Connect Your Own Identity Provider (IdP)

Link your company's existing Identity Provider (IdP) to the Federity-X Portal so users can authenticate with their corporate credentials.

Key Concepts

Authentication Type – OIDC (OpenID Connect): A standardized identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 that verifies users and fetches profile information securely.

Identity Provider Type – Own: Use this when connecting to your company's own IdP. This is suitable for internal user authentication.

Redirect URL: The endpoint to which the user is redirected after successful authentication. This must be registered in your IdP (no wildcard allowed).

Metadata URL: Provides your IdP's configuration (including public keys and endpoints). Must end with: /.well-known/openid-configuration

Identity Provider (IdP): A system (e.g., Azure, Keycloak) responsible for authenticating users.

IdP Data: Includes credentials, roles, and permissions used to enforce secure access.

Provider ID: A unique user ID from your IdP system. Example: Azure sub-ID or Keycloak user ID.
