description: 'The Canada Life Assurance Company is one of Canada''s largest life and health insurers, formed from the 2020
  amalgamation of Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life under Winnipeg-based parent Great-West Lifeco. From its home
  market of Canada it underwrites individual life insurance, critical illness and disability coverage, individual and group
  health and dental benefits, group retirement and savings, segregated funds and annuities, distributed through an advisor
  and managing-general-agent channel rather than direct-to-developer. Canada Life publishes no public, self-serve developer
  portal and no downloadable API specifications. Its integration surface is entirely partner-gated: a live OAuth2-protected
  API gateway at api.canadalife.com that returns 403 on every path and exposes only OpenID discovery and JWKS anonymously,
  a Liferay "Digital Agent" advisor login wall at advisor.canadalife.com, a Salesforce-hosted customer portal at my.canadalife.com
  that publishes its own OpenID Connect discovery document with 36 platform scopes, and — the real machine-to-machine channel
  for this market — ACORD XML for Life data exchange with distributors through its carrier membership in CLIEDIS, the Canadian
  Life Insurance EDI Standards body. A former Apigee developer portal at developers.canadalife.com survives only as a dangling
  DNS CNAME pointing at prod-canadalife-portal.apigee.net, which no longer resolves.'

- name: Canada Life Partner API Gateway
  description: 'A live, production API gateway at api.canadalife.com serving Canada Life''s partner, distributor and MGA integrations.
    It is fully gated: every business path probed (including /v1, /docs, /health, /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /api-docs
    and /graphql) returns 403 Forbidden to anonymous callers, and no reference documentation is published anywhere. The only
    anonymously readable surface is the OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect identity layer — a discovery document and a JWKS — which
    confirms a server-to-server client-credentials model with the interactive authorization-code flow deliberately disabled
    (the authorization endpoint is published with a literal "-NOT-SUPPORTED" suffix). Credentials are issued through a partner
    relationship; there is no self-serve signup and no OpenAPI to harvest.'

- name: Canada Life Customer Portal Identity (my.canadalife.com)
  description: The retail customer portal at my.canadalife.com is hosted on Salesforce Experience Cloud and publishes a complete
    OpenID Connect discovery document anonymously — authorization, token, userinfo, introspection, revocation, dynamic client
    registration and front-channel logout endpoints, 36 scopes_supported and 24 claims_supported. This is a genuine machine-readable
    identity surface on a Canada Life host, but the scope vocabulary is Salesforce platform defaults rather than a Canada
    Life insurance-business vocabulary, and the portal itself is a login wall with no published API for policies, claims or
    benefits.
