 summary: |
-  Middleware adding OIDC authentication to traefik routes. Does what it says on the tin.
-  Middleware has been tested with Auth0 and Logto. It should work with any OIDC provider.
+  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 includes special handling for Google's OAuth implementation to ensure compatibility.
+  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

+# --- Provider Specific Configuration Examples ---
+#
+# Below are example configurations tailored for specific OIDC providers.
+# Uncomment and adapt the relevant section for your provider.
+# Remember to replace placeholder values (like client IDs, secrets, domains)
+# with your actual credentials and settings.
+#
+# For all providers, ensure claims like email, roles, and groups are
+# configured to be included in the ID TOKEN. This plugin validates ID tokens.
+
+# --- Keycloak Example ---
+# testDataKeycloak:
+#   providerURL: https://your-keycloak-domain/realms/your-realm # e.g., http://localhost:8080/realms/master
+#   clientID: your-keycloak-client-id
+#   clientSecret: your-keycloak-client-secret # Store securely, e.g., urn:k8s:secret:namespace:secret-name:key
+#   callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+#   sessionEncryptionKey: "a-very-secure-key-at-least-32-bytes-long-for-keycloak"
+#   scopes: # Default ["openid", "profile", "email"] are usually sufficient. Add others if mappers depend on them.
+#     - roles # Example: if you mapped Keycloak roles to a 'roles' claim in the ID token
+#     - groups # Example: if you mapped Keycloak groups to a 'groups' claim in the ID token
+#   allowedRolesAndGroups: # Corresponds to 'Token Claim Name' in Keycloak mappers
+#     - admin
+#     - editor
+#   # Ensure Keycloak client mappers add 'email', 'roles', 'groups' etc. to the ID Token.
+#   # See README.md "Provider Configuration Recommendations" for Keycloak.
+
+# --- Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) Example ---
+# testDataAzureAD:
+#   providerURL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/your-tenant-id/v2.0 # Replace your-tenant-id
+#   clientID: your-azure-ad-client-id
+#   clientSecret: your-azure-ad-client-secret # Store securely
+#   callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+#   sessionEncryptionKey: "a-very-secure-key-at-least-32-bytes-long-for-azure"
+#   scopes: # Defaults ["openid", "profile", "email"] are good.
+#     # Azure AD may require specific scopes for certain graph API permissions if you were to use the access token,
+#     # but for ID token claims, defaults are often enough.
+#     # Group claims need to be configured in Azure AD App Registration -> Token Configuration -> Add groups claim.
+#   allowedUserDomains:
+#     - yourcompany.com
+#   allowedRolesAndGroups: # If you configured group claims (typically 'groups') or app roles in Azure AD
+#     - "group-object-id-1" # Azure AD group claims can be Object IDs by default
+#     - "AppRoleName"
+#   # See README.md "Provider Configuration Recommendations" for Azure AD.
+
+# --- Google Workspace / Google Cloud Identity Example ---
+# testDataGoogle:
+#   providerURL: https://accounts.google.com # This is standard for Google
+#   clientID: your-google-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
+#   clientSecret: your-google-client-secret # Store securely
+#   callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+#   sessionEncryptionKey: "a-very-secure-key-at-least-32-bytes-long-for-google"
+#   scopes: # Defaults ["openid", "profile", "email"] are handled. Plugin manages Google-specifics.
+#     # Do NOT add 'offline_access' - plugin handles this.
+#   allowedUserDomains: # Useful for Google Workspace users
+#     - your-gsuite-domain.com
+#   # Google includes 'hd' (hosted domain) claim which can be used with allowedUserDomains.
+#   # Other claims like 'email', 'sub', 'name' are standard.
+#   # See README.md "Provider Configuration Recommendations" for Google.
+
+# --- Auth0 Example ---
+# testDataAuth0:
+#   providerURL: https://your-auth0-domain.auth0.com # Replace with your Auth0 domain
+#   clientID: your-auth0-client-id
+#   clientSecret: your-auth0-client-secret # Store securely
+#   callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+#   sessionEncryptionKey: "a-very-secure-key-at-least-32-bytes-long-for-auth0"
+#   scopes: # Defaults ["openid", "profile", "email"]. Add custom scopes if your Auth0 Rules/Actions require them.
+#     - read:custom_data # Example custom scope
+#   allowedRolesAndGroups: # Based on claims added via Auth0 Rules or Actions (e.g. namespaced claims)
+#     - "https://your-app.com/roles:admin"
+#     - editor
+#   # Use Auth0 Rules or Actions to add custom claims (roles, permissions) to the ID Token.
