Verified feature request does not already exist?

I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Hi all

TLDR; It would be great to expose authMethod to UI when setting open id.

I have enabled openid support for multiuser support and that is great.

My local network has a keycloak instance and I have spent too much time trying to make it work with actual budget.
And the reason is because keycloak clients are OpenId-connect by default and it is not something supported, login process was failing due to iss claim absent.

I solved it (after quite a lot of time of pondering) by using config.json, thanks to that thread, by login into docker image, creating config.json with authMethod as oauth2 and enabling/disabling openid feature with npm script.

Best

Does anything need changed if you were able to get it working? Sounds like it's more a documentation issue than a new feature.

It would be a lot easier to have this option as a dropdown in UI instead of creating config.json on the docker instance and running npm commands within.
