**Tell us about your request**
The new OIDC for EKS requires a commercially signed certificate on the IdP. There's no way to specify a certificate for the authority. Many enterprises have an internal CA that they use for web applications. A self hosted identity provider in an enterprise is likely to have a self-signed CA.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Use EKS OIDC with a self-hosted idp using an internal CA.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Using impersonation with a reverse proxy in front of the API server
**Additional context**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the EKS OIDC integration and how certificate trust is configured for the identity provider. Compare that with the reverse-proxy impersonation workaround described in the issue; done means EKS OIDC can use an identity provider backed by an internal or self-signed CA.