+#   # Ensure postLogoutRedirectURI is in Auth0 app's "Allowed Logout URLs".
+#   # See README.md "Provider Configuration Recommendations" for Auth0.
+
+# --- Generic OIDC Provider Example ---
+# testDataGenericOIDC:
+#   providerURL: https://your-generic-oidc-provider.com/oidc # Issuer URL for your provider
+#   clientID: your-generic-client-id
+#   clientSecret: your-generic-client-secret # Store securely
+#   callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+#   sessionEncryptionKey: "a-very-secure-key-at-least-32-bytes-long-for-generic"
+#   scopes: # Must include "openid". "profile" and "email" are common.
+#     - openid
+#     - profile
+#     - email
+#     - custom_scope_for_claims # If your provider needs specific scopes for ID token claims
+#   allowedRolesAndGroups:
+#     - user_role_from_id_token
+#   # Consult your provider's documentation on how to map attributes/roles/groups to ID Token claims.
+#   # Verify ID Token contents (e.g. jwt.io) to see available claims.
+#   # See README.md "Provider Configuration Recommendations" for Generic OIDC.

+    required: true
+
+  clientSecret:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      The OAuth 2.0 client secret obtained from your OIDC provider.
+      This should be kept confidential and not exposed in client-side code.
+
+      For Kubernetes deployments, you can use the secret reference format:
+      urn:k8s:secret:namespace:secret-name:key
+    required: true
+
+  callbackURL:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      The path where the OIDC provider will redirect after authentication.
+      This must match one of the redirect URIs configured in your OIDC provider.
+
+      The full redirect URI will be constructed as: 
+      [scheme]://[host][callbackURL]
+
+      Example: /oauth2/callback
+    required: true
+
+  sessionEncryptionKey:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      Key used to encrypt session data stored in cookies.
+      Must be at least 32 bytes long for security.
+
+      Example: potato-secret-is-at-least-32-bytes-long
+    required: true
+
+  logoutURL:

+    required: false
+
+  postLogoutRedirectURI:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      The URL to redirect to after logout.
+      Default: "/"
+
+      Example: /logged-out-page
+    required: false
+
+  scopes:
+    type: array
+    description: |
+      Additional OAuth 2.0 scopes to append to the default scopes.
+      Default scopes are always included: ["openid", "profile", "email"]
+      
+      User-provided scopes are appended to defaults with automatic deduplication.
+      For example, specifying ["roles", "custom_scope"] results in:
+      ["openid", "profile", "email", "roles", "custom_scope"]
+
+      Include "roles" or similar scope if you need role/group information.
+      Note: For Google OAuth, the middleware automatically handles the
+      proper authentication parameters and does NOT require the "offline_access"
+      scope (which Google rejects as invalid). See documentation for details.
+    required: false
+    items:
+      type: string
+
+  logLevel:

+
+  forceHTTPS:

+      Forces the use of HTTPS for all URLs.
+      This is recommended for security in production environments.
+      Default: true
+    required: false
+
+  rateLimit:
+    type: integer
+    description: |
+      Sets the maximum number of requests per second.
+      This helps prevent brute force attacks.
+      Default: 100
+      Minimum: 10
+    required: false
+
+  excludedURLs:
+    type: array
+    description: |
+      Lists paths that bypass authentication.
+      These paths will be accessible without OIDC authentication.
+
+      The middleware uses prefix matching, so "/public" will match
+      "/public", "/public/page", "/public-data", etc.
+
+      Examples: ["/health", "/metrics", "/public"]
+    required: false
+    items:
+      type: string
+
+  allowedUserDomains:
+    type: array
+    description: |
+      Restricts access to users with email addresses from specific domains.
+      If not provided, the middleware relies entirely on the OIDC provider
+      for authentication decisions.
+
+      Examples: ["company.com", "subsidiary.com"]
+    required: false
+    items:
+      type: string
+
+  allowedUsers:
+    type: array
+    description: |
+      Restricts access to specific email addresses.
+      If provided, only users with these exact email addresses will be allowed access,
+      in addition to any domain-level restrictions set by allowedUserDomains.
+      
+      This provides fine-grained control over individual access and can be used
+      together with allowedUserDomains for flexible access control strategies.
