Class: OidcProvider

OidcProvider(connection, options)

The Authentication Provider for OpenID Connect.

See the openid-connect-popup.html and openid-connect-redirect.html files in the /examples/oidc folder for usage examples in the browser.

If you want to implement OIDC in a non-browser environment, you can override the OidcProvider or AuthProvider classes with custom behavior. In this case you must provide a function that creates your new class to the Connection.setOidcProviderFactory() method.

Constructor

new OidcProvider(connection, options)

Creates a new OidcProvider instance to authenticate using OpenID Connect.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
connection Connection

A Connection object representing an established connection to an openEO back-end.
options OidcProviderMeta

OpenID Connect Provider details as returned by the API.
