OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 incorporating errata set 2
Abstract
OpenID Connect 1.0 is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0
protocol. It enables Clients to verify the identity of the End-User
based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Server, as
well as to obtain basic profile information about the End-User in an
interoperable and REST-like manner.
This specification defines a mechanism for an OpenID Connect Relying
Party to discover the End-User's OpenID Provider and obtain
information needed to interact with it, including its OAuth 2.0
endpoint locations.

OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
1. Introduction
OpenID Connect 1.0 is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0
[RFC6749] protocol. It enables Clients to verify the identity of the
End-User based on the authentication performed by an Authorization
Server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the End-
User in an interoperable and REST-like manner.
In order for an OpenID Connect Relying Party to utilize OpenID
Connect services for an End-User, the RP needs to know where the
OpenID Provider is. OpenID Connect uses WebFinger [RFC7033] to
locate the OpenID Provider for an End-User. This process is
described in Section 2.
Once the OpenID Provider has been identified, the configuration
information for that OP is retrieved from a well-known location as a
JSON [RFC8259] document, including its OAuth 2.0 endpoint locations.
This process is described in Section 4.
The previous versions of this specification are:
o OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 incorporating errata set 1
[OpenID.Discovery.Errata1]
o OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 (final) [OpenID.Discovery.Final]
1.1. Requirements Notation and Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC
2119 [RFC2119].
In the .txt version of this specification, values are quoted to
indicate that they are to be taken literally. When using these
values in protocol messages, the quotes MUST NOT be used as part of
the value. In the HTML version of this specification, values to be
taken literally are indicated by the use of "this fixed-width font".
All uses of JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] and JSON Web Encryption
(JWE) [JWE] data structures in this specification utilize the JWS
Compact Serialization or the JWE Compact Serialization; the JWS JSON
Serialization and the JWE JSON Serialization are not used.
1.2. Terminology
This specification uses the terms "Authorization Code",
"Authorization Endpoint", "Authorization Server", "Client", "Client
Sakimura, et al. [Page 3]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
Authentication", "Client Secret", "Grant Type", "Response Type", and
"Token Endpoint" defined by OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749], the terms "Claim
Name", "Claim Value", and "JSON Web Token (JWT)" defined by JSON Web
Token (JWT) [JWT], and the terms defined by OpenID Connect Core 1.0
[OpenID.Core] and OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type Encoding Practices
[OAuth.Responses].
This specification also defines the following terms:
Resource
Entity that is the target of a request in WebFinger.
Host
Server where a WebFinger service is hosted.
Identifier
Value that uniquely characterizes an Entity in a specific context.
NOTE: This specification defines various kinds of Identifiers,
designed for use in different contexts. Examples include URLs
using the "https" scheme and e-mail addresses.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO READERS: The terminology definitions in this
section are a normative portion of this specification, imposing
requirements upon implementations. All the capitalized words in the
text of this specification, such as "Identifier", reference these
defined terms. Whenever the reader encounters them, their
definitions found in this section must be followed.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 4]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
2. OpenID Provider Issuer Discovery
OpenID Provider Issuer discovery is the process of determining the
location of the OpenID Provider.
Issuer discovery is OPTIONAL; if a Relying Party knows the OP's
Issuer location through an out-of-band mechanism, it can skip this
step and proceed to Section 4.
The following information is needed to perform issuer discovery using
WebFinger [RFC7033]:
resource
Identifier for the target End-User that is the subject of the
discovery request.
host
Server where a WebFinger service is hosted.
rel
URI identifying the type of service whose location is being
requested.
OpenID Connect uses the following discoverable "rel" value in
WebFinger [RFC7033]:
+----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Rel Type | URI |
+----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| OpenID Connect | http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer |
| Issuer | |
+----------------------+--------------------------------------------+
To start discovery of OpenID endpoints, the End-User supplies an
Identifier to the Relying Party. Any Web input form MUST employ
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) prevention [OWASP.CSRF].
