Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently both the UI and the server need configured with similar values to enable identity provider support in each process.

Describe the solution you would like

The UI should ask the server for the authentication values its configured with, so the UI can function appropriately automatically without separate configuration.

Suggest creating a server endpoint to provide the identity provider details to the UI so it can configure itself appropriately.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing identity-provider configuration in the server and UI, since no files or tests are named. Identify the server endpoint and UI integration points needed to expose and consume the configured authentication values; done means the UI can configure identity-provider support from server-provided values without duplicate configuration.
