credctl oidc generate

Deprecated

This command is hidden and intended for internal use only. credctl setup aws and credctl setup gcp handle OIDC document generation automatically. You should not need to run this command directly.

Synopsis

credctl oidc generate [flags]

Description

credctl oidc generate creates OIDC discovery and JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) documents from the device’s public key. These documents are required for AWS IAM to validate JWTs signed by the device’s Secure Enclave key.

The command writes two files to ~/.credctl/oidc/:

• .well-known/openid-configuration — OIDC discovery document
• keys.json — JWKS containing the device’s public key

If a keys.json already exists, the new key is merged into the existing JWKS.

Note

You do not normally need to run this command directly. credctl setup aws calls oidc generate and oidc publish automatically.

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--issuer-url	string	—	OIDC issuer URL, typically the CloudFront distribution URL. Required.

  Key ID:    sha256_...
