okay Internet, I need your suggestions: I have a static website that I can't modify, and I want to host it on some platform that I can tie to an arbitrary OpenID Connect provider so that only certain people can access it. What's the easiest way to do this?

I have spent no joke like 4 hours trying to do this on @netlify already today and cannot for the life of me figure it out

can you say more about what the ideal workflow is? if you can set a cookie, you can allow/deny access based on cookie presence docs.netlify.com/routing/red…

Redirect options

Understand redirect rule options to customize how site paths are matched and redirected.

Ideally I'd have something like a Netlify function run on every incoming request to check the presence of a cookie, validate it, and based on the result, either send an HTTP redirect to start an OIDC flow, or return the static file requested.

If you can't modify it, how do you have access to deploy it somewhere else?

It's a static site, so it's a pile of files. I can push those files around as much as I want, but changing them is not really feasible
