[Bug 2027729] [NEW] Federation docs for OIDC recommend implicit grant

 

Public bug reported:

The documentation for setting up OIDC says to use id_token in
OIDCResponseType instead of code (or omitting the line entirely since
code is the default).

https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/latest/admin/federation/configure_federation.html#configuring-
apache-httpd-for-mod-auth-openidc

Using implicit grant is not recommended as
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-security-
topics-09

What is recommended is Authorization Code with PKCE.
