How does OpenID Connect integration work?

[dutch]

I've deployed Synapse 1.0.0-alpha5.20 in a K8s cluster, and it's doing exactly what I want with a static token for authentication. I'd love to move on to integrating it with my existing OIDC identity infrastructure, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. I've added SYNAPSE_API_AUTH_OIDC_* environment variables to the API pod, and it seemed to take them, but the dashboard still just shows a static bearer token login screen when visiting it.

Can you help me understand how to integrate Synapse with outside authentication?

Much appreciated!