+
+      Examples: ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]
+    required: false
+    items:
+      type: string
+
+  allowedRolesAndGroups:
+    type: array
+    description: |
+      Restricts access to users with specific roles or groups.
+      If not provided, no role/group restrictions are applied.
+
+      The middleware checks both the "roles" and "groups" claims in the ID token.
+
+      Examples: ["admin", "developer"]
+    required: false
+    items:
+      type: string
+
+  revocationURL:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      The endpoint for revoking tokens.
+      If not provided, it will be discovered from provider metadata.
+
+      Example: https://accounts.google.com/revoke
+    required: false
+
+  oidcEndSessionURL:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      The provider's end session endpoint.
+      If not provided, it will be discovered from provider metadata.
+
+      Example: https://accounts.google.com/logout
+    required: false
+
+  enablePKCE:
+    type: boolean
+    description: |
+      Enables PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) for the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow.
+      PKCE adds an extra layer of security to protect against authorization code interception attacks.
+
+      Not all OIDC providers support PKCE, so this should only be enabled if your provider supports it.
+      If enabled, the middleware will generate and use a code verifier/challenge pair during authentication.
+
+      Default: false
+    required: false
+
+  cookieDomain:
+    type: string
+    description: |
+      Explicit domain for session cookies. This is important for multi-subdomain setups 
+      and reverse proxy deployments to ensure consistent cookie handling.
+      
+      When set, all session cookies will use this domain. When not set, the domain
+      is auto-detected from the request headers (X-Forwarded-Host or Host).
+      
+      Use a leading dot for subdomain-wide cookies (e.g., ".example.com" allows
+      cookies to be shared between app.example.com, api.example.com, etc.).
+      
+      Use a specific domain for host-only cookies (e.g., "app.example.com" restricts
+      cookies to that exact domain).
+      
+      This setting is crucial to prevent authentication issues like "CSRF token missing
+      in session" errors that can occur when cookies are created with inconsistent domains.
+      
+      Examples:
+      - ".example.com" - Allows all subdomains to share cookies
+      - "app.example.com" - Restricts cookies to this specific host
+      
+      Default: "" (auto-detected from request headers)
+    required: false
+
+  overrideScopes:
+    type: boolean
+    description: |
+      When set to true, the scopes you provide will completely replace the default scopes
+      (openid, profile, email) instead of being appended to them.
+      
+      This is useful when you need precise control over the scopes sent to the OIDC provider,
+      such as when a provider requires specific scopes or when you want to minimize the
+      requested permissions.
+      
+      Default: false (appends user scopes to defaults)
+    required: false
+
+  refreshGracePeriodSeconds:
+    type: integer
+    description: |
+      The number of seconds before a token expires to attempt proactive refresh.
+      
+      When a request is made and the access token will expire within this grace period,
+      the middleware will attempt to refresh the token proactively. This helps prevent
+      authentication interruptions for active users.
+      
+      Setting this to 0 disables proactive refresh (tokens are only refreshed after expiry).
+      
+      Default: 60 (1 minute before expiry)
+    required: false
+
+  headers:
+    type: array
+    description: |
+      Custom HTTP headers to set with templated values derived from OIDC claims and tokens.
+      Each header has a name and a value template that can access:
+      - {{.Claims.field}} - Access ID token claims (e.g., email, sub, name)
+      - {{.AccessToken}} - The raw access token string
+      - {{.IdToken}} - The raw ID token string
+      - {{.RefreshToken}} - The raw refresh token string
+
+      Templates support Go template syntax including conditionals and iteration.
+      Variable names are case-sensitive - use .Claims not .claims.
+
+      IMPORTANT: Template Escaping
+      If you encounter the error "can't evaluate field AccessToken in type bool" when
+      starting Traefik, this means Traefik is trying to evaluate the template expressions
+      before passing them to the plugin. To fix this, you need to escape the templates
+      using one of these methods:
+
+      1. Use YAML literal style (recommended):
+         headers:
+           - name: "Authorization"
+             value: |
+               Bearer {{.AccessToken}}
+
+      2. Use single quotes:
+         headers:
+           - name: "Authorization"
+             value: 'Bearer {{.AccessToken}}'
+
+      3. For inline double quotes, escape the braces:
+         headers:
+           - name: "Authorization"
+             value: "Bearer {{"{{.AccessToken}}"}}"
+
+      Examples:
+      - name: "X-User-Email", value: "{{.Claims.email}}"
+      - name: "Authorization", value: "Bearer {{.AccessToken}}"
+      - name: "X-User-Roles", value: "{{range $i, $e := .Claims.roles}}{{if $i}},{{end}}{{$e}}{{end}}"
+    required: false
+    items:
+      type: object
+      properties:
+        name:
+          type: string
+          description: The HTTP header name to set
+        value:
+          type: string
+          description: Template string for the header value

+# Test Execution Guide
+
+This guide explains how to run tests efficiently with the new test categorization and optimization system.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Fast Development Testing (Default - Target: < 30 seconds)
+```bash
+# Run quick smoke tests only
+go test ./... 
