+
+## Workflows
+
+### PR Validation (`pr-validation.yml`)
+
+A comprehensive validation workflow that runs **all checks in parallel** for maximum speed and thorough testing.
+
+**Triggered on:**
+- Pull requests to `main` branch
+- Pushes to `main` branch
+
+**Parallel Jobs (20+ concurrent checks):**
+
+#### Code Quality
+- **Quick Checks** - Format, go vet, go mod verify
+- **golangci-lint** - Comprehensive linting
+- **Staticcheck** - Static analysis
+
+#### Security
+- **Gosec** - Security vulnerability scanning
+- **Govulncheck** - Go vulnerability database check
+- **CodeQL** - GitHub's code analysis
+
+#### Testing
+- **Race Detector** - Concurrent access bug detection
+- **Coverage** - Test coverage with 75% threshold
+- **Memory Leaks** - Goroutine and memory leak detection
+- **Integration Tests** - Full integration test suite
+- **Regression Tests** - Prevent previously fixed bugs
+- **Security Edge Cases** - Security-specific scenarios
+- **Session Tests** - Session management validation
+- **Token Tests** - Token validation scenarios
+- **CSRF Tests** - CSRF protection validation
+
+#### Provider Testing (Matrix)
+Tests run in parallel for each OIDC provider:
+- Google
+- Azure AD
+- Auth0
+- Okta
+- Keycloak
+- AWS Cognito
+- GitLab
+- GitHub
+- Generic OIDC
+
+#### Performance & Compatibility
+- **Benchmarks** - Performance regression detection
+- **Build Matrix** - linux/darwin × amd64/arm64
+- **Go Versions** - Go 1.23 and 1.24 compatibility
+
+#### Final Validation
+- **All Checks Passed** - Ensures all jobs succeeded
+
+## Workflow Features
+
+### 🚀 Parallel Execution
+All independent checks run simultaneously for fastest feedback (~5-10 minutes for full suite).
+
+### 📊 Coverage Reporting
+- Automatic PR comments with coverage statistics
+- Per-package coverage breakdown
+- 75% coverage threshold enforcement
+
+### 🔒 Security First
+- Multiple security scanners (gosec, govulncheck, CodeQL)
+- SARIF report uploads for GitHub Security tab
+- Security edge case testing
+
+### 🎯 Comprehensive Testing
+- Race condition detection
+- Memory leak detection
+- Provider-specific testing
+- Integration and regression tests
+
+### 📈 Performance Tracking
+- Benchmark results stored as artifacts
+- Performance regression detection
+
+### ✅ Quality Gates
+All checks must pass before PR can be merged:
+- Code formatting and style
+- Security vulnerabilities
+- Test coverage threshold
+- Race conditions
+- Memory leaks
+- Build success on all platforms
+
+## Local Development
+
+### Run checks locally before pushing:
+
+```bash
+# Format code
+gofmt -s -w .
+
+# Run linter
+golangci-lint run
+
+# Run tests with race detector
+go test -race -timeout=15m -count=1 ./...
+
+# Check coverage
+go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+go tool cover -func=coverage.out
+
+# Run specific test suites
+go test -v -run='.*Leak.*' ./...           # Memory leak tests
+go test -v -run='.*Integration.*' ./...    # Integration tests
+go test -v -run='.*Regression.*' ./...     # Regression tests
+
+# Run benchmarks
+go test -bench=. -benchmem ./...
+
+# Security scan
+gosec ./...
+govulncheck ./...
+```
+
+### Required Tools
+
+Install these tools for local development:
+
+```bash
+# golangci-lint
+go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@latest
+
+# staticcheck
+go install honnef.co/go/tools/cmd/staticcheck@latest
+
+# gosec
+go install github.com/securego/gosec/v2/cmd/gosec@latest
+
+# govulncheck
+go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Workflow Fails
+
+1. **Check job status** - Click on failed job for details
+2. **Review logs** - Expand failed steps to see error messages
+3. **Run locally** - Reproduce issue with local commands above
+4. **Check coverage** - Ensure test coverage meets 75% threshold
+
+### Coverage Below Threshold
+
+Add tests to increase coverage:
+```bash
+# See which lines aren't covered
+go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+go tool cover -html=coverage.out
+```
+
+### Race Condition Detected
+
+Run with race detector locally:
+```bash
+go test -race -v ./...
+```
+
+### Provider Test Failure
+
+Test specific provider:
+```bash
+go test -v -run='.*Azure.*' ./internal/providers/...
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+The workflow is optimized for speed:
+
+- **Parallel execution** - All independent jobs run simultaneously
+- **Go caching** - Dependencies cached between runs
+- **Strategic ordering** - Quick checks run first for fast feedback
+- **Fail-fast disabled** - Continue running all tests even if some fail
+

