Discourse OpenID Connect

Hi @balazsorban44, thanks for the reminder on this. I’ve done a first pass of reviewing the PR. If the author doesn’t have time to work on those things, then it’s likely something we can take on. I agree having PKCE support would be nice.

However, it’s worth noting: I don’t think Discourse is vulnerable to the “authorization code interception” attacks which PKCE protects against. Discourse authentication always happens in-browser over https, and does not use OS-level custom URL schemes which can be intercepted by other apps.

But of course, there is no harm in adding the extra layer of security :+1:
