Resolve issue with opaque tokens not being parsed correctly (#69)

* Remove trailing / from metadata provider.

* Resolves issue #67
    - Before: 100 concurrent requests → 300+ refresh attempts → OOM
    - After: 100 concurrent requests → 1 refresh attempt → Stable memory

Added following changes:
    - Introduced a refresh coordinator to manage concurrent refresh requests
    - Implemented a test to simulate high concurrency and verify memory stability

* Issue #67 fixed.

 The Traefik OIDC middleware provides a complete OIDC authentication solution with features like:
 - Token validation and verification
-- Session management
+- Session management with automatic cleanup
 - Domain restrictions
 - Role-based access control
 - Token caching and blacklisting
 - Rate limiting
 - Excluded paths (public URLs)
+- Memory-efficient operation with bounded resource usage
 
-The middleware has been tested with Auth0 and Logto, but should work with any standard OIDC provider.
+**Important Note on Token Validation:** This middleware performs authentication and claim extraction based on the **ID Token** provided by the OIDC provider. It does not primarily use the Access Token for these purposes (though the Access Token is available for templated headers if needed). Therefore, ensure that all necessary claims (e.g., email, roles, custom attributes) are included in the ID Token by your OIDC provider's configuration.
+
+The middleware has been tested with Auth0, Logto, Google and other standard OIDC providers. It includes special handling for Google's OAuth implementation.
+
+### Performance and Memory Management
+
+This middleware includes advanced memory management features to ensure stable operation under high load:
+- **Bounded caches**: All internal caches (metadata, sessions, tokens) have configurable size limits with LRU eviction
+- **Automatic cleanup**: Background goroutines periodically clean up expired sessions and tokens
+- **Memory monitoring**: Built-in memory leak detection and prevention
+- **Graceful degradation**: Continues operating safely even under memory pressure
+- **Zero goroutine leaks**: All background tasks are properly managed and terminated on shutdown

+## Scope Configuration
+
+### Scope Behavior
+
+The middleware supports two modes for handling OAuth 2.0 scopes, controlled by the `overrideScopes` parameter:
+
+#### Default Append Mode (`overrideScopes: false`)
+
+By default, the middleware uses an **append** behavior for OAuth 2.0 scopes:
+
+- **Default scopes** are always included: `["openid", "profile", "email"]`
+- **User-provided scopes** are appended to the defaults with automatic deduplication
+- The final scope list maintains the order: defaults first, then user scopes
+
+#### Override Mode (`overrideScopes: true`)
+
+When `overrideScopes` is set to `true`, the middleware uses **replacement** behavior:
+
+- Default scopes are **not** automatically included
+- Only the scopes explicitly provided in the `scopes` field are used
+- You must include all required scopes explicitly, including `openid` if needed
+
+### Examples:
+
+**Default behavior (no custom scopes):**
+```yaml
+# No scopes field specified
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "email"]
+```
+
+**Default append behavior:**
+```yaml
+scopes:
+  - roles
+  - custom_scope
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "email", "roles", "custom_scope"]
+```
+
+**Overlapping scopes with append (automatic deduplication):**
+```yaml
+scopes:
+  - openid      # Duplicate - will be deduplicated
+  - roles
+  - profile     # Duplicate - will be deduplicated
+  - permissions
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "email", "roles", "permissions"]
+```
+
+**Using override mode:**
+```yaml
+overrideScopes: true
+scopes:
+  - openid
+  - profile
+  - custom_scope
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "custom_scope"]
+```
+
+**Empty scopes list with default behavior:**
+```yaml
+scopes: []
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "email"]
+```
+
+**Empty scopes list with override mode:**
+```yaml
+overrideScopes: true
+scopes: []
+# Result: [] (Warning: empty scopes may cause authentication to fail)
+```
+
+The default append behavior ensures essential OIDC scopes are always present, while the override mode gives you complete control over the exact scopes requested from the provider.

