This is a site protected by OIDC!
```
There is another method to set up OIDC authentication using the native OIDC module, which can be tried out as an experimental method using [this process](https://github.com/nginxinc/nginxaas-for-azure-snippets/tree/main/terraform/configurations/native-oidc). We recommend using the above method, which uses the njs module.

These implementations are different: nginx native OIDC module vs njs-based OIDC.
Native OIDC module appeared in R34, while njs-based OIDC was available before (pls see this blogpost)
