[Bug]: OIDC not showing up occasionally

The Problem

Having only OIDC activated, Stirling PDF sometimes fails to show this login option, leaving only the "generic" login which I have disabled as well. Only when reloading with F5, the field shows up then.

Can you please share your developer console logs for your browser for the sessions that don't show the login method?
(For most browsers this is by pressing f12)
Some logs may be large so you might need to share as file
You can also email it to anthony@stirlingpdf.com or send to Froodle on Stirling discord channel if it contains supernal data like domain names etc

@dosu SECURITY_OAUTH2_SCOPES is a comma-separated string. SECURITY_OAUTH2_PROVIDER can be freely chosen for a generic provider, if I understand correctly.

The intermittent display is often a frontend race condition: the login page fetches backend config, and if the backend isn’t ready or the fetch is delayed, the OIDC button may not render until you reload or visit /login?

The issue persists even after the backend has started. It seems more that this a generic race condition, and if that is the case, the solution seems to be at-hand.

It should not be needed that a user needs to reload multiple times do be able to login.
