Only Experience Cloud sites or Salesforce orgs can access the authentication configuration
endpoint. You don't need a session to access the authentication configuration endpoint.
In response to a request to the authentication configuration endpoint,
Salesforce returns basic information in JSON format. This
information includes authentication and registration settings, branding assets, and other
values related to SSO support for users of Experience Cloud sites or Salesforce
orgs.
The format of the authentication configuration endpoint is:
https://<site or custom
URL>/.well-known/auth-configuration. For example,
https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/.well-known/auth-configuration.
Authentication Configuration Endpoint Response
The authentication configuration endpoint returns the information in JSON format only.