+
+# Or explicitly run in short mode
+go test ./... -short
+```
+
+### Extended Testing (Target: 2-5 minutes)
+```bash
+# Enable extended tests with more iterations and concurrency
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Or use the flag equivalent (if using test runner that supports it)
+go test ./... -extended
+```
+
+### Long-Running Performance Tests (Target: 5-15 minutes)
+```bash
+# Enable comprehensive performance and stress tests
+RUN_LONG_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Full Stress Testing (Target: 10-30 minutes)
+```bash
+# Enable all stress tests with maximum parameters
+RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+

+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Test Execution Control
+```bash
+# Enable specific test types
+export RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1        # Enable extended tests
+export RUN_LONG_TESTS=1           # Enable long-running tests
+export RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1         # Enable stress tests
+
+# Disable specific features
+export DISABLE_LEAK_DETECTION=1   # Skip memory leak detection
+```
+
+### Parameter Customization
+```bash
+# Customize concurrency limits
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=10    # Override max concurrent operations
+
+# Customize iteration limits
+export TEST_MAX_ITERATIONS=50     # Override max test iterations
+
+# Customize memory thresholds
+export TEST_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB=25.5  # Override memory growth limit (in MB)
+```
+
+## Test-Specific Behavior
+
+### Memory Leak Tests
+- **Quick Mode**: 1-3 iterations, small data sets, strict memory limits
+- **Extended Mode**: 5-10 iterations, medium data sets, relaxed limits
+- **Long Mode**: 50-100 iterations, large data sets, performance focus
+- **Stress Mode**: 100-500 iterations, maximum data sets, stress focus
+
+### Concurrency Tests
+- **Quick Mode**: 2-5 concurrent operations, basic race detection
+- **Extended Mode**: 10-20 concurrent operations, moderate stress
+- **Long Mode**: 20-50 concurrent operations, high contention
+- **Stress Mode**: 50-100+ concurrent operations, maximum stress
+
+### Cache Tests
+- **Quick Mode**: Small caches (50 items), basic operations
+- **Extended Mode**: Medium caches (200 items), varied operations
+- **Long Mode**: Large caches (1000 items), performance testing
+- **Stress Mode**: Very large caches (2000+ items), stress testing
+
+## Integration with CI/CD
+
+### GitHub Actions Example
+```yaml
+# Quick tests for every push/PR
+- name: Quick Tests
+  run: go test ./... -short
+
+# Extended tests for main branch
+- name: Extended Tests
+  if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
+  run: RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Nightly comprehensive testing
+- name: Nightly Stress Tests
+  if: github.event_name == 'schedule'
+  run: RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Local Development Workflow
+```bash
+# During active development
+go test ./... -short
+
+# Before committing
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Before major releases
+RUN_LONG_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Performance validation
+RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization Features
+
+### Dynamic Test Scaling
+The test system automatically adjusts parameters based on:
+- Test mode (quick/extended/long/stress)
+- Available resources
+- Environment variables
+- Previous test performance
+
+### Memory Management
+- **Garbage Collection**: Forced GC between test iterations
+- **Memory Monitoring**: Real-time memory growth tracking
+- **Leak Detection**: Goroutine and memory leak prevention
+- **Resource Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup of test resources
+
+### Timeout Management
+- **Adaptive Timeouts**: Timeouts scale with test complexity
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Tests adapt to slower environments
+- **Early Termination**: Failed tests terminate quickly
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests Taking Too Long
+```bash
+# Check if running in extended mode accidentally
+echo $RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS $RUN_LONG_TESTS
+
+# Force quick mode
+unset RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS RUN_LONG_TESTS RUN_STRESS_TESTS
+go test ./... -short
+```
+
+### Memory Issues
+```bash
+# Reduce memory limits for constrained environments
+export TEST_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB=5.0
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=2
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Concurrency Issues
+```bash
+# Reduce concurrency for slower systems
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=5
+export TEST_MAX_ITERATIONS=10
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Skip Specific Test Types
+```bash
+# Skip memory leak detection if problematic
+export DISABLE_LEAK_DETECTION=1
+go test ./...
