MONGOC_OIDC_CREDENTIAL_T(3)

💅 MONGOC_OIDC_CREDENTIAL_T(3) 🎀

okay so real quick bestie — this is a page from libmongoc, and today's main character is mongoc_oidc_credential_t. it's giving "small struct, big responsibility" and honestly? i'm obsessed. let's get into it. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typedef struct _mongoc_oidc_credential_t mongoc_oidc_credential_t;

so like. what even is this thing? 🦋 it represents the return value of a mongoc_oidc_callback_fn_t. that's it. that's the whole vibe.

and the way it works is lowkey iconic: this value gets returned by the mongoc_oidc_callback_fn_t that's stored inside an mongoc_oidc_callback_t object, and that happens when the callback gets invoked by an associated mongoc_client_t or mongoc_client_pool_t object. so it's a whole little ecosystem, yk? 🫶

🌸 RETURN VALUES 🌸

here's the list of currently supported return values, no gatekeeping:

• access_token — Version 1 — the OIDC access token. 💖
• expires_in — Version 1 — an optional expiration duration (in milliseconds). ⭐

and the "Version" column (yes the one in the original table, rip table, you ate tho 💀) tells you which OIDC callback API versions the parameter is applicable to.

---

🔥 Access Token

an OIDC access token — which is a signed JWT token. 👑

WARNING: access_token is NOT directly validated by the driver. not me finding out the driver just trusts you like that 😭 fr fr, it does not check it. that's on you.

---

🧚 Expiry Duration

an optional expiry duration (in milliseconds) for the access token. simple as that. 🌈

IMPORTANT: an unset value is interpreted as an infinite expiry duration. so like... unset = forever = no cap, it never expires. set it if you want it to actually end, bestie. 💅
