Description

This PR adds an OIDC/OAuth2 concepts overview guide to the security documentation.

Motivation:
While kgateway provides support for OAuth2/OIDC and includes provider-specific guides (such as Keycloak) and a JWT validation guide, there is no central explanation of how authentication flows work in kgateway or how these approaches relate to each other.

What changed:

  • Added a new OIDC/OAuth2 overview guide explaining authentication flows in kgateway
  • Covered the Authorization Code flow and how it is handled at the gateway
  • Included a comparison of JWT validation vs OIDC
  • Provided guidance on when to use each approach
  • Linked to existing JWT and Keycloak guides
  • Added navigation entry under the security section

Closes #735


Change Type

/kind documentation


Changelog

Add OIDC/OAuth2 concepts overview guide to security documentation

Additional Notes

This guide focuses on conceptual understanding and complements existing provider-specific guides without duplicating them.

Closes kgateway-dev#735
