Configuring an Identity Provider

Security Requirements and Controls

Learn how to configure Identity Providers within an organization, including prerequisites such as having Organization Owner status and proper authentication provider setup. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for accessing and configuring identity providers through the Organization Settings menu, covering options for social login accounts (Google, Github, Bitbucket) and the setup of SAML 2.0 or OIDC providers.

A few pre-requisites must be met before you can manage the identity providers for your Organization:

  • You have to be an Organization Owner to set up authentication. If you're not, ask whoever is to promote you.

  • You'll have to have an authentication provider set up already — they're listed above in this page.

To configure your Identity Provider:

  1. From any screen of the User Interface, click on the menu below your avatar in the top right corner to open the Account Menu:

  2. Select Organization Settings

  3. From the tree on the left click Identity Providers

  4. Decide whether you want to enable the social login accounts for each built-in Identity Provider (Google, Github, Bitbucket) — click Settings under any of them and choose to enable/disable accounts, or to enable just some specified users in the allow-list.

  5. From the Add IDP configuration dropdown, choose a specific identity provider to configure — can be SAML 2.0 or OIDC, they are both described further down.

The page displays existing provider configurations with options to enable social login accounts (Google, Github, Bitbucket) and add new SAML 2.0 or OIDC provider configurations through a dropdown menu. This interface allows administrators to control how users authenticate with LogScale.
