Endpoint discovery

VerifID is an OAuth 2.0 authorization server, and provides authorization server metadata per the draft standard(2) at the following URL:

https://example.edu/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

The metadata at this URL shall contain the following:

issuer This is the scheme/hostname of VerifID. For the example URL above, this would be https://example.edu
authorization_endpoint This is the URL used for the “Verification request” described below.
token_endpoint This is the URL used for “Retrieving the access token” as described below.

Other values shall be provided within this metadata as needed, and their meaning shall be as defined in the draft standard.

Reminder: All URLs described in this document are examples, and the information in the authorization server metadata must be considered authoritative for which URLs should be used.