+      specifications:
+      - ID tokens always have aud=client_id (per OIDC Core 1.0)
+      - Access tokens can have custom audiences (e.g., API identifiers)
+
+      Auth0 Scenarios:
+      1. Custom API audience (recommended): Set to your API identifier from Auth0
+         Example: "https://my-api.example.com"
+         Result: Access tokens will contain this audience

+         Result: Access tokens may not contain client_id, triggering warnings
+
+      3. Opaque tokens: Use with allowOpaqueTokens=true for non-JWT tokens
+
+      When configured and different from client_id, the middleware automatically adds
+      the audience parameter to the authorize endpoint request.

+

+      Enable acceptance of opaque (non-JWT) access tokens.
+
+      When enabled, the middleware accepts access tokens that are not in JWT format
+      (3-part base64 structure). Opaque tokens are validated using OAuth 2.0 Token
+      Introspection (RFC 7662) if the provider exposes an introspection endpoint.
+
+      Auth0 Scenario 3:
+      Some Auth0 configurations issue opaque access tokens when no default API is
+      configured. This setting allows those tokens to be validated.
+
+      Requirements:
+      - Provider must support introspection_endpoint in OIDC discovery
+      - Client must have appropriate introspection permissions
+
+      Validation Process:
+      1. Detects opaque token (not 3-part JWT structure)
+      2. Calls provider's introspection endpoint with client credentials
+      3. Validates response (active status, expiration, audience if present)
+      4. Caches result for 5 minutes or token expiry (whichever is shorter)
+      5. Falls back to ID token validation if introspection unavailable
+         (unless requireTokenIntrospection=true)

+      - Introspection endpoint is not available from provider metadata
+      - Introspection request fails
+      - Introspection response indicates token is not active
+
+      Security Levels:
+      - requireTokenIntrospection=true + allowOpaqueTokens=true:
+        Maximum security - rejects opaque tokens without successful introspection
+
+      - requireTokenIntrospection=false + allowOpaqueTokens=true:

+
+      - requireTokenIntrospection=true + allowOpaqueTokens=false:
+        No effect - opaque tokens are already rejected
+
+      Recommended Configuration:
+      When accepting opaque tokens, always set this to true for maximum security:

+      allowOpaqueTokens: true
+      requireTokenIntrospection: true

+      Disable JTI-based replay attack detection for multi-replica deployments.
+
+      When running multiple Traefik replicas, each instance maintains its own in-memory
+      JTI (JWT Token ID) cache. This causes false positives when the same valid token
+      hits different replicas:
+      - Request → Replica A → JTI added to cache → OK
+      - Request → Replica B → JTI not in Replica B's cache → OK
+      - Request → Replica A again → JTI found → FALSE POSITIVE "replay detected"
+
+      Security Impact:
+      When disabled, the following validations remain active:
+      - RSA/ECDSA signature verification
+      - Token expiration (exp claim)
+      - Issuer validation (iss claim)
+      - Audience validation (aud claim)
+      - Not-before validation (nbf claim)
+      - Issued-at validation (iat claim)
+
+      Only the JTI replay check is skipped.

