Add support for new configs available on UserManager

[VysockyStan]

Hello,
oidc-client library added this one

• client_authentication [1.11.0] (default: client_secret_post): Indicates when sending client secret if sent as a post param or in Authorization header using HTTP Basic (use client_secret_basic).

And I really need it in my current project.
Could you please add it to the UserManager config

Hey! Thanks for reporting this, and thanks for using oidc-react! 🙏

You can use your own UserManager for this, let me give you an example:

import React from 'react';
import { UserManager, AuthProvider } from 'oidc-react';

const userManager = new UserManager({
 // ... set your config here
});

export const HelloComponent: React.FC = () => (
	<AuthProvider userManager={userManager}>
	{/* ... */}
	</AuthProvider>
);

Let me know if that works for you! 🚀

Thanks for reply
Yeh, I've tried that but UserManager doesn't have definition for that exact prop.
OidcClient neither has

This causes TS error
new UserManager({ client_authentication: 'client_secret_basic' })

And this
new UserManager({ clientAuthentication: 'client_secret_basic' })

Hello, could you please inform me if you are going to add that prop or not.

Thanks

This would be something I'd normally recommend you open an issue over at oidc-client-js, since this is not really something wrong with this particular library. However, as we are tracking in #652, the library is deprecated. We are trying to work out which path to go, but until then I'd recommend you do type-casting when using Typescript.

E.g. like this: new UserManager({ clientAuthentication: 'client_secret_basic' } as any)

Thank you very much!
That works
