About

oidc-provider.dev is a community-driven documentation portal that addresses the widely recognized documentation gap in the @panva/node-oidc-provider ecosystem. It provides structured integration guides, annotated configuration references, real-world adapter examples, grant handler patterns, and conceptual explanations of the OIDC protocol surface exposed by the library. Maintained by an active production implementer with direct experience building OpenID Certified identity servers on node-oidc-provider, including Parako.ID.
