+  Middleware adding OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication to Traefik routes.
+
+  This middleware replaces the need for forward-auth and oauth2-proxy when using Traefik as a reverse proxy.
+  It provides a complete OIDC authentication solution with features like domain restrictions,
+  role-based access control, token caching, and more.
+
+  The middleware has been tested with Auth0, Logto, Google, and other standard OIDC providers.
+  It supports various authentication scenarios including:
+
+  - Basic authentication with customizable callback and logout URLs
+  - Email domain restrictions to limit access to specific organizations
+  - Role and group-based access control
+  - Public URLs that bypass authentication
+  - Rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks
+  - Custom post-logout redirect behavior
+  - Secure session management with encrypted cookies
+  - Automatic token validation and refresh

-Middleware has been tested with Auth0 and Logto.
+## Overview
 
-### Traefik version compatibility
+The Traefik OIDC middleware provides a complete OIDC authentication solution with features like:
+- Token validation and verification
+- Session management
+- Domain restrictions
+- Role-based access control
+- Token caching and blacklisting
+- Rate limiting
+- Excluded paths (public URLs)
 
-Code follows closely the current traefik helm chart versions. If plugin fails to load - it's time to update to the latest version of the traefik helm chart.
+The middleware has been tested with Auth0 and Logto, but should work with any standard OIDC provider.
 
-### Configuration options
+## Traefik Version Compatibility
 
-Middleware currently supports following scenarios:
+This middleware follows closely the current Traefik helm chart versions. If the plugin fails to load, it's time to update to the latest version of the Traefik helm chart.
 
-* Setting custom callback and logout URLs via `callbackURL` and `logoutURL`
-* Allowing for access only from the listed domains if `allowedUserDomains` is set, otherwise it relies entirely on the OIDC provider
-* Using excluded URLs which do **NOT** require the OIDC authentication
-* Rate limiting requests to prevent the bruteforce attacks
+## Installation
 
-#### How to configure...
+### As a Traefik Plugin
 
-##### Keeping secrets secret
-
-This works ONLY in kubernetes environments. Don't forget to create secret traefik-middleware-oidc with fields ISSUER, CLIENT_ID and SECRET keys.
+1. Enable the plugin in your Traefik static configuration:
 
+```yaml
+# traefik.yml
+experimental:
+  plugins:
+    traefikoidc:
+      moduleName: github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc
+      version: v0.2.1  # Use the latest version
 ```
+
+2. Configure the middleware in your dynamic configuration (see examples below).
+
+### Local Development with Docker Compose
+
+For local development or testing, you can use the provided Docker Compose setup:
+
+```bash
+cd docker
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+This will start Traefik with the OIDC middleware and two test services.

+
+### Keeping Secrets Secret in Kubernetes
+
+For Kubernetes environments, you can reference secrets instead of hardcoding sensitive values:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware

       clientID: urn:k8s:secret:traefik-middleware-oidc:CLIENT_ID
       clientSecret: urn:k8s:secret:traefik-middleware-oidc:SECRET
-      sessionEncryptionKey: vvv
-      callbackURL: /cool-oidc/callback
-      logoutURL: /cool-oidc/logout
-      postLogoutRedirectURI: /my-website/you-have-logged-out # Optional post logout URL redirection
+      sessionEncryptionKey: potato-secret-is-at-least-32-bytes-long
+      callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+      logoutURL: /oauth2/logout
       scopes:
         - openid
         - email
         - profile
-      excludedURLs: # Determines the list of URLs which are NOT a subject to authentication
-        - /login # covers /login, /login/me, /login/reminder etc.
-        - /my-public-data
 ```
 
-##### Excluded URLs with open access
+Don't forget to create the secret:
 
