Disable OpenID HTTPS Discovery	Provider discovery endpoint is on HTTP (not recommended in production).
Disable Pushed Authorization	Required for Authelia, which does not support PAR.
Do Not Validate OpenID Endpoints	Required for Google, which uses different endpoint authority.
Do Not Validate OpenID Issuer Name	Use when the issuer name in the token does not match the discovery URL.
Do Not Load Profile Information	Skip the UserInfo endpoint call. Required for some providers like Cloudflare.
Scheme Override	Override the URL scheme for the redirect URI (e.g., https if Jellyfin is behind a reverse proxy on HTTP).
Port Override	Override the port in the redirect URI (e.g., if Jellyfin is behind a reverse proxy).

Redirect URI

The redirect URI that must be registered in your identity provider is:

https://<your-jellyfin-domain>/sso/OID/redirect/<provider-name>

Multiple Providers

You can add multiple OIDC providers. Each must have a unique Provider Name. Users can then choose which provider to log in with.

Saving and Applying Changes