+### Session Duration and Token Refresh
+
+This middleware aims to provide long-lived user sessions, typically up to 24 hours, by utilizing OIDC refresh tokens.
+
+**How it works:**
+- When a user authenticates, the middleware requests an access token and, if available, a refresh token from the OIDC provider.
+- The access token usually has a short lifespan (e.g., 1 hour).
+- Before the access token expires (controlled by `refreshGracePeriodSeconds`), the middleware uses the refresh token to obtain a new access token from the provider without requiring the user to log in again.
+- This process repeats, allowing the session to remain valid for as long as the refresh token is valid (often 24 hours or more, depending on the provider).
+
+**Provider-Specific Considerations (e.g., Google):**
+- Some providers, like Google, issue short-lived access tokens (e.g., 1 hour) and require specific configurations for long-term sessions.
+- To enable session extension beyond the initial token expiry with Google and similar providers, the middleware automatically includes the `offline_access` scope in the authentication request. This scope is necessary to obtain a refresh token.
+- For Google specifically, the middleware also adds the `prompt=consent` parameter to the initial authorization request. This ensures Google issues a refresh token, which is crucial for extending the session.
+- If a refresh attempt fails (e.g., the refresh token is revoked or expired), the user will be required to re-authenticate. The middleware includes enhanced error handling and logging for these scenarios.
+- Ensure your OIDC provider is configured to issue refresh tokens and allows their use for extending sessions. Check your provider's documentation for details on refresh token validity periods.
+
+### Google OAuth Compatibility Fix
+
+The middleware includes a specific fix for Google's OAuth implementation, which differs from the standard OIDC specification in how it handles refresh tokens:
+
+- **Issue**: Google does not support the standard `offline_access` scope for requesting refresh tokens and instead requires special parameters.
+  
+- **Automatic Solution**: The middleware detects Google as the provider based on the issuer URL and:
+  - Uses `access_type=offline` query parameter instead of the `offline_access` scope
+  - Adds `prompt=consent` to ensure refresh tokens are consistently issued
+  - Properly handles token refresh with Google's implementation
+
+You do not need any special configuration to use Google OAuth - just set `providerURL` to `https://accounts.google.com` and the middleware will automatically apply the proper parameters.
+
+For detailed information on the Google OAuth fix, see the [dedicated documentation](docs/google-oauth-fix.md).
+
 ### Token Caching and Blacklisting
 
 The middleware automatically caches validated tokens to improve performance and maintains a blacklist of revoked tokens.
+### Templated Headers
+
+The middleware supports setting custom HTTP headers with values templated from OIDC claims and tokens. This allows you to pass authentication information to downstream services in a flexible, customized format.
+
+Templates can access the following variables:
+- `{{.Claims.field}}` - Access individual claims from the ID token (e.g., `{{.Claims.email}}`, `{{.Claims.sub}}`)
+- `{{.AccessToken}}` - The raw access token string
+- `{{.IdToken}}` - The raw ID token string (same as AccessToken in most configurations)
+- `{{.RefreshToken}}` - The raw refresh token string
+
+**⚠️ Important: Template Escaping**
+
+If you encounter the error `can't evaluate field AccessToken in type bool` when starting Traefik, this indicates that Traefik is attempting to evaluate the template expressions before passing them to the plugin. This is a known issue when using template syntax in Traefik plugin configurations.
+
+**Solution:** You must escape the template expressions using double curly braces:
+
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "Authorization"
+    value: "Bearer {{{{.AccessToken}}}}"
+```
+
+This is the only reliable method that works consistently. Here's why:
+
+- **Double curly braces (`{{{{.AccessToken}}}}`)** ✅
+  - The YAML parser converts `{{{{` → `{{` and `}}}}` → `}}`
+  - Result: `Bearer {{.AccessToken}}` reaches the Go template engine correctly
+
+- **Other methods (YAML literal style, single quotes) do NOT work** ❌
+  - These methods don't prevent Traefik's YAML parser from interpreting the curly braces
+  - The template syntax gets processed incorrectly before reaching the plugin
+
+**Working example configuration:**
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-User-Email"
+    value: "{{{{.Claims.email}}}}"
+  - name: "X-User-ID"
+    value: "{{{{.Claims.sub}}}}"
+  - name: "Authorization"
+    value: "Bearer {{{{.AccessToken}}}}"
+  - name: "X-User-Name"
+    value: "{{{{.Claims.given_name}}}} {{{{.Claims.family_name}}}}"
+```
+
+**Advanced template examples:**
+
+Conditional logic:
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-Is-Admin"
+    value: "{{{{if eq .Claims.role \"admin\"}}}}true{{{{else}}}}false{{{{end}}}}"
+```
+
+Array handling:
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-User-Roles"
+    value: "{{{{range $i, $e := .Claims.roles}}}}{{{{if $i}}}},{{{{end}}}}{{{{$e}}}}{{{{end}}}}"
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Variable names are case-sensitive (use `.Claims`, not `.claims`)
+- Missing claims will result in `<no value>` in the header value
+- The middleware validates templates during startup and logs errors for invalid templates
+- Always use double curly braces (`{{{{` and `}}}}`) to escape template expressions in YAML configuration files

