IAM access for openpages, App ID, identity provider, IdP
openpages

{{site.data.keyword.attribute-definition-list}}

Connecting to an external identity provider for authentication

{: #iam-appid}

You can connect your external identity provider to an {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} App ID instance, and then configure that App ID to connect directly to {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} Identity and Access Management (IAM) to federate authentication users of an enterprise to an {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} account. {: shortdesc}

Configuring App ID and IAM

{: #iam-appid-config}

To configure App ID, do the following steps:

  1. Configure the integration by doing the steps in the following topic: Configuring App ID with your identity provider.

    The topic discusses watsonx, but the steps are the same for {{site.data.keyword.openpages_short}}. {: tip}

  2. Get the URL for your identify provider.

    Click Manage Access (IAM), and then click Identity providers.

    • If you have only one identity provider, copy the default URL.
    • If you have more than one identity provider, click the actions icon for the identify provider and click View IdP URL. Copy the URL.

  3. Test the identity provider URL. Verify that your {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} dashboard is displayed after the external identity provider authentication.

Onboarding users

{: #iam-appid-users}

Give the identity provider URL to your users. Ask them to log in by using the identity provider URL. After they log in successfully, they are added to {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} IAM.

Next, give the users access to {{site.data.keyword.openpages_short}}. For more information, see Managing IAM access for {{site.data.keyword.openpages_short}}.

Results

{: #iam-appid-result}

Users must now use the identity provider URL to access {{site.data.keyword.openpages_short}}.

The log in experience for users now follows these steps:

  1. A user goes to the identity provider URL. The identity provider page is displayed.
  2. The user authenticates with the identity provider. The user's {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} dashboard is displayed.
  3. The user can access {{site.data.keyword.openpages_short}} through the Resource List. Alternatively, the user can create a bookmark.