The RP applies normalization rules to the Identifier to determine the
Resource and Host. Then it makes an HTTP "GET" request to the Host's
WebFinger [RFC7033] endpoint with the "resource" parameter to obtain
the location of the requested service. Use of the "rel" parameter in
the request with a value of
"http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer" is also RECOMMENDED to
narrow the response to the specific link relation type needed.
All WebFinger communication MUST utilize TLS in the manner described
in Section 7.1. The WebFinger endpoint SHOULD support the use of
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) [CORS] and/or other methods as
Sakimura, et al. [Page 5]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
appropriate to enable JavaScript Clients and other Browser-Based
Clients to access it.
The Issuer location MUST be returned in the WebFinger response as the
value of the "href" member of a "links" array element with "rel"
member value "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer". (Per
Section 7 of WebFinger [RFC7033], obtaining the WebFinger response
may first involve following some redirects.)
The returned Issuer location MUST be a URI RFC 3986 [RFC3986] with a
scheme component that MUST be "https", a host component, and
optionally, port and path components and no query or fragment
components. Note that since the Host and Resource values determined
from the user input Identifier, as described in Section 2.1, are used
as input to a WebFinger request, which can return an Issuer value
using a completely different scheme, host, port, and path, no
relationship can be assumed between the user input Identifier string
and the resulting Issuer location.
2.1. Identifier Normalization
The purpose of Identifier normalization is to determine normalized
Resource and Host values from the user input Identifier. These are
then used as WebFinger request parameters to discover the Issuer
location.
The user input Identifier SHOULD be a URL or URI relative reference
defined in RFC 3986 [RFC3986]. The user input Identifier MUST
include the authority component.
NOTE: A URI relative reference includes a string that looks like an
e-mail address in the form of "userinfo@host". This is a valid
authority component of a URI but excludes various possible extra
strings allowed in "addr-spec" syntax of RFC 5322 [RFC5322].
The Identifier normalization rules MAY be extended by additional
specifications to enable other identifier types such as telephone
numbers or XRIs [XRI_Syntax_2.0] to also be used.
2.1.1. User Input Identifier Types
A user input Identifier can be categorized into the following types,
which require different normalization processes:
1. User input Identifiers starting with the XRI [XRI_Syntax_2.0]
global context symbols ('=','@', and '!') are RESERVED.
Processing of these identifiers is out of scope for this
specification.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 6]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
2. All other user input Identifiers MUST be treated as a URI in one
of the forms "scheme "://" authority path-abempty [ "?" query ] [
"#" fragment ]" or "authority path-abempty [ "?" query ] [ "#"
fragment ]" or "scheme ":" path-rootless", per RFC 3986
[RFC3986].
NOTE: The user input Identifier MAY be in the form of
"userinfo@host". For the End-User, this would normally be perceived
as being an e-mail address. However, it is also a valid userpart "@"
host section of an "acct" URI [RFC7565], and this specification
treats it such as to exclude various extra strings allowed in
"addr-spec" of RFC 5322 [RFC5322].
2.1.2. Normalization Steps
A string of any other type is interpreted as a URI in one of the
forms "scheme "://" authority path-abempty [ "?" query ] [ "#"
fragment ]" or "authority path-abempty [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment
]" or "scheme ":" path-rootless" per RFC 3986 [RFC3986] and is
normalized according to the following rules:
1. If the user input Identifier does not have an RFC 3986 [RFC3986]
scheme component, the string is interpreted as "[userinfo "@"]
host [":" port] path-abempty [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]" per
RFC 3986 [RFC3986]. Examples are "example.com",
"joe@example.com", "example.com/joe", and "example.com:8080".
2. If the userinfo and host components are present and all of the
scheme, path, query, port, and fragment components are absent,
the "acct" scheme is assumed. In this case, the normalized URI
is formed by prefixing "acct:" to the string as the scheme. Per
The 'acct' URI Scheme [RFC7565], if there is an at-sign character
('@') in the userinfo component, it needs to be percent-encoded,
as described in RFC 3986 [RFC3986]. Examples are
"joe@example.com" and "Jane.Doe@example.com".
3. For all other inputs without a scheme component, the "https"
scheme is assumed, and the normalized URI is formed by prefixing
"https://" to the string as the scheme. Examples are
"example.com", "example.com/joe", "example.com:8080", and
"joe@example.com:8080".
