Problem Description

I would like to be able to use dex as a bridge between matrix accounts and openid connect for my application. In my app, I want to be able to offer a "sign in with matrix" flow without implementing that logic inside the app.

Proposed Solution

A matrix connector, like the one for SAML would be appreciated here!

@reesericci Hello! I thought Matrix has OIDC support. If so, it can be connected to Dex using the generic OIDC connector.

I believe that is for using OIDC as a backend for matrix homeserver auth, but there's no OIDC support for the builtin authentication protocol and so it makes it impossible to scale across homeservers afaik