+```
+
+## Benchmarking
+
+### Running Benchmarks
+```bash
+# Quick benchmarks
+go test -bench=. -short
+
+# Extended benchmarks
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test -bench=.
+
+# Memory profiling
+go test -bench=. -memprofile=mem.prof
+go tool pprof mem.prof
+```
+
+### Benchmark Categories
+- **Basic Operations**: Set/Get performance
+- **Concurrency**: Multi-threaded performance
+- **Memory**: Allocation and cleanup performance
+- **Cache**: Eviction and cleanup performance
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### For Developers
+1. Always run quick tests during development (`go test ./... -short`)
+2. Run extended tests before committing (`RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...`)
+3. Use appropriate test categories for your use case
+4. Monitor test execution time and adjust if needed
+
+### For CI/CD
+1. Use quick tests for fast feedback on PRs
+2. Use extended tests for main branch validation
+3. Use long tests for release validation
+4. Use stress tests for nightly/weekly validation
+
+### For Performance Testing
+1. Use consistent environment variables
+2. Run tests multiple times for statistical significance
+3. Monitor both execution time and resource usage
+4. Use profiling tools for detailed analysis
+
+## Examples
+
+### Daily Development
+```bash
+# Fast tests while coding
+go test ./... -short
+
+# Before git commit
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Release Testing
+```bash
+# Comprehensive validation
+RUN_LONG_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+
+# Stress testing
+RUN_STRESS_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+```bash
+# Custom limits for specific environment
+export TEST_MAX_CONCURRENCY=8
+export TEST_MAX_ITERATIONS=25
+export TEST_MEMORY_THRESHOLD_MB=15.0
+RUN_EXTENDED_TESTS=1 go test ./...
+```
+
+This test system provides flexible, scalable test execution that adapts to your development workflow and infrastructure constraints while maintaining comprehensive test coverage.

+# Google OAuth Integration Fix
+
+## Problem Overview
+
+The Traefik OIDC plugin encountered an authentication issue when using Google as an OAuth provider. Authentication would fail with the following error:
+
+```
+Some requested scopes were invalid. {valid=[openid, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile], invalid=[offline_access]}
+```
+
+This occurred because Google's OAuth implementation differs from the standard OIDC specification in how it handles refresh tokens and offline access.
+
+## Technical Details of the Issue
+
+### Standard OIDC Provider Behavior
+
+Most OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers follow the standard specification, where:
+- To obtain a refresh token, clients include the `offline_access` scope in their authorization request
+- This allows authenticated sessions to persist beyond the initial access token expiration
+
+### Google's Non-Standard Approach
+
+Google's OAuth implementation deviates from the standard by:
+1. Not supporting the `offline_access` scope, instead rejecting it as an invalid scope
+2. Requiring the `access_type=offline` query parameter for requesting refresh tokens
+3. Needing the `prompt=consent` parameter to consistently issue refresh tokens (especially for repeat authentications)
+
+This difference caused the plugin to fail when configured for Google OAuth, as it was using a standard approach that didn't work with Google's implementation.
+
+## Solution Implementation
+
+The fix involved modifying the authentication flow to specifically handle Google providers:
+
+1. **Google Provider Detection**: Added code to detect if the OIDC provider is Google based on the issuer URL:
+
+```go
+// Check if we're dealing with a Google OIDC provider
+isGoogleProvider := strings.Contains(t.issuerURL, "google") || 
+                   strings.Contains(t.issuerURL, "accounts.google.com")
+```
+
+2. **Provider-Specific Auth URL Building**: Modified the `buildAuthURL` function to handle Google and non-Google providers differently:
+
+```go
+// Handle offline access differently for Google vs other providers
+if isGoogleProvider {
+    // For Google, use access_type=offline parameter instead of offline_access scope
+    params.Set("access_type", "offline")
+    t.logger.Debug("Google OIDC provider detected, added access_type=offline for refresh tokens")
+
+    // Add prompt=consent for Google to ensure refresh token is issued
+    params.Set("prompt", "consent")
+    t.logger.Debug("Google OIDC provider detected, added prompt=consent to ensure refresh tokens")
+} else {
+    // For non-Google providers, use the offline_access scope
+    hasOfflineAccess := false
+    for _, scope := range scopes {
+        if scope == "offline_access" {
+            hasOfflineAccess = true
+            break
+        }
+    }
+
+    if !hasOfflineAccess {
+        scopes = append(scopes, "offline_access")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+3. **Token Refresh Enhancement**: Improved the token refresh logic to better handle Google's behavior, particularly when refresh tokens aren't returned in refresh responses (as Google often uses the same refresh token for multiple requests).
