Provider metadata reference

SSO Server publishes it's OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0 endpoint addresses and other capabilities and features in a metadata document.

Metadata allows applications to dynamically discover endpoints and features.

The following lists metadata parameters published by SSO Server
