Configuring the OIDC#

The required OIDC configuration has the form of:

  "issuer": "https://oidc-compatible-server-url.com",
  "authorization_endpoint": "https://oidc-compatible-server-url.com/connect/authorize",
  "token_endpoint": "https://oidc-compatible-server-url.com/connect/token",
  "end_session_endpoint": "https://oidc-compatible-server-url.com/connect/logout",
  "userinfo_endpoint": "https://oidc-compatible-server-url.com/connect/userinfo",
}

Checklist for Security Owner#

The owner of the authorization server and the KivaProtocol integrator must review and confirm the configuration of the following checklist:

CI/CD Pipeline to ensure that binaries aren't produced ad hoc in individual computers.
Obfuscation vendor to ensure that the final deliverable is fully protected.
