Description

Buried in the Blazor docs is this:

Authentication scheme configuration is automatically read from builder.Configuration["Authentication:Schemes:{SCHEME NAME}:{PropertyName}"], where the {SCHEME NAME} placeholder is the scheme, which is MicrosoftOidc by default. Because configuration is preconfigured, a client secret can automatically be read via the Authentication:Schemes:MicrosoftOidc:ClientSecret configuration key. On the server using environment variables, name the environment variable Authentication__Schemes__MicrosoftOidc__ClientSecret:

This should be placed more prominently in some section in the authentication docs.