-```
-apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
-kind: Middleware
-metadata:
-  name: oidc-with-open-urls
-  namespace: traefik
-spec:
-  plugin:
-    traefikoidc:
-      providerURL: xxx
-      clientID: yyy
-      clientSecret: zzz
-      sessionEncryptionKey: vvv
-      callbackURL: /cool-oidc/callback
-      logoutURL: /cool-oidc/logout
-      scopes:
-        - openid
-        - email
-        - profile
-      excludedURLs: # Determines the list of URLs which are NOT a subject to authentication
-        - /login # covers /login, /login/me, /login/reminder etc.
-        - /my-public-data
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic traefik-middleware-oidc \

+  --from-literal=CLIENT_ID=1234567890.apps.googleusercontent.com \
+  --from-literal=SECRET=your-client-secret \
+  -n traefik
 ```
 
+## Complete Docker Compose Example
 
-##### Allowed email domains
-
-Assuming that your OIDC provider allows anyone to log in, you may want to limit the access to people using emains in specific domain.
-
-```
-apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
-kind: Middleware
-metadata:
-  name: oidc-only-my-users
-  namespace: traefik
-spec:
-  plugin:
-    traefikoidc:
-      providerURL: xxx
-      clientID: yyy
-      clientSecret: zzz
-      sessionEncryptionKey: vvv
-      callbackURL: /new-oidc/callback
-      logoutURL: /new-oidc/logout
-      scopes:
-        - openid
-        - email
-        - profile
-      allowedUserDomains:
-        - raczylo.com
-```
-
-
-##### Allowed groups and roles
-
-In case of multiple roles / groups and access separation for various endpoints you will need to create multiple traefik middlewares.
-Following example allows access for users who have additional role `guest-endpoints` assigned.
-
-```
-apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
-kind: Middleware
-metadata:
-  name: oidc-guest-endpoints
-  namespace: traefik
-spec:
-  plugin:
-    traefikoidc:
-      providerURL: xxx
-      clientID: yyy
-      clientSecret: zzz
-      sessionEncryptionKey: vvv
-      callbackURL: /my-oidc/callback
-      logoutURL: /my-oidc/logout
-      scopes:
-        - openid
-        - email
-        - profile
-        - roles     # This line queries the OIDC provider for roles
-      forceHTTPS: true
-      allowedRolesAndGroups:
-        - guest-endpoints  # This line specifies the roles or groups allowed to access content
-      allowedUserDomains:

+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Session Management
+
+The middleware uses encrypted cookies to manage user sessions. The `sessionEncryptionKey` must be at least 32 bytes long and should be kept secret.
+
+### Token Caching and Blacklisting
+
+The middleware automatically caches validated tokens to improve performance and maintains a blacklist of revoked tokens.
+
+### Headers Set for Downstream Services
+
+When a user is authenticated, the middleware sets the following headers for downstream services:
+
+- `X-Forwarded-User`: The user's email address
+- `X-User-Groups`: Comma-separated list of user groups (if available)
+- `X-User-Roles`: Comma-separated list of user roles (if available)
+- `X-Auth-Request-Redirect`: The original request URI
+- `X-Auth-Request-User`: The user's email address
+- `X-Auth-Request-Token`: The user's access token
+
+### Security Headers
+
+The middleware also sets the following security headers:
+
+- `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
+- `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
+- `X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block`
+- `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Logging
+
+Set the `logLevel` to `debug` to get more detailed logs:
+
+```yaml
+logLevel: debug
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Token verification failed**: Check that your `providerURL` is correct and accessible.
+2. **Session encryption key too short**: Ensure your `sessionEncryptionKey` is at least 32 bytes long.
+3. **No matching public key found**: The JWKS endpoint might be unavailable or the token's key ID (kid) doesn't match any key in the JWKS.
+4. **Access denied: Your email domain is not allowed**: The user's email domain is not in the `allowedUserDomains` list.
+5. **Access denied: You do not have any of the allowed roles or groups**: The user doesn't have any of the roles or groups specified in `allowedRolesAndGroups`.
