OIDC with Gluu 3.1.3 and OpenAM 6

Question

INSIGHT:

1. Gluu supports Bearer Authentication for token introspection (accepts bearer token as an authentication header).
2. OpenAM supports Basic Authentication (accepts base64 encoded clientId:ClientSecret as a authentication header)

QUESTION:

How can I implement generic OpenID connect in Node js 10.9.0 which supports both Gluu and OpenAM?

Answer 1

There is no way to handle it in generic way, you will need to add some configuration to specify what type of authentication is expected(Basic/Bearer) and add switch-case/if-else for supporting both IDP's.