+      Recommendations:
+      - Single-instance deployment: false (default, enables replay protection)
+      - Multi-replica deployment: true (prevents false positives)

+> If you're running Traefik behind a load balancer (AWS ALB, Google Cloud Load Balancer, Azure Application Gateway, etc.) that terminates TLS:
+> - **You MUST set `forceHTTPS: true`** in your configuration
+> - Without this setting, redirect URIs will use `http://` instead of `https://`, causing OAuth callback failures
+> - This is especially critical for AWS ALB which may overwrite the `X-Forwarded-Proto` header
+>
+> **Default behavior:**
+> - When `forceHTTPS` is **not specified** in your config → defaults to `false` (Go zero value)
+> - When `forceHTTPS: true` is explicitly set → always uses `https://` for redirect URIs
+> - When `forceHTTPS: false` is explicitly set → scheme detection based on headers/TLS

+## Auth0 Audience Validation & Security
+
+The middleware provides comprehensive support for Auth0 audience validation to prevent token confusion attacks. Auth0 can issue tokens in three different scenarios, each requiring specific configuration.
+
+### Understanding Token Audiences
+
+Per OAuth 2.0 and OIDC specifications:
+- **ID Tokens**: MUST have `aud = client_id` (OIDC Core 1.0 spec)
+- **Access Tokens**: Can have custom audiences (e.g., API identifiers)
+
+Proper audience validation prevents **token confusion attacks** where a token intended for one API is used to access another API.
+
+### Auth0 Scenarios
+
+#### Scenario 1: Custom API Audience ✅ (RECOMMENDED)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+audience: "https://my-api.example.com"  # Your API identifier from Auth0
+strictAudienceValidation: true          # Enforce strict validation
+```
+
+**Result**: Fully secure, OIDC compliant with proper access token audience validation.
+
+#### Scenario 2: Default Audience ⚠️ (USE WITH CAUTION)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+# audience not specified (defaults to client_id)
+strictAudienceValidation: true  # Recommended: reject mismatched tokens
+```
+
+**Behavior**: Access tokens may not contain client_id in audience, triggering security warnings. Set `strictAudienceValidation: true` to reject such sessions.
+
+#### Scenario 3: Opaque Access Tokens ✅ (SUPPORTED)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+allowOpaqueTokens: true              # Enable opaque token support
+requireTokenIntrospection: true      # Require introspection (recommended)
+```
+
+**Result**: Secure with OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection (RFC 7662).
+
+### Security Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Purpose | Recommended Value |
+|--------|---------|-------------------|
+| `audience` | Expected audience for access tokens | Your API identifier or leave empty |
+| `strictAudienceValidation` | Reject sessions with audience mismatch | `true` for production |
+| `allowOpaqueTokens` | Accept non-JWT access tokens | `true` if provider issues opaque tokens |
+| `requireTokenIntrospection` | Force introspection for opaque tokens | `true` when `allowOpaqueTokens=true` |

+### Multi-Replica Deployment Configuration
+
+When running multiple Traefik replicas with the OIDC plugin, you may encounter false positive replay detection errors. Each replica maintains its own in-memory JTI (JWT Token ID) cache, causing legitimate token reuse to be flagged as replay attacks.
+
+**Problem**: When the same valid token hits different replicas:
+- Request → Replica A → JTI added to Replica A's cache ✓
+- Request → Replica B → JTI NOT in Replica B's cache ✓
+- Request → Replica A → ❌ **FALSE POSITIVE**: "token replay detected"
+
+**Solution**: Disable replay detection for distributed deployments:
+
+```yaml
+disableReplayDetection: true  # Disable JTI replay detection for multi-replica setups
+```
+
+**Security Note**: When `disableReplayDetection: true`:
+- ✅ Token signatures still validated
+- ✅ Expiration still checked
+- ✅ All other claims still verified
+- ❌ JTI replay check **skipped**
+
+**Example Configuration**:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-multi-replica
+  namespace: traefik
+spec:
+  plugin:
+    traefikoidc:
+      providerURL: https://accounts.google.com
+      clientID: your-client-id

