The client portion of MITREid Connect is usable as a Spring Security filter. The [Simple Web App](https://github.com/mitreid-connect/simple-web-app) project has an [example configuration](https://github.com/mitreid-connect/simple-web-app/blob/master/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml) for this filter in the context of a working application. This page describes the different components.
> **Note well:** interfacing with Google's identity provider requires [special configuration](Sample-Static-Configuration-for-using-Google-Authentication).
# Auth Provider
The `OIDCAuthenticationProvider` class implements a Spring Security Authentication Provider that can be used with a standard Authentication Manager. This Authentication Provider handles fetching UserInfo from the server's UserInfo endpoint. The UserInfo information is then stored on the `OIDCAuthenticationToken` object that is returned from the authentication process.
