+## 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.

+### 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).

+# 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.
