Description

Whether manually configured, or configured through an OpenID Connect well-known configuration there are limit well defined flows.

OAuth providers, instead of assuming a specific flow should allow any defined/supported flow to be used.

NOTE: direct_grant = Resource Owner Password Credentials (however, we ignore the username/password fields as we connect with mTLS [e.g. CAC])

Research direction

Start by locating the OAuth*Provider implementation and the paths that load OpenID Connect well-known configuration or manual provider settings. Trace how supported flows are currently selected, including direct_grant with mTLS, and define done as exposing and permitting every configured or discovered supported flow rather than assuming one specific flow.
