What This Feature Is For

Use this feature to connect outside identity systems while keeping tenant ownership, user mapping, and policy enforcement inside TokenIDP.

Workflow

  1. Open External Providers Management.
  2. Create a new provider entry.
  3. Enter issuer, client, secret, and callback details.
  4. Map claims and enable the provider.
  5. Test login in a non-production environment first.

Working Example

Add an enterprise OpenID Connect provider for one Tenant while leaving other Tenants on local login only.

Common Pitfalls

  • Enabling a provider globally when it should be tenant-scoped.
  • Not validating claim mapping before rollout.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If sign-in succeeds at the external provider but fails on return, inspect callback configuration, claim mapping, and tenant routing.
