titleChoose Identity Provider

Choose Identity Provider

The user opens Picturepark by providing the Picturepark URL. She chooses to log in with Picturepark IDS credentials by providing an email and password (1). This will authenticate the user with Picturepark IDS as Identity Provider. If configured she can choose also another external identity provider (2) that will handle the authentication. 

In the Customer Default Settings, you can set the accent color for the IdP.

A meaningful name that is used as a reference, it cannot be changed afterward.

Type

ADFS

  • ADFS currently supported in Picturepark. 

  • Azure AD planned for support in upcoming releases. 

  • Others planned to support. 

This setting is currently not in use. It will be used to request different information per provider in one of the following releases. Ensure you choose the correct one already.

Connection protocol

OpenID Connect

IdP must support OpenID Connect. 

URL

https://ad.customer.ch/adfs

The Endpoint for OpenID with https. 

  1.  

    1. For ADFS something like https://ad.customer.com/adfs. Check this with your IT. 

    2. For other identity providers, it is the Open ID Connect configuration e.g.  https://login.microsoftonline.com/99292bdd-6686-4f0b-817b-f8e8571cf07c/v2.0/.well-know/openid-configuration
      (Remove everything after the version number of the open id config URL)

Warning

Do not use the /ls endpoint.

If your ADFS URL is https://adfs02.domain.com/adfs/ls then use the URL without /ls: https://adfs5684.domain.com/adfs. 

Client ID

Application ID e.g. 9df5684-1f10f-4125684-7feb535684

The ID of your application:

Client secret

This is not needed. You can leave this empty. 

The authentication flow is the definition of how the tokens to identify users are exchanged. Picturepark external Identity Provider must support Authorization Code Flow with PKCE. PKCE, pronounced “pixy” is an acronym for Proof Key for Code Exchange, which does not require users to provide a client_secret. The standard Authorization Code flow would require this. The main benefit is the reduced risk for native apps, as there are no embedded secrets in the source code and this in return limits exposure to reverse engineering. 

If the Identity Provider does not support Authorization Code Flow with PKCE, the Client secret can be used. Then the client secret must match the applications client secret. 

Sort order

0

A number, starting from 0 for the first position, and 1 as the second position.  

After Creating the Identity Provider

Info

Effects of Updating Identity Provider

  • Users cannot log in when their assigned Identity Provider is disabled.

  • The display name will be updated on the login screen. 

  • The type is not yet in use. 

  • The protocol cannot be changed. 

  • If you change the URL your users' login requests will from now on be sent to the new URL. 

  • If you change the client ID your users' login requests will from now on contain the new client ID, so you must ensure to have a working IdP with this client ID available. 

  • Changes to the Client secret have no effect if authorization code flow with PKCE is used, otherwise client secret must match with the application.

  • Changing the sort order will change the sort order of the buttons on the login form, where 0 is the first position.
