OpenID Connect
Learn how to configure a new OpenID Connect (OIDC) Connection
Introduction
Each SSO Identity Provider requires specific information to create and configure a new Connection. Often, the information required to create a Connection will differ by Identity Provider.
To create an OpenID Connect (OIDC) Connection, you'll need four pieces of information: a Redirect URI, a Client ID, a Client Secret, and a Discovery Endpoint.
WorkOS provides the Redirect URI. It's readily available in your Connection's Settings in the Developer Dashboard.
The Redirect URI is the location an Identity Provider redirects its authentication response to.
And then, you provide the Client ID, Client Secret, as well as the Discovery Endpoint.
Normally, this information will come from your Enterprise customer's IT Management team when they set up your application's OpenID Connect configuration in their Identity Provider admin dashboard. But, should that not be the case during your setup, here's how to obtain them.
