Announcing RxDBDotNet v1.1.2 - Now with OIDC Support! 🚀

[rbeauchamp]

We're excited to announce the release of RxDBDotNet v1.1.2, which significantly enhances our authentication capabilities, particularly for GraphQL subscriptions.

🌟 Key Feature: OpenID Connect (OIDC) Support

With this release, RxDBDotNet now supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) configuration for JWT validation in GraphQL subscriptions. This feature enhances our library's flexibility and security, especially when working with OIDC-compliant identity providers.

What's New:

• 🔐 Dynamic retrieval of OIDC configuration, including signing keys
• 🔄 Support for key rotation without requiring application restarts
• 🤝 Seamless integration with existing JWT authentication setups

Benefits:

• 🛠 Easier integration with OIDC-compliant identity providers (e.g., IdentityServer)
• 🔒 Enhanced security through dynamic key management
• 🚀 Improved flexibility in authentication setups

🔧 How to Use

The best part? If you already use JWT authentication, you don't need to change anything in your RxDBDotNet setup! The new OIDC support is automatically applied when available.

Just ensure your application is configured to use JWT Bearer authentication with OIDC support:

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddJwtBearer(options =>
    {
        options.Authority = "https://your-oidc-provider.com";
        options.Audience = "your-api-audience";
        // Other JWT options...
    });

📚 Documentation

We've updated our documentation to include information about this new feature. For more details, check out the "OpenID Connect (OIDC) Support for Subscription Authentication" section in our README.

🚀 Upgrading

To take advantage of this new feature, upgrade to v1.1.2:
