Identity providers configuration

Identity providers are the server resources helping to customize the end-user authentication interface. Those means of authentication provide customizable flows and interfaces that help to keep the service branding while providing authentication for them in a seamless way. In case of misconfiguration in navigation error from the end-user, fallbacks to error templates are provided to keep a good end-user experience.

Architecture

For each client, you can configure a specific identity provider, that will be associated to a backend, helping to provide both authorization and authentication for them. This way, each client will have a custom interface as mean of authentication for the end-users.

Manage through User Interface

The administration interface gives the ability to create, update and delete identity providers. You can access them by navigating to the Identity providers > identity provider list section in the sidebar menu.

Manage through API

All identity provider operations are accessible through a REST API following the below description. All identity provider management endpoints are protected with a Bearer token that can be obtained with any OAuth flow. In order to get access, you need to have an access token with the private scope identity-providers:manage:all granted.
