Support of JWKs Endpoint instead of Introspection Endpoint in "Third Party OIDC Provider Config"

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Identity providers we currently use often do not offer an introspection endpoint. For this, as it is required by API Connect, we have now offered our own introspection endpoint. This means additional implementation effort and an additional source of errors in the critical auth stack.


A better solution would be:


Ask for the JWKs endpoint as alternative to Introspection Endpoint.

Build the Logic into the third party IDP Service and cache the JWKs for performance.


Then validate using the standards defined by rfc 7519 / 7515

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-7.2

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7515#section-4.1.4


There would be a need to have an option if x5c OR kid should be used to identify the valid public key as auth providers are not consistent in the implementation here.


Thanks for your consideration!

    This capability would be a nice addition, but it should be an addition, not a replacement. It should be possible to select which mechanism will be used, probably at the OAuth provider level (allowing such configuration at the API level could potentially be complex and error prone).
