Update the description for the oidc section in the example configuration. Give a short explanation of each configuration setting. All documentend features were tested with Headscale 0.26 (using a fresh database each time) using the following identity providers: * Authelia * Authentik * Kanidm * Keycloak Fixes: #2295	2025-07-04 10:51:37 +02:00

The following scenarious were tested on Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 11, Debian 12: * Install * Install same version again * Install -> Remove -> Install * Install -> Purge -> Install * Purge * Update from 0.22.0 * Update from 0.26.0 See: #2278 See: #2133 Fixes: #2311	2025-05-21 15:40:32 +02:00