4. When the input contains an explicit scheme such as "acct" or
"https" that matches the RFC 3986 "scheme ":" path-rootless"
syntax, no input normalization is performed. Examples are
"https://example.com", "https://example.com/joe",
"https://joe@example.com:8080", and "acct:joe@example.com".
Sakimura, et al. [Page 7]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
5. If the resulting URI contains a fragment component, it MUST be
stripped off, together with the fragment delimiter character "#".
The WebFinger [RFC7033] Resource in this case is the resulting URI,
and the WebFinger Host is the authority component.
NOTE: Since the definition of "authority" in RFC 3986 [RFC3986] is "[
userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]", it is legal to have a user input
identifier like "userinfo@host:port", e.g., "alice@example.com:8080".
2.2. Non-Normative Examples
2.2.1. User Input using E-Mail Address Syntax
To find the Issuer for the given user input in the form of an e-mail
address "joe@example.com", the WebFinger parameters are as follows:
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| WebFinger Parameter | Value |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| resource | acct:joe@example.com |
| | |
| host | example.com |
| | |
| rel | http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
Note that in this case, the "acct:" scheme [RFC7565] is prepended to
the Identifier.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 8]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
The RP would make the following WebFinger request to discover the
Issuer location (with line wraps within lines for display purposes
only):

}
]
}
2.2.3. User Input using Hostname and Port Syntax
If the user input is in the form of "host:port", e.g., example.com:
8080, then it is assumed as the authority component of the URL.
To find the Issuer for the given hostname, "example.com:8080", the
WebFinger parameters are as follows:
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| WebFinger Parameter | Value |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| resource | https://example.com:8080/ |
| | |
| host | example.com:8080 |

NOTE: It is common for sites to use e-mail addresses as local
identifiers for accounts at those sites, even though the domain in
the e-mail address is not one controlled by the site. For instance,
the site "example.org" might have a local account named
"joe@example.com". This specification uses "acct:" URIs as defined
by [RFC7565] to represent such accounts during WebFinger discovery.
Such an example is "acct:joe%40example.com@example.org". End-Users
MAY input values like "joe@example.com@example.org" to initiate
discovery on such accounts.

3. OpenID Provider Metadata
OpenID Providers have metadata describing their configuration. These
OpenID Provider Metadata values are used by OpenID Connect:
issuer
REQUIRED. URL using the "https" scheme with no query or fragment
components that the OP asserts as its Issuer Identifier. If
Issuer discovery is supported (see Section 2), this value MUST be
identical to the issuer value returned by WebFinger. This also
MUST be identical to the "iss" Claim value in ID Tokens issued
from this Issuer.
authorization_endpoint
REQUIRED. URL of the OP's OAuth 2.0 Authorization Endpoint
[OpenID.Core]. This URL MUST use the "https" scheme and MAY
contain port, path, and query parameter components.
token_endpoint
URL of the OP's OAuth 2.0 Token Endpoint [OpenID.Core]. This is
REQUIRED unless only the Implicit Flow is used. This URL MUST use
the "https" scheme and MAY contain port, path, and query parameter
components.
userinfo_endpoint
RECOMMENDED. URL of the OP's UserInfo Endpoint [OpenID.Core].
This URL MUST use the "https" scheme and MAY contain port, path,
and query parameter components.
jwks_uri
REQUIRED. URL of the OP's JWK Set [JWK] document, which MUST use
the "https" scheme. This contains the signing key(s) the RP uses
to validate signatures from the OP. The JWK Set MAY also contain
the Server's encryption key(s), which are used by RPs to encrypt
requests to the Server. When both signing and encryption keys are
made available, a "use" (public key use) parameter value is
REQUIRED for all keys in the referenced JWK Set to indicate each
key's intended usage. Although some algorithms allow the same key
to be used for both signatures and encryption, doing so is NOT
RECOMMENDED, as it is less secure. The JWK "x5c" parameter MAY be
used to provide X.509 representations of keys provided. When
used, the bare key values MUST still be present and MUST match
those in the certificate. The JWK Set MUST NOT contain private or
symmetric key values.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 13]

exhaustive list.
