  title: SPIRE OIDC Discovery Provider API
  description: >-
    The SPIRE OIDC Discovery Provider is a helper component that exposes a minimal
    OpenID Connect discovery document and JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint. This
    allows workloads to present JWT-SVIDs issued by SPIRE to systems that support
    standard OIDC token validation, including cloud provider IAM systems such as
    AWS, GCP, and Azure. The provider derives its key material from the SPIRE
    Server or Agent trust bundle and serves it over HTTPS.

      summary: SPIRE Get OpenID Connect discovery document
      description: >-
        Returns the OpenID Connect discovery document describing the OIDC
        provider's configuration. The document includes the issuer URL, JWKS
        URI, supported response types, subject types, and supported signing
        algorithms. This endpoint is used by OIDC-compatible systems to
        auto-configure themselves to validate JWT-SVIDs issued by SPIRE.
        The path prefix can be customized via the server_path_prefix option.

      summary: SPIRE Get JSON Web Key Set
      description: >-
        Returns the JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) containing the public keys used
        to verify JWT-SVIDs issued by SPIRE. The keys are derived from the
        SPIRE trust bundle and are automatically rotated as SPIRE rotates its
        signing keys. Consumers must re-fetch this endpoint periodically to
        stay current with key rotations. Supported signing algorithms include
        RS256, ES256, and ES384.
