<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services to provide authentication and optional paid features. No data is sent to any external service except as described below.</p>
<p><strong>1) Microsoft Azure AD / Entra ID (required for SSO login)</strong></p>
<p>Used for SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication.</p>
<p>Data sent and when:</p>
<ul>
<li>On SSO login start, the browser is redirected to Microsoft with Azure app/protocol parameters (tenant endpoint, app/client ID, redirect URI, state, scopes, SAML request/relay state as applicable).</li>
<li>On OIDC callback, the site sends the one-time authorization code (and PKCE verifier) to Microsoft’s token endpoint.</li>
<li>On SAML setup import/test actions, the site fetches your tenant’s federation metadata URL.</li>
<li>On logout (if SLO/end-session is enabled), the browser is redirected to Microsoft’s logout endpoint.</li>
</ul>
<p>Returned identity claims (email, name, subject/object ID, roles/groups) are used to authenticate/provision users and stored in your WordPress database.</p>

</ul>
<p><strong>2) Microsoft Graph API (Pro only; when configured by the site admin)</strong></p>
<p>Used to sync users and groups from Microsoft Entra ID into WordPress.</p>
<p>Data sent and when:</p>
<ul>
<li>When an admin runs a Graph test, import, or sync (manual or scheduled), the site sends requests to Microsoft Graph using app-only access tokens.</li>
<li>Requests include query parameters for the configured sync operations (group/member lookups, account status checks, etc.).</li>
</ul>
<p>Returned directory fields (user principal name, email, display name, object IDs, group membership, account status) are used to create, update, or deprovision WordPress users per plugin settings.</p>

<p><strong>3) Freemius (optional; only when admin opts in or activates a paid license)</strong></p>
<p>Used for licensing, upgrade flow, and optional analytics.</p>
<p>Data sent and when:</p>
<ul>
<li>On activation, an opt-in prompt is shown; no data is sent unless the admin consents.</li>
<li>On license activation/validation, the site exchanges license, account, and site information with Freemius servers.</li>
<li>

<p>Keystone OIDC transforms your WordPress installation into a fully-featured <strong>OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider</strong>, allowing other applications to authenticate users via your WordPress user database.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>OIDC Authorization Code Flow</strong> with PKCE support</li>
<li><strong>RS256 JWT</strong> signed access tokens and ID tokens</li>
<li><strong>Admin UI</strong> to create and manage multiple OIDC clients</li>
<li><strong>Client secret management</strong> – generate and reset secrets securely (shown only once)</li>
<li><strong>OIDC Discovery</strong> endpoint (<code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration</code>) for automatic client configuration</li>
<li><strong>Standard scopes</strong>: <code>openid</code>, <code>profile</code>, <code>email</code></li>
<li><strong>Refresh tokens</strong> for long-lived sessions</li>
<li><strong>Zero additional configuration</strong> after install – just create a client and you’re ready</li>
</ul>
<h4>Quick Start</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to <strong>OIDC Provider <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Add Client</strong> in your WordPress admin</li>
<li>Enter your application name and redirect URI(s)</li>
<li>Copy the generated <strong>Client ID</strong> and <strong>Client Secret</strong> (shown once)</li>
<li>Configure your OIDC client application with the discovery URL shown in the settings</li>
</ol>
<h4>Endpoints</h4>
<p>All URLs are relative to your WordPress site root.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Discovery:</strong> <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration</code></li>
<li><strong>Authorization:</strong> <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/oauth/authorize</code></li>
<li><strong>Token:</strong> <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/oauth/token</code></li>
<li><strong>UserInfo:</strong> <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/oauth/userinfo</code></li>
<li><strong>JWKS:</strong> <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/oauth/jwks</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Compatibility aliases are also routed under <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/protocol/openid-connect/*</code> for clients that still derive Keycloak-style paths from the custom issuer URI. These aliases are not advertised in discovery.</p>
<h4>UserInfo Example</h4>
<p>For <code>openid profile email</code>, <code>/wenisch-tech/keystone-oidc/oauth/userinfo</code> returns:</p>
<pre><code>{
  "sub": "42",
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "given_name": "Jane",
  "family_name": "Doe",
  "preferred_username": "jane",
  "email": "jane@example.com",
  "email_verified": true
}

sub is the WordPress user ID as a string, `preferred_username` is the WordPress `user_login`, and `email` is the WordPress `user_email`.
</code></pre>
<p>Roles are not currently emitted. The plugin does not expose WordPress roles or capabilities in UserInfo or ID tokens.</p>
