feature(oidc): add support for OpenID Connect
OpenID connect has become a standard when it comes to authentication and
in order to fix a security concern around forwarding authentication and authorization information
it has been decided to add support for it.

This feature is in beta version and only enabled when there is a configuration for it.
Before enabling it in production, please consider that it's in beta with potential bugs and that there
are several production critical features still missing such as all OIDC related data is stored in
configuration or memory. This means you are potentially going to experience issues with HA
deployments, or when restarting a single instance specifically related to OIDC.

We are still working on adding the remaining set of features before making it GA as soon as possible.

# OpenID Connect
**Authelia** currently supports the [OpenID Connect] OP role as a [beta](#beta) feature. The OP role is the
[OpenID Connect] Provider role, not the Relaying Party or RP role. This means other applications that implement the
[OpenID Connect] RP role can use Authelia as an authentication and authorization backend similar to how you may use
social media or development platforms for login.
The Relaying Party role is the role which allows an application to use GitHub, Google, or other [OpenID Connect]
providers for authentication and authorization. We do not intend to support this functionality at this moment in time.
## Beta
We have decided to implement [OpenID Connect] as a beta feature, it's suggested you only utilize it for testing and
providing feedback, and should take caution in relying on it in production. [OpenID Connect] and it's related endpoints
are not enabled by default unless you specifically configure the [OpenID Connect] section.
The beta will be broken up into stages. Each stage will bring additional features. The following table is a *rough* plan
for which stage will have each feature, and may evolve over time:

## Options
### hmac_secret
The HMAC secret used to sign the [OpenID Connect] JWT's. The provided string is hashed to a SHA256 byte string for
the purpose of meeting the required format.
Can also be defined using a [secret](../secrets.md) which is the recommended for containerized deployments.
### issuer_private_key
The private key in DER base64 encoded PEM format used to encrypt the [OpenID Connect] JWT's.
Can also be defined using a [secret](../secrets.md) which is the recommended for containerized deployments.
### clients
A list of clients to configure. The options for each client are described below.
#### id
The Client ID for this client. Must be configured in the application consuming this client.
#### description
A friendly description for this client shown in the UI. This defaults to the same as the ID.
#### secret
The shared secret between Authelia and the application consuming this client. Currently this is stored in plain text.
#### authorization_policy
The authorization policy for this client. Either `one_factor` or `two_factor`.
#### redirect_uris
A list of valid callback URL's this client will redirect to. All other callbacks will be considered unsafe. The URL's
are case-sensitive.
#### scopes
A list of scopes to allow this client to consume. See [scope definitions](#scope-definitions) for more information.
#### grant_types
A list of grant types this client can return. It is recommended that this isn't configured at this time unless you know
what you're doing.
#### response_types
A list of response types this client can return. It is recommended that this isn't configured at this time unless you
know what you're doing.
