OpenID Connect (OIDC) Support

Thank you for starting this project. Does this support OpenID Connect (OIDC) auth?

Yes, Couchbase Sync Gateway supports OIDC authentication and Kotbase supports the Couchbase Lite replicator API to authenticate with a session ID.

The basic steps are:

1) Configure your Sync Gateway with your OIDC provider. 2) Create a session ID with a OIDC token. 3) Get the session ID from the response header or created cookie. 4) Use the session ID to authenticate from the client replicator using session authentication. 5) Refresh the session ID when it expires.
