About

OpenID Connect is a standard protocol for web browser Single Sign-On (SSO) using secure tokens. The OpenID Connect eliminates all local application passwords and instead uses standard cryptography and digital signatures to pass a secure sign-in token from an identity provider to a SaaS application.

When OpenID Connect integration is enabled user authentication requests to the Relying Party (e.g. Management Interface or end user interface) will be redirected to a remote Identity Provider server URL. After user authentication to the remote Identity Provider, the user is redirected back to the Relying Party for the authentication session to be verified.

See OpenID Connect documentation for more information about its principles.

For information on how to set up the OIDC integration, see Integration with external Identity Providers via OpenID Connect.
