OpenID authentication
If you're a Control Center administrator, you can use Control Center to add and manage OpenID authentication configurations for an organization.
Create OpenID authentication configuration
For more information about using OpenID Connect for authentication with the Pismo platform, see Authentication with OpenID Connect.
To add an OpenID authentication configuration to an organization, you must provide a public encryption key for use when authenticating with the Pismo platform. You also must specify one of the following authentication types:
- Standard—Gives the organization access to all Pismo endpoints that the customer has access to. It is managed internally by the Pismo platform.
- Third party—Gives access to selected Pismo endpoints, based on OIDC permission groups. This method is typically managed for you by a third-party provider and is not available through the Pismo Call Center.
Only Standard authentication is available within Control Center. For more information on Third party authentication, refer to Third-party authentication with OpenID Connect.
To create an OpenID authentication configuration:
- From the main menu, select Users & permissions > OpenID.
- On the OpenID screen, select Create.
- On the Create new OpenID screen, select one of the following authentication types:
- Standard
- Third-party
- Provide the public encryption key, either by pasting it onto the Public key field or dragging a text file into the upload area of the screen, then select Create.
