Info

In some cases (e.g. with Google), specific users have to be further defined in Therefore™ before they can use the OpenID authentication:

1.In the Therefore™ Solution Designer, select 'New SAML/OIDC User'.

2.Define the specific user in the SAML User Properties dialog.

Info

Note:

•For a generic OIDC it is always required to manually create the user before configuring the authentication.

•For the Auto-Detect feature, a custom client will need to be defined in the external directory like Google (similar as with configuring Google Drive). The Auto-detect feature allows loading most of the settings automatically from a defined discovery URL – For Google this is the following URL:https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration - click here for further details.