+## Provider Configuration Recommendations
+
+**Important: ID Token Validation**
+
+This Traefik OIDC plugin performs authentication and extracts user claims (like email, roles, groups) exclusively from the **ID Token** provided by your OIDC provider. It does not primarily use the Access Token for these critical functions. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that all necessary claims are included in the ID Token itself. A common issue is that some OIDC providers might, by default, place certain claims only in the Access Token or UserInfo endpoint.
+
+This section provides guidance on configuring popular OIDC providers to work optimally with this plugin.
+
+### Keycloak
+
+Keycloak is highly configurable, which means you need to ensure your client mappers are set up correctly to include necessary claims in the ID Token.
+
+*   **Ensure Claims in ID Token**:
+    *   **Email**: Navigate to your Keycloak realm -> Clients -> Your Client ID -> Mappers. Ensure there's a mapper for 'email' (e.g., a "User Property" mapper for the `email` property) and that "Add to ID token" is **ON**.
+    *   **Roles**: For client roles or realm roles, create or edit mappers (e.g., "User Client Role" or "User Realm Role"). Ensure "Add to ID token" is **ON**. You might want to customize the "Token Claim Name" (e.g., to `roles` or `groups`).
+    *   **Groups**: Similarly, for group membership, use a "Group Membership" mapper and ensure "Add to ID token" is **ON**. Customize the "Token Claim Name" as needed (e.g., `groups`).
+*   **Scopes**: Ensure your client requests appropriate scopes that trigger the inclusion of these claims if your mappers are scope-dependent. The default `openid`, `profile`, `email` scopes are a good starting point.
+*   **Troubleshooting**: If claims are missing, double-check the "Mappers" tab for your client in Keycloak. The "Token Claim Name" you define here is what you'll use in the `allowedRolesAndGroups` or `headers` configuration in this plugin. (See also the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section for Keycloak).
+
+### Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID)
+
+Azure AD generally works well with standard OIDC configurations.
+
+*   **ID Token Claims**: Azure AD typically includes standard claims like `email`, `name`, `preferred_username`, and `oid` (Object ID) in the ID Token by default when `openid profile email` scopes are requested.
+*   **Group Claims**: To include group claims in the ID Token, you need to configure this in the Azure AD application registration:
+    *   Go to your App Registration -> Token configuration -> Add groups claim.
+    *   You can choose which types of groups (Security groups, Directory roles, All groups) to include.
+    *   Be aware of the "overage" issue: If a user is a member of too many groups, Azure AD will send a link to fetch groups instead of embedding them. This plugin currently expects group claims to be directly in the ID token. For users with many groups, consider alternative role/permission management strategies.
+    *   The claim name for groups is typically `groups`.
+*   **Optional Claims**: You can add other optional claims via the "Token configuration" section of your App Registration. Ensure these are configured for the ID token.
+*   **Endpoints**: The `providerURL` should be `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{your-tenant-id}/v2.0`. The plugin will auto-discover the necessary endpoints.
+*   **Optimization**: Ensure your application manifest in Azure AD is configured for the desired token version (v1.0 or v2.0). This plugin works with v2.0 endpoints.
+
+### Google Workspace / Google Cloud Identity
+
+Google's OIDC implementation is well-supported.
+
+*   **Optimal Configuration**: The plugin automatically handles Google-specific requirements, such as using `access_type=offline` and `prompt=consent` to ensure refresh tokens are issued for long-lived sessions. You do not need to add `offline_access` to scopes.
+*   **ID Token Claims**: Google includes standard claims like `email`, `sub`, `name`, `given_name`, `family_name`, `picture` in the ID Token by default with `openid profile email` scopes.