+      callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+      disableReplayDetection: true  # Required for multi-replica deployments
+```
+
+**Recommendation**: For single-instance deployments, leave this setting at `false` (default) to maintain replay attack protection. For multi-replica deployments, set to `true` and consider implementing a shared cache backend (Redis/Memcached) if replay detection is required.

+# Auth0 Audience Validation Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide explains how to configure audience validation for Auth0 and other OIDC providers that support custom API audiences. It covers three common Auth0 scenarios and how to configure the middleware for maximum security.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Understanding Audiences](#understanding-audiences)
+2. [The Three Auth0 Scenarios](#the-three-auth0-scenarios)
+3. [Configuration Options](#configuration-options)
+4. [Security Recommendations](#security-recommendations)
+5. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+---
+
+## Understanding Audiences
+
+### What is an Audience?
+
+The **audience** (`aud`) claim in a JWT identifies the intended recipient of the token. Per OAuth 2.0 and OIDC specifications:
+
+- **ID Tokens**: MUST have `aud = client_id` (per OIDC Core 1.0 spec)
+- **Access Tokens**: Can have custom audiences (e.g., API identifiers)
+
+### Why Does This Matter?
+
+Proper audience validation prevents **token confusion attacks** where a token intended for one API is used to access another API.
+
+---
+
+## The Three Auth0 Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Custom API Audience ✅ **RECOMMENDED**
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+audience: "https://my-api.example.com"  # Your API identifier from Auth0
+```
+
+**What Happens:**
+1. Authorization request includes `audience` parameter
+2. Auth0 issues:
+   - **ID Token**: `aud = client_id`
+   - **Access Token**: `aud = ["https://issuer/userinfo", "https://my-api.example.com"]`
+3. Middleware validates:
+   - ID tokens against `client_id`
+   - Access tokens against custom audience
+
+**Result:** ✅ Fully secure, OIDC compliant
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 2: Default Audience (No Custom API) ⚠️ **USE WITH CAUTION**
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+# audience not specified (defaults to client_id)
+```
+
+**What Happens:**
+1. Authorization request WITHOUT `audience` parameter
+2. Auth0 issues:
+   - **ID Token**: `aud = client_id`
+   - **Access Token**: `aud = ["https://issuer/userinfo", "default_api"]` (no `client_id`)
+3. Access token validation fails (audience mismatch)
+4. Middleware falls back to ID token validation
+
+**Security Warning:**
+```
+⚠️⚠️⚠️  SECURITY WARNING: Falling back to ID token validation despite access token audience mismatch!
+⚠️  This could allow tokens intended for different APIs to grant access
+⚠️  Set strictAudienceValidation=true to enforce proper audience validation
+⚠️  See: https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/74
+```
+
+**Recommended Fix:**
+```yaml
+strictAudienceValidation: true  # Reject sessions with audience mismatch
+```
+
+**Result:**
+- Default: ⚠️ Works but logs security warnings
+- With strict mode: ✅ Secure (rejects mismatched tokens)
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 3: Opaque Access Tokens ✅ **SUPPORTED**
+
+**Configuration:**
+```yaml
+allowOpaqueTokens: true              # Enable opaque token support
+requireTokenIntrospection: true      # Require introspection (recommended)
+```
+
+**What Happens:**
+1. Auth0 issues opaque (non-JWT) access token
+2. Middleware detects opaque token (not 3 parts separated by dots)
+3. Uses OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection (RFC 7662) to validate
+4. Falls back to ID token if introspection unavailable (unless `requireTokenIntrospection=true`)
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Provider must support `introspection_endpoint` in OIDC discovery
+- Client must have introspection permissions
+
+**Result:** ✅ Secure with introspection, ⚠️ risky without
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Audience Settings
