    "client_id": "yourclientid",
    "client_secret": "yourclientsecret",
    "scope": "first_scope second_scope",
    "auth_uri": "https://provider.com/auth",

$conf = ({
    "iden": $iden,

// Optionally provide additional key-val parameters
// to include when calling the auth URI
$conf.extra_auth_params = ({"customparam": "foo"})

$lib.inet.http.oauth.v2.addProvider($conf)

If the client_id value should come from the AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable, use the following configuration:

    "token_uri": `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{$authority_id}/oauth2/v2.0/token`,
    "redirect_uri": "https://local.redirect.com/oauth",
})

Add a new provider which uses a custom Storm callback to obtain the client_assertion data. These callbacks are executed as the user who is performing the authorization_code workflow. The Storm callback must return data in a tuple of bool and a dictionary containing the assertion in the key token. Error messages should be in the key error:

$iden = $lib.guid(callstormexample, provider, oauth)

// Example callback
$callbackQuery = ${
    $url = `{$baseurl}/api/oauth/getAssertion`
    $resp = $lib.inet.http.get($url, ssl_verify=$ssl_verify)
    if ($resp.code = 200) {
        $resp = ([true, {'token': $resp.json().assertion}])
    } else {
        $resp = ([false, {"error": `Failed to get assertion from {$url}`}])
    }
    return ( $resp )
}

// Specify any variables that need to be provided to $callbackQuery
$myCallbackVars = ({
    'baseurl': 'https://local.assertion.provider.corp',
    'ssl_verify': true,
})

// Specify the view the callback is run in.
$view = $lib.view.get().iden

$conf = ({
    "iden": $iden,
    "name": "example_provider",
    "auth_scheme": "client_assertion",
    "client_id": "yourclientid",
    "client_assertion": {
        "cortex:callstorm": {
            "query": $callbackQuery,
            "view": $view,
            "vars": $myCallbackVars,
        },
    },
    "scope": "first_scope second_scope",
    "auth_uri": "https://provider.com/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://provider.com/token",
    "redirect_uri": "https://local.redirect.com/oauth",
