How to Use the Well-Known URL

The URL returns a JSON listing of the OpenID/OAuth endpoints, supported scopes and claims, public keys used to sign the tokens, and other details. The clients can use this information to construct a request to the OpenID server.

The Authorization endpoint is shown below. In this example, the Identifier for the Relying Party Trust is Z-Test-Trust. The authorization_endpoint:

"https://pttproadfs.pttpro.zebra.com/adfs/oauth2/authorize/"

becomes

https://pttproadfs.pttpro.zebra.com/adfs/oauth2/authorize?resource=Z-Test-Trust

. Pasting this URL in a browser reveals helpful discovery information.

This information is provided here as an introduction to the Well-Known URL which is helpful in establishing the server connections to ADFS.

More information about using the Well-Known URL is provided in the validation section.