service_documentation
OPTIONAL. URL of a page containing human-readable information
that developers might want or need to know when using the OpenID
Provider. In particular, if the OpenID Provider does not support
Dynamic Client Registration, then information on how to register
Clients needs to be provided in this documentation.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 16]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
claims_locales_supported
OPTIONAL. Languages and scripts supported for values in Claims
being returned, represented as a JSON array of BCP47 [RFC5646]
language tag values. Not all languages and scripts are
necessarily supported for all Claim values.
ui_locales_supported
OPTIONAL. Languages and scripts supported for the user interface,
represented as a JSON array of BCP47 [RFC5646] language tag
values.
claims_parameter_supported
OPTIONAL. Boolean value specifying whether the OP supports use of
the "claims" parameter, with "true" indicating support. If
omitted, the default value is "false".
request_parameter_supported
OPTIONAL. Boolean value specifying whether the OP supports use of
the "request" parameter, with "true" indicating support. If
omitted, the default value is "false".
request_uri_parameter_supported
OPTIONAL. Boolean value specifying whether the OP supports use of
the "request_uri" parameter, with "true" indicating support. If
omitted, the default value is "true".
require_request_uri_registration
OPTIONAL. Boolean value specifying whether the OP requires any
"request_uri" values used to be pre-registered using the
"request_uris" registration parameter. Pre-registration is
REQUIRED when the value is "true". If omitted, the default value
is "false".
op_policy_uri
OPTIONAL. URL that the OpenID Provider provides to the person
registering the Client to read about the OP's requirements on how
the Relying Party can use the data provided by the OP. The
registration process SHOULD display this URL to the person
registering the Client if it is given.
op_tos_uri
OPTIONAL. URL that the OpenID Provider provides to the person
registering the Client to read about the OpenID Provider's terms
of service. The registration process SHOULD display this URL to
the person registering the Client if it is given.
The Token Endpoint, UserInfo Endpoint, "jwks_uri" endpoint, Dynamic
Client Registration Endpoint, and any other endpoints directly
Sakimura, et al. [Page 17]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
accessed by Clients SHOULD support the use of Cross-Origin Resource
Sharing (CORS) [CORS] and/or other methods as appropriate to enable
JavaScript Clients and other Browser-Based Clients to access them.
The use of CORS at the Authorization Endpoint is NOT RECOMMENDED as
it is redirected to by the client and not directly accessed.
Additional OpenID Provider Metadata parameters MAY also be used.
Some are defined by other specifications, such as OpenID Connect
Session Management 1.0 [OpenID.Session].
Sakimura, et al. [Page 18]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
4. Obtaining OpenID Provider Configuration Information
Using the Issuer location discovered as described in Section 2 or by
other means, the OpenID Provider's configuration information can be
retrieved.
OpenID Providers supporting Discovery MUST make a JSON document
available at the path formed by concatenating the string
"/.well-known/openid-configuration" to the Issuer. The syntax and
semantics of ".well-known" are defined in RFC 5785 [RFC5785] and
apply to the Issuer value when it contains no path component.
"openid-configuration" MUST point to a JSON document compliant with
this specification and MUST be returned using the "application/json"
content type. The "openid-configuration" endpoint SHOULD support the
use of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) [CORS] and/or other
methods as appropriate to enable JavaScript Clients and other
Browser-Based Clients to access it.
4.1. OpenID Provider Configuration Request
An OpenID Provider's configuration information MUST be retrieved
using an HTTP "GET" request at the previously specified path.
The RP would make the following request to the Issuer
"https://example.com" to obtain its Configuration information, since
the Issuer contains no path component:
GET /.well-known/openid-configuration HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
If the Issuer value contains a path component, any terminating "/"
MUST be removed before appending "/.well-known/openid-configuration".
The RP would make the following request to the Issuer
"https://example.com/issuer1" to obtain its configuration
information, since the Issuer contains a path component:
GET /issuer1/.well-known/openid-configuration HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Using path components enables supporting multiple issuers per host.