+
+## Why This Approach Works
+
+This solution aligns with Google's OAuth 2.0 documentation which specifies:
+
+1. **Access Type Parameter**: Google's [OAuth 2.0 documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#offline) states that to request a refresh token, applications must include `access_type=offline` in the authorization request.
+
+2. **Prompt Parameter**: The [`prompt=consent`](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#forceapprovalprompt) parameter forces the consent screen to appear, ensuring a refresh token is issued even if the user has previously granted access.
+
+3. **Scope Validation**: Google strictly validates scopes and rejects non-standard ones like `offline_access`, instead relying on the `access_type` parameter to indicate whether a refresh token should be issued.
+
+By adapting to these Google-specific requirements, the OIDC plugin can now seamlessly work with both standard OIDC providers and Google's OAuth implementation.
+
+## Testing and Verification
+
+Comprehensive tests were implemented to verify the solution:
+
+1. **Provider Detection Test**: Ensures the code correctly identifies Google providers and applies the appropriate parameters.
+
+2. **Auth URL Parameter Tests**: Verifies that:
+   - For Google providers: `access_type=offline` and `prompt=consent` are included; `offline_access` scope is NOT included
+   - For non-Google providers: `offline_access` scope IS included; `access_type` parameter is NOT added
+
+3. **Token Refresh Tests**: Validates that Google's token refresh process works correctly, including the preservation of refresh tokens when Google doesn't return a new one.
+
+4. **Integration Test**: Tests the complete authentication flow with a mocked Google provider to ensure all components work together seamlessly.
+
+Sample test case (simplified):
+
+```go
+t.Run("Google provider detection adds required parameters", func(t *testing.T) {
+    // Test buildAuthURL to ensure it adds access_type=offline and prompt=consent for Google
+    authURL := tOidc.buildAuthURL("https://example.com/callback", "state123", "nonce123", "")
+
+    // Check that access_type=offline was added (not offline_access scope for Google)
+    if !strings.Contains(authURL, "access_type=offline") {
+        t.Errorf("access_type=offline not added to Google auth URL: %s", authURL)
+    }
+
+    // Verify offline_access scope is NOT included for Google providers
+    if strings.Contains(authURL, "offline_access") {
+        t.Errorf("offline_access scope incorrectly added to Google auth URL: %s", authURL)
+    }
+
+    // Check that prompt=consent was added
+    if !strings.Contains(authURL, "prompt=consent") {
+        t.Errorf("prompt=consent not added to Google auth URL: %s", authURL)
+    }
+})
+```
+
+## Usage Guidance for Developers
+
+When configuring the Traefik OIDC middleware for Google:
+
+1. **Provider URL**: Use `https://accounts.google.com` as the `providerURL` value
+
+2. **Client Configuration**: Create OAuth 2.0 credentials in the Google Cloud Console:
+   - Configure the authorized redirect URI to match your `callbackURL` setting
+   - Ensure your OAuth consent screen is properly configured (especially if you want long-lived refresh tokens)
+
+3. **Configuration Example**:
+
+```yaml

+        - openid
+        - email
+        - profile
+        # Note: DO NOT manually add offline_access scope for Google
+        # The middleware handles this automatically and correctly
+```
+
+4. **Troubleshooting**: If sessions still expire prematurely with Google (typically after 1 hour):
+   - Ensure your Google Cloud OAuth consent screen is set to "External" and "Production" mode (not "Testing" mode, which limits refresh token validity)
+   - Review your application logs with `logLevel: debug` to check for refresh token errors
+   - Verify you're using a version of the middleware that includes this fix
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This fix ensures that the Traefik OIDC plugin works seamlessly with Google's OAuth implementation without requiring users to make provider-specific configuration changes. The middleware now intelligently adapts to the provider's requirements, making it more robust and user-friendly while maintaining compatibility with the standard OIDC specification for other providers.
