## Build and configure OpenID Connect module for Auth0
First, get the module:
```bash
cd nginx
git clone https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-openid-connect
cd nginx-openid-connect
```
Then run the configure script to set OAuth parameters for `openid_connect_configuration.conf`
```bash
./configure.sh --auth_jwt_key request \
--client_id \
--pkce_enable \
https:///.well-known/openid-configuration
cp openid_connect_configuration.conf ../configs
cd ../..
```
## Build NGINX+ image
This is required for now until docker-compose supports build secrets (just recently added in [this PR](https://github.com/docker/compose/pull/9386))
```
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build \
--no-cache \
--secret id=nginx-key,src=nginx/nginx-repo.key \
--secret id=nginx-crt,src=nginx/nginx-repo.crt \
-t nginxplus -f nginx/Dockerfile.plus ./nginx
```
## Configuring Auth0 Settings
In your application settings add a new "Allowed Callback URLs" that is equal to https://server-fqdn/_codexch. (I used http://localhost:80/_codexch in my dev install)
Then, change "Token Endpoint Authentication Method" to "None" in Auth0 for your Application. This is required for PKCE authorisation code flow.
## Run compose stack
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
## Build and Install XAR
