## State Validation
53
The ValidateState environment variable determines if LubeLogger should validate the state token echoed back by the OIDC provider. This is set to false by default, if enabled, LubeLogger will fail any login attempts where the state token is not identical to what it sent to the provider. Leave this disabled if you wish to have IdP-initiated SSO.
54

## Proof of KeyCode Exchange(PKCE)
56
The UsePKCE environment variable determines if LubeLogger should generate and pass in a SHA-256-hashed challenge code to the OIDC provider.
57

## Testing

Once you have all these environment variables injected correctly, you should see the ability to login via your OIDC provider. Note: Currently LubeLogger only supports one OIDC provider.

LubeLogger uses the user's email address to authenticate against a registered user, the email address provided by the OIDC provider must match the email address of the user in the system.

If the user is attempting to login via OIDC but does not have an account with LubeLogger, they will be prompted for a registration token and to set up a username which will then allow them to log in. Note that the registration token is only required for their first time logging in.

# Future Feature

The following sections describes a feature only available in 1.4.6 and above

76
The Remote Auth Debug feature is helpful for diagnosing OIDC-related issues, here's how to use it:
77
78
1. Set `OpenIDConfig__RedirectURL` to `https://yourlubeloggerdomain/Login/RemoteAuthDebug`
79
2. Configure your OpenID Provider so that `https://yourlubeloggerdomain/Login/RemoteAuthDebug` is a valid Redirect URL
80
3. Login using OIDC, instead of being redirected to login, you will be redirected to a page that displays checks and results.