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `audience` | string | `client_id` | Expected audience for access tokens |
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+# .traefik.yml
+http:
+  middlewares:
+    oidc-auth:
+      plugin:
+        traefikoidc:
+          audience: "https://my-api.example.com"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Security Mode Settings
+
+#### `strictAudienceValidation`
+
+**Type:** boolean
+**Default:** `false`
+**Recommended:** `true` for production
+
+**What it does:**
+- When `true`: Rejects sessions if access token audience doesn't match (prevents Scenario 2)
+- When `false`: Logs warnings but allows fallback to ID token (backward compatible)
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+strictAudienceValidation: true
+```
+
+**When to use:**
+- ✅ Always use in production environments
+- ✅ When you have custom API audiences configured in Auth0
+- ⚠️ May break existing deployments relying on Scenario 2 behavior
+
+---
+
+#### `allowOpaqueTokens`
+
+**Type:** boolean
+**Default:** `false`
+
+**What it does:**
+- When `true`: Accepts opaque (non-JWT) access tokens
+- When `false`: Only accepts JWT access tokens
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+allowOpaqueTokens: true
+```
+
+**When to use:**
+- ✅ When Auth0 issues opaque tokens (no default API configured)
+- ✅ When using Auth0 Management API tokens
+- ⚠️ Requires introspection endpoint for security
+
+---
+
+#### `requireTokenIntrospection`
+
+**Type:** boolean
+**Default:** `false`
+**Recommended:** `true` when `allowOpaqueTokens=true`
+
+**What it does:**
+- When `true`: Rejects opaque tokens if introspection fails or endpoint unavailable
+- When `false`: Falls back to ID token validation for opaque tokens
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+allowOpaqueTokens: true
+requireTokenIntrospection: true
+```
+
+**When to use:**
+- ✅ Always use when `allowOpaqueTokens=true` for maximum security
+- ⚠️ Requires provider to expose introspection endpoint
+
+---
+
+## Security Recommendations
+
+### Recommended Configuration for Auth0
+
+**For APIs with custom audiences (Scenario 1):**
+```yaml
+audience: "https://my-api.example.com"
+strictAudienceValidation: true
+allowOpaqueTokens: false
+```
+
+**For default Auth0 setup (Scenario 2):**
+```yaml
+# Don't set audience (defaults to client_id)
+strictAudienceValidation: true  # Enforce proper configuration
+```
+
+**For opaque tokens (Scenario 3):**
+```yaml
+allowOpaqueTokens: true
+requireTokenIntrospection: true
+strictAudienceValidation: true
+```
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+1. ✅ **Always set `strictAudienceValidation: true` in production**
+2. ✅ **Configure custom API audiences in Auth0 dashboard**
+3. ✅ **Use `requireTokenIntrospection: true` if accepting opaque tokens**
+4. ✅ **Monitor logs for security warnings**
+5. ❌ **Don't rely on Scenario 2 fallback behavior**
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Access token validation failed due to audience mismatch"
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+⚠️  SCENARIO 2 DETECTED: Access token validation failed due to audience mismatch
+```
+
+**Cause:** Access token audience doesn't match configured audience
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. **Configure correct audience:**
+   ```yaml
+   audience: "https://your-api-identifier"  # From Auth0 API settings
+   ```
+
+2. **Update Auth0 authorization request:**
+   - Ensure `audience` parameter is included in authorize URL
+   - Middleware automatically adds this when `audience != client_id`
+
+3. **Accept the behavior (not recommended):**
+   ```yaml
+   strictAudienceValidation: false  # Logs warnings but allows
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### "Opaque token detected but allowOpaqueTokens=false"
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+⚠️  Opaque access token detected but allowOpaqueTokens=false
+```
+
+**Cause:** Auth0 issued non-JWT access token but middleware not configured to accept them
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. **Enable opaque tokens:**
