Testing OIDC client registration

All,

I write this with great trepidation as we have a large and growing pile of
other things to do, but Signet might be willing to set up an OIDC testing
service like SAMLtest if there's the popular demand.

Are we at the stage where such a service would be useful?  Do people really
need one, or is it simple enough to configure on one's own servers?

Best wishes,
Nate.