+*   **Hosted Domain (hd claim)**: If you are using Google Workspace and want to restrict access to users within your organization's domain, Google includes an `hd` (hosted domain) claim in the ID Token. You can use this with the `allowedUserDomains` setting or for custom header logic.
+*   **Best Practices**:
+    *   Use the `providerURL`: `https://accounts.google.com`.
+    *   Ensure your OAuth consent screen in Google Cloud Console is configured correctly and published. For production, it should be "External" and in "Production" status. "Testing" status limits refresh token lifetime.
+    *   Refer to the [Google OAuth Compatibility Fix](#google-oauth-compatibility-fix) section for more details on how the plugin handles Google's specifics.
+
+### Auth0
+
+Auth0 is generally OIDC compliant and works well.
+
+*   **ID Token Claims**:
+    *   To add custom claims or standard claims not included by default (like roles or permissions) to the ID Token, you'll need to use Auth0 Rules or Actions.
+    *   **Using Actions (Recommended)**: Create a custom Action that runs after login to add claims to the ID Token. Example:
+        ```javascript
+        // Auth0 Action to add email and roles to ID Token
+        exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
+          const namespace = 'https://your-app.com/'; // Or your custom namespace
+          if (event.authorization) {
+            api.idToken.setCustomClaim(namespace + 'roles', event.authorization.roles);
+            api.idToken.setCustomClaim('email', event.user.email); // Standard claim, ensure it's there
+            // Add other claims as needed
+          }
+        };
+        ```
+    *   Ensure the claims you add (e.g., `https://your-app.com/roles`) are then used in the plugin's `allowedRolesAndGroups` or `headers` configuration.
+*   **Scopes**: Request appropriate scopes. You might need custom scopes if your Actions/Rules depend on them to add specific claims.
+*   **Endpoints**: Your `providerURL` will be `https://your-auth0-domain.auth0.com`.
+*   **Logout**: Ensure `postLogoutRedirectURI` is registered in your Auth0 application settings under "Allowed Logout URLs".
+
+### Generic OIDC Providers
+
+For other OIDC providers (e.g., Okta, Zitadel, self-hosted solutions):
+
+*   **ID Token is Key**: The primary requirement is that all claims needed for authentication decisions (email, roles, groups, custom attributes for headers) **must** be included in the ID Token.
+*   **Check Provider Documentation**: Consult your OIDC provider's documentation on how to:
+    *   Configure client applications.
+    *   Map user attributes, roles, or group memberships to claims in the ID Token.
+    *   Define custom scopes if they are necessary to include certain claims.
+*   **Standard Endpoints**: Ensure your provider exposes a standard OIDC discovery document (`.well-known/openid-configuration`) at the `providerURL`. The plugin uses this to find authorization, token, JWKS, and end_session endpoints.
+*   **Scopes**: Always include `openid` in your scopes. `profile` and `email` are generally recommended. Add other scopes as required by your provider to release specific claims to the ID Token.
+*   **Troubleshooting**: If the plugin isn't working as expected (e.g., access denied, claims missing), the first step is to decode the ID Token received from your provider (e.g., using jwt.io) to verify its contents. This will show you exactly what claims the plugin is seeing.
+
+For common issues and general troubleshooting, please refer to the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section.

+# 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
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-google
+  namespace: traefik
+spec:
+  plugin:
+    traefikoidc:
+      providerURL: https://accounts.google.com
+      clientID: your-google-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
+      clientSecret: your-google-client-secret
+      sessionEncryptionKey: your-secure-encryption-key-min-32-chars
+      callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+      scopes:
+        - 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.
