Before you add an identity provider, you must register Paragon Automation with the identity provider. While registering, you must provide the URL where you would be hosting Paragon Automation; see Configure Portal Settings.

To add an identity provider to Paragon Automation, you will need the following information from the identity provider:

The link to the authentication server of the identity provider (known as issuer).
Client ID and Client secret.

You can obtain the client ID and client secret details from the identity provider when you register with the identity provider.

Paragon Automation allows you to add OpenID Connect and Google as identity providers.

To add an identity provider:

Select Administration > Authentication > Identity Providers on the left navigation menu.
The Identity Providers page appears. If no identity providers are configured, the Identity Providers page has the Add Identity Provider button to add an identity provider. If an identity provider is already added, the page lists the details of the identity provider in tabular format.
Click Add Identity Provider if you are adding an identity provider for the first time or else, click the Add (+) icon.
The Add Identity Provider page appears.
Enter values as described in Table 1.

Note:
Fields marked with * are mandatory.
Click OK.
A confirmation message appears indicating that the identity provider is added successfully and the identity provider is listed on the Identity Providers page.

Table 1 displays the fields on the Add Identity Providers page.
