Hello, I am using version 8.5.2 of elasticsearch, [and the documentation states](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/8.5/x-pack/docs/en/rest-api/security/oidc-authenticate-api.asciidoc), for an OIDC authenticate response, I should receive:

```auto
{
  "access_token" : "dGhpcyBpcyBub3QgYSByZWFsIHRva2VuIGJ1dCBpdCBpcyBvbmx5IHRlc3QgZGF0YS4gZG8gbm90IHRyeSB0byByZWFkIHRva2VuIQ==",
  "type" : "Bearer",
  "expires_in" : 1200,
  "refresh_token": "vLBPvmAB6KvwvJZr27cS"
}

```

In my environment I am receiving the following fields:

```auto
{
    "username": "myusername",
    "access_token": "asdflkajsdfjasdf",
    "refresh_token": "aklsdlkeuioasf",
    "expires_in": 1200,
    "authentication": { <OIDC claims> }
}

```

Are the fields in the documentation incorrect? Or is something not correct with my setup?

Many thanks

That doc page is out of date. I have raised an issue to fix it [[Doc] Authentication information is missing certain API responses · Issue #93366 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/93366)  
Thanks for reporting!
