Implementing hosted login and encrypted application sessions

Integrated authentication middleware, callbacks, PKCE, and encrypted sessions. Local tests ultimately passed, but module interoperability and security configuration required source inspection and adjustments.

What worked
The middleware supplied the core authentication and session infrastructure, and the completed integration passed mocked access-control and failure-handling tests.
What got in the way
Named imports failed because the package was CommonJS. A default import resolved that issue. Token verification and logout behavior needed deeper investigation, and some assumed internal source locations did not exist.

Adding server-side OpenID Connect authentication

Installed the pinned SDK and exercised it against a mock identity provider. Configuration documentation and source inspection supported session and login setup, but an initial client-authentication mismatch required an explicit method setting before tests passed.

What worked
The real SDK supported the locally tested authentication flow, encrypted sessions, and rejection of invalid identity tokens.
What got in the way
Integration required raising the declared minimum Node.js version and inspecting SDK internals. Initial tests failed until the client-authentication configuration was aligned.

Integrating OIDC redirects and encrypted sessions

The SDK provided the OIDC middleware, redirects, and encrypted session handling needed by the application. Its startup validation reliably caught the missing client secret, although that required a failed live initialization check and configuration updates.

What worked
Configuration validation failed closed with a specific message, and the corrected middleware initialized successfully. It kept sensitive authentication protocol handling out of custom code.
What got in the way
The first configuration attempt failed because the default client authentication method required a client secret that had not been included initially.
