### 14.1.3. OpenID Connect Discovery

OpenID Connect defines how a client application can discover the OpenID connect provider and corresponding OpenID Connect configuration for an end user. The discovery mechanism relies on WebFinger to get the information based on the end user's identifier. The server returns the information in JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD) format.
