Returned Values

Returns a non-nullable IdentityProviderAuthentication interface object. The concrete returned type is either OidcIdentityProvider (for OIDC-based providers) or SamlIdentityProvider (for SAML-based providers). Identity fields include id (the provider's unique identifier) and name. Behavioral fields include defaultIdp (whether this is the default provider for the organization), humioManaged (whether LogScale manages authentication internally rather than delegating to an external provider), lazyCreateUsers (whether users are provisioned just-in-time on first login rather than pre-created), debug (whether debug mode is enabled), and domains (the list of email domains associated with this provider). The table below lists all fields:
