During June 2026, work focused on delivering OpenID Connect integration for FA Metrics within the FAForever/gitops-stack repository. This involved configuring OIDC client settings and secure client secret management using YAML, enabling external authentication and authorization through an OIDC provider. The implementation established a foundation for scalable identity management and single sign-on, supporting future integrations and automated secret handling. Emphasizing authentication, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices, the feature addressed secure user access without introducing new bugs. The approach prioritized robust configuration and maintainability, ensuring that FA Metrics could leverage delegated authentication flows for improved security and streamlined user management.
