# OIDC and delegated authentication
See https://areweoidcyet.com/client-implementation-guide/ for implementation details.
Element Web uses [MSC2965: OIDC provider discovery ](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2965 ) to discover the configured provider.
2024-12-23 18:43:50 +00:00
Where a valid MSC2965 configuration is discovered, OIDC native login flow will be the only login option offered.
2023-10-20 12:56:18 +13:00
Element Web will attempt to [dynamically register ](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-registration-1_0.html ) with the configured OP.
Then, authentication will be completed [as described here ](https://areweoidcyet.com/client-implementation-guide/ ).
#### Statically configured OIDC clients
Clients that are already registered with the OP can configure their `client_id` in `config.json` .
Where static configuration exists for the OP dynamic client registration will not be attempted.
``` json
{
"oidc_static_clients" : {
"https://dummyoidcprovider.com/" : {
"client_id" : "abc123"
}
}
}
```
