Description

Hi team
Is it possible for SCG to act as an oauth2 client and hide/proxy it's own IdP at the same time ?
For internally hosted IdP (spring-auth-server, keycloak), if we don't want to expose them directly,
when SGC is acting as an oauth client it can't proxy IdP because it won't be able to call /.well-known through itself
(it can be solved by a secondary stateless gateway just for IdP),
but is there any way to make this possible if we are trying to have a unique scalable SGC
maybe defer the call to /.well-known until routing has started

thx in advance

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing Spring Cloud Gateway's OAuth2 client discovery and proxy routing behavior, especially access to /.well-known, then determine the required design for one gateway to handle both roles; done would mean an implemented and tested supported configuration or a documented limitation.
