Writing an OIDC RP Utilities Class
Recently, I found the need to write an OIDC RP utility class in java in order to handle OIDC requests. I needed to be able to call the usual suspects of when dealing with OIDC: Authorize Token Userinfo Each one of these is a different API call and I really didn't feel like writing individual requests and deal with processing and storing all of the information that would be exchanged.
