+and adds optional 'oidcTokenProvider' config value. This will allow
+users to authenticate to kubernetes cluster using id tokens obtained
+from the configured auth provider in their backstage instance.

+##### `clusters.\*.oidcTokenProvider` (optional)
+
+This field is to be used when using the `oidc` auth provider. It will use the id tokens
+from a configured [backstage auth provider](https://backstage.io/docs/auth/) to
+authenticate to the cluster. The selected `oidcTokenProvider` needs to be properly
+configured under `auth` for this to work.
+
+```yaml
+kubernetes:
+  clusterLocatorMethods:
+    - type: 'config'
+      clusters:
+        - name: test-cluster
+          url: http://localhost:8080
+          authProvider: oidc
+          oidcTokenProvider: okta # This value needs to match a config under auth.providers

+        clientSecret: ${AUTH_OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET}
+        audience: ${AUTH_OKTA_AUDIENCE}
+```
+
+The following values are supported out-of-the-box by the frontend: `google`, `microsoft`, `okta`, `onelogin`.

 ##### `clusters.\*.dashboardUrl` (optional)
 
 Specifies the link to the Kubernetes dashboard managing this cluster.
