// For OIDC and SAML providers, the library can retrieve tokens in three ways:
// from a local file location (file-sourced credentials), from a server
// (URL-sourced credentials), or from a local executable (executable-sourced
// credentials).
// For file-sourced credentials, a background process needs to be continuously
// refreshing the file location with a new OIDC token prior to expiration.
// For tokens with one hour lifetimes, the token needs to be updated in the file
