# Custom Request Parameter

Since version `5.2.0` it is possible to customize the requests send by the agent to the OPs and add custom request parameters.

Custom parameters can be configured in a config file named `custom_parameters.config`. As usual the file can be placed in `/etc/oidc-agent` or the agent directory. If both are present parameters are merged together.

The `custom_parameters.config` contains a json array of parameter specifications. A parameter specification is a json object that can have the following fields:

| Field Name    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

| `value`       | The value that should be used. The value can be given in different ways. If the value starts with a `$` the following characters are interpreted as an environment variable and the value is read from this variable. If the given value starts with an `/` it is interpreted as a file path and the first line from that file is used as the value. Otherwise the value is used directly. |
