Hi all,<br>
<br>
I just took a look on the OIDC discovery spec. Why does it use .well-known? I'm asking since it deviates from the RFC in that it allows for path components (in order to support multi-tenancy) and the URL itself is either discovered via WebFinger or obtained out of band. Why not just obtain the connect config base URL that way and directly request the metadata. What is the value of adding "/.well-known" to the URL?<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Torsten.<br>