+   ```yaml
+   allowOpaqueTokens: true
+   requireTokenIntrospection: true
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure Auth0 to issue JWT access tokens:**
+   - Create an API in Auth0 dashboard
+   - Set API identifier as `audience` in configuration
+
+---
+
+### "Introspection endpoint not available"
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+⚠️  Opaque tokens enabled but no introspection endpoint available from provider
+```
+
+**Cause:** Auth0 provider metadata doesn't include `introspection_endpoint`
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. **Check provider discovery:**
+   ```bash
+   curl https://YOUR_DOMAIN/.well-known/openid-configuration
+   ```
+   Look for `introspection_endpoint`
+
+2. **Disable required introspection (less secure):**
+   ```yaml
+   allowOpaqueTokens: true
+   requireTokenIntrospection: false  # Falls back to ID token
+   ```
+
+3. **Use JWT access tokens instead** (recommended)
+
+---
+
+### "Token introspection required but endpoint not available"
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+❌ SECURITY: Opaque token rejected (introspection required but failed)
+```
+
+**Cause:** `requireTokenIntrospection=true` but provider doesn't support it
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. **Disable required introspection:**
+   ```yaml
+   requireTokenIntrospection: false
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure Auth0 to issue JWT tokens** (better solution)
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+### Token Type Detection
+
+The middleware uses a sophisticated 6-step detection algorithm:
+
+1. **RFC 9068 `typ` header**: `at+jwt` → Access Token
+2. **Explicit type claims**: `token_use`, `token_type`
+3. **`scope` claim**: Present → Access Token
+4. **`nonce` claim**: Present → ID Token (OIDC spec)
+5. **Audience check**: `aud == client_id` only → ID Token
+6. **Default**: Access Token
+
+### OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection (RFC 7662)
+
+When opaque tokens are detected:
+
+1. Middleware calls provider's `introspection_endpoint`
+2. Authenticates using client credentials
+3. Receives response with `active` status and claims
+4. Caches result for 5 minutes (configurable via TTL)
+5. Validates expiration, not-before, and audience if present
+
+**Cache behavior:**
+- Cache key: Token hash
+- TTL: 5 minutes or token expiry (whichever is shorter)
+- Reduces introspection requests for frequently used tokens

+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Previous Versions
+
+**If you're upgrading from a version without these features:**
+
+1. **No action required for default behavior** - backward compatible
+2. **Recommended: Enable strict mode gradually**
+   ```yaml
+   # Step 1: Enable and monitor logs
+   strictAudienceValidation: false  # Default
+
+   # Step 2: After confirming no warnings, enable
+   strictAudienceValidation: true
+   ```
+
+3. **For opaque tokens: Enable explicitly**
+   ```yaml
+   allowOpaqueTokens: true
+   requireTokenIntrospection: true
+   ```
+
+### Testing Your Configuration
+
+1. **Check logs for warnings:**
+   ```bash
+   # Look for Scenario 2 warnings
+   grep "SCENARIO 2 DETECTED" /var/log/traefik.log
+
+   # Look for opaque token warnings
+   grep "Opaque" /var/log/traefik.log
+   ```
+
+2. **Test with curl:**
+   ```bash
+   # Get token from Auth0
+   ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token"
+
+   # Test request
+   curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
+        https://your-app.example.com/api
+   ```
+
+3. **Monitor for security warnings in production logs**

+## Automatic Scope Filtering
+
+### Overview
+
+The middleware automatically filters OAuth scopes based on the provider's capabilities declared in their OIDC discovery document (`.well-known/openid-configuration`). This prevents authentication failures when providers reject unsupported scopes.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Discovery Document Parsing**: The middleware fetches the provider's discovery document and extracts the `scopes_supported` field
+2. **Intelligent Filtering**: Requested scopes are filtered to only include those the provider supports
