Server configuration. The MITREid Connect server can function as an OpenID Connect Identity Provider (IdP) and an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server (AS) simultaneously. The server is a Spring application and its configuration files are found in `openid-connect-server/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/` and end in `.xml`. The configuration has been split into multiple `.xml` files to facilitate overrides and custom configuration. As such, `application-context.xml` and `spring-servlet.xml` should never be edited or overridden by a local configuration. Rather, each of the remaining files contains aspects that can be configured independently:
* `user-context.xml`: Defines how users user information is stored and accessed within the system, which users map to administrators, and how the site's default access controls will work.
* `server-config.xml`: Defines the server's ConfigurationPropertiesBean class which defines the server's `Issuer` URL, from which all other URLs in the system are based. This also defines the display title and titlebar icon.
* `data-context.xml`: Data connection information used by the JPA storage layers. The beans defined here will include database connection credentials and any other components that need to be defined for storage.
* `crypto-config.xml`: Cryptographic configuration, defines the server's signing and validation service. this requires parameters such as location of the server's private key file and the server's default signing key and algorithm.
* `local-config.xml`: Any remaining new bean definitions that don't fit existing categories but need to be added to the configuration. This is loaded last.