This is required in some multi-tenant hosting configurations. This
use of ".well-known" is for supporting multiple issuers per host;
unlike its use in RFC 5785 [RFC5785], it does not provide general
information about the host.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 19]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
4.2. OpenID Provider Configuration Response
The response is a set of Claims about the OpenID Provider's
configuration, including all necessary endpoints and public key
location information. A successful response MUST use the 200 OK HTTP
status code and return a JSON object using the "application/json"
content type that contains a set of Claims as its members that are a
subset of the Metadata values defined in Section 3. Other Claims MAY
also be returned.
Claims that return multiple values are represented as JSON arrays.
Claims with zero elements MUST be omitted from the response.
An error response uses the applicable HTTP status code value.
The following is a non-normative example response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

4.3. OpenID Provider Configuration Validation
If any of the validation procedures defined in this specification
fail, any operations requiring the information that failed to
correctly validate MUST be aborted and the information that failed to
validate MUST NOT be used.
The "issuer" value returned MUST be identical to the Issuer URL that
was used as the prefix to "/.well-known/openid-configuration" to
retrieve the configuration information. This MUST also be identical
to the "iss" Claim value in ID Tokens issued from this Issuer.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 21]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
5. String Operations
Processing some OpenID Connect messages requires comparing values in
the messages to known values. For example, the member names in the
provider configuration response might be compared to specific member
names such as "issuer". Comparing Unicode [UNICODE] strings,
however, has significant security implications.
Therefore, comparisons between JSON strings and other Unicode strings
MUST be performed as specified below:
1. Remove any JSON applied escaping to produce an array of Unicode
code points.
2. Unicode Normalization [USA15] MUST NOT be applied at any point to
either the JSON string or to the string it is to be compared
against.
3. Comparisons between the two strings MUST be performed as a
Unicode code point to code point equality comparison.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 22]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
6. Implementation Considerations
This specification defines features used by both Relying Parties and
OpenID Providers that choose to implement Discovery. All of these
Relying Parties and OpenID Providers MUST implement the features that
are listed in this specification as being "REQUIRED" or are described
with a "MUST". No other implementation considerations for
implementations of Discovery are defined by this specification.
6.1. Compatibility Notes
NOTE: Potential compatibility issues that were previously described
in the original version of this specification have since been
addressed.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 23]
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 December 2023
7. Security Considerations
7.1. TLS Requirements
Implementations MUST support TLS. Which version(s) ought to be
implemented will vary over time and depend on the widespread
deployment and known security vulnerabilities at the time of
implementation. Implementations SHOULD follow the guidance in BCP
195 [RFC8996] [RFC9325], which provides recommendations and
requirements for improving the security of deployed services that use
TLS.
To protect against information disclosure and tampering,
confidentiality protection MUST be applied using TLS with a
ciphersuite that provides confidentiality and integrity protection.
Whenever TLS is used, a TLS server certificate check MUST be
performed, per RFC 6125 [RFC6125].
7.2. Impersonation Attacks
TLS certificate checking MUST be performed by the RP, as described in
Section 7.1, when making an OpenID Provider Configuration Request.
Checking that the server certificate is valid for the Issuer URL
prevents man-in-middle and DNS-based attacks. These attacks could
cause an RP to be tricked into using an attacker's keys and
endpoints, which would enable impersonation of the legitimate Issuer.
If an attacker can accomplish this, they can access the accounts of
any existing users at the affected RP that can be logged into using
the OP that they are impersonating.
An attacker may also attempt to impersonate an OpenID Provider by
publishing a Discovery document that contains an "issuer" Claim using
the Issuer URL of the OP being impersonated, but with its own
endpoints and signing keys. This would enable it to issue ID Tokens
as that OP, if accepted by the RP. To prevent this, RPs MUST ensure
that the Issuer URL they are using for the Configuration Request
exactly matches the value of the "issuer" Claim in the OP Metadata
document received by the RP and that this also exactly matches the
"iss" Claim value in ID Tokens that are supposed to be from that
Issuer.
Sakimura, et al. [Page 24]