+3. **Fallback Behavior**: If the provider doesn't declare `scopes_supported`, all requested scopes are used (backward compatible)
+4. **Provider-Specific Handling**: Special logic for Google and Azure is preserved and applied after filtering
+
+### Example Scenarios
+
+#### Self-Hosted GitLab
+
+**Problem**: Self-hosted GitLab instances reject the `offline_access` scope with error:
+```
+The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed.
+```
+
+**Solution**: The middleware automatically detects this by:
+1. Reading GitLab's discovery document at `https://gitlab.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration`
+2. Observing that `offline_access` is NOT in the `scopes_supported` list
+3. Filtering out `offline_access` from the request
+4. Authentication succeeds
+
+**Configuration**:
+```yaml
+http:
+  middlewares:
+    gitlab-oidc:
+      plugin:
+        traefik-oidc:
+          providerUrl: "https://gitlab.example.com"
+          clientId: "your-gitlab-application-id"
+          clientSecret: "your-gitlab-application-secret"
+          callbackUrl: "https://app.example.com/auth/callback"
+          scopes: ["openid", "profile", "email", "offline_access"]
+          # Even though offline_access is listed, it will be automatically
+          # filtered out if GitLab doesn't support it
+```
+
+#### Auth0 or Keycloak
+
+These providers typically support `offline_access` and it will be included:
+
+```yaml
+# Auth0 scopes_supported: ["openid", "profile", "email", "offline_access", ...]
+# Result: All requested scopes are sent
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **Self-Hosted Support**: Works seamlessly with self-hosted provider instances
+2. **No Manual Configuration**: No need to know which scopes each provider supports
+3. **Error Prevention**: Eliminates "invalid scope" authentication failures
+4. **Standards Compliant**: Uses official OIDC discovery specification (RFC 8414)
+5. **Backward Compatible**: Existing configurations continue to work
+
+### Logging
+
+The middleware provides detailed logging for scope filtering:
+
+```
+INFO: ScopeFilter: Filtered unsupported scopes for https://gitlab.example.com: [offline_access]
+DEBUG: ScopeFilter: Provider https://gitlab.example.com supported scopes: [openid profile email read_user read_api]
+DEBUG: ScopeFilter: Final filtered scopes: [openid profile email]
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue**: Provider rejects scope even after filtering
+
+**Possible Causes**:
+1. Provider's discovery document is outdated
+2. Provider doesn't properly implement `scopes_supported`
+3. Custom authorization server with non-standard behavior
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Use `overrideScopes: true` and explicitly list only supported scopes
+2. Check the provider's discovery document manually: `curl https://your-provider/.well-known/openid-configuration`
+3. Review middleware debug logs for filtering decisions
+
+---
+
 ## Common Configuration Options
 
+### Audience Configuration
+
+The `audience` parameter specifies the expected JWT audience claim value. This is particularly important when using Auth0 APIs, Azure AD Application ID URIs, or other providers with custom audience requirements.
+
+```yaml
+# Optional: Custom audience for JWT validation
+# If not set, defaults to clientID for backward compatibility
+audience: "https://api.example.com"  # Auth0 API identifier
+# OR
+audience: "api://12345-guid"  # Azure AD Application ID URI
+```
+
+**When to use**:
+- **Auth0**: When using Auth0 APIs with custom audience parameters
+- **Azure AD**: When exposing your app as an API with Application ID URI
+- **Keycloak**: When using audience-restricted tokens
+- **Okta**: When using custom authorization servers with API audiences
+
+**When to omit**:
+- For standard ID token validation (default behavior)
+- When the provider sets `aud` claim to your `clientID`
+- For backward compatibility with existing configurations
+
+**Security Note**: The `audience` parameter prevents token confusion attacks by ensuring tokens issued for one service cannot be used at another service.
