This parameter is specified as part of the URL. - `issuer` `(string: )` - Specifies what will be used as the `scheme://host:port` component for the `iss` claim of ID tokens. This defaults to a URL with Vault's `api_addr` as the `scheme://host:port` component and `/v1/:namespace/identity/oidc/provider/:name` as the path component. If provided explicitly, it must point to a Vault instance that is network reachable by clients for ID token validation. - `allowed_client_ids` `([]string: )` – The client IDs that are permitted to use the provider. If empty, no clients are allowed. If `"*"` is provided, all clients are allowed. - `scopes_supported` `([]string: )` – The scopes available for requesting on the provider. ### Sample payload ```json { "allowed_client_ids": ["*"], "scopes_supported": ["test-scope"] } ``` ### Sample request ```shell-session $ curl \ --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \ --request POST \ --data @payload.json \ http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/identity/oidc/provider/test-provider ``` ## Read provider by name This endpoint queries the OIDC provider by its name. | Method | Path | | :----- | :------------------------ | | `GET` | `/identity/oidc/provider/:name` | ### Parameters - `name` `(string: )` – The name of the provider. ### Sample request ```shell-session $ curl \ --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \ http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/identity/oidc/provider/test-provider ``` ### Sample response ```json { "data": { "allowed_client_ids":["*"], "issuer":"", "scopes_supported":["test-scope"] } } ``` ## List providers This endpoint returns a list of all OIDC providers. | Method | Path | | :----- | :------------------------------ | | `LIST` | `/identity/oidc/provider` | ### Query parameters - `allowed_client_id` `(string: )` – Filters the list of OIDC providers to those that allow the given client ID in their set of [allowed_client_ids](/vault/api-docs/secret/identity/oidc-provider#allowed_client_ids). ### Sample request ```shell-session $ curl \ --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \ --request LIST \ http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/identity/oidc/provider ``` ### Sample response ```json { "data": { "key_info": { "default": { "allowed_client_ids": [ "*" ], "issuer": "http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/identity/oidc/provider/default", "scopes_supported": [] } }, "keys": [ "default" ] } } ``` ## Delete provider by name This endpoint deletes an OIDC provider. | Method | Path | | :------- | :------------------------ | | `DELETE` | `/identity/oidc/provider/:name` | ### Parameters - `name` `(string: )` – The name of the provider. ### Sample request ```shell-session $ curl \ --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \ --request DELETE \ http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/identity/oidc/provider/test-provider ``` ## Create or update a scope This endpoint creates or updates a scope. | Method | Path | | :----- | :----------------- | | `POST` | `identity/oidc/scope/:name` | ### Parameters - `name` `(string: )` – The name of the scope.

Accepts [duration format strings](/vault/docs/concepts/duration-format). The value should be less than the `verification_ttl` on the key. - `access_token_ttl` `(int or duration: "24h")` – The time-to-live for access tokens obtained by the client.
