# OIDC and delegated authentication
## Compatibility/OIDC-aware mode
[MSC2965: OIDC provider discovery](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2965)
[MSC3824: OIDC aware clients](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3824)
This mode uses an SSO flow to gain a `loginToken` from the authentication provider, then continues with SSO login.
Element Web uses [MSC2965: OIDC provider discovery](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2965) to discover the configured provider.
Wherever valid MSC2965 configuration is discovered, OIDC-aware login flow will be the only option offered.
## (🧪Experimental) OIDC-native flow
Can be enabled by a config-level-only setting in `config.json`
```json
{
"features": {
"feature_oidc_native_flow": true
}
}
```
See https://areweoidcyet.com/client-implementation-guide/ for implementation details.
Element Web uses [MSC2965: OIDC provider discovery](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2965) to discover the configured provider.
Where OIDC native login flow is enabled and valid MSC2965 configuration is discovered, OIDC native login flow will be the only login option offered.
Where a valid MSC2965 configuration is discovered, OIDC native login flow will be the only login option offered.
Element Web will attempt to [dynamically register](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-registration-1_0.html) with the configured OP.
Then, authentication will be completed [as described here](https://areweoidcyet.com/client-implementation-guide/).
