// For file-sourced credentials, a background process needs to be continuously
// refreshing the file location with a new OIDC token prior to expiration.

// return the OIDC token. The response can be in plain text or JSON.

// # Workforce Identity Federation
//
// Workforce identity federation lets you use an external identity provider (IdP) to
// authenticate and authorize a workforce—a group of users, such as employees, partners,
// and contractors—using IAM, so that the users can access Google Cloud services.
// Workforce identity federation extends Google Cloud's identity capabilities to support
// syncless, attribute-based single sign on.
//
// With workforce identity federation, your workforce can access Google Cloud resources
// using an external identity provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) or
// SAML 2.0 such as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Active Directory Federation
// Services (AD FS), Okta, and others.
//
// Follow the detailed instructions on how to configure Workload Identity Federation
// in various platforms:

// SAML 2.0 identity provider: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/configuring-workforce-identity-federation#saml
