Edit OpenID 2.0

IMPORTANT
As of December 1, 2020 the OpenID 2.0 integration option described in this topic is deprecated and is no longer available for new product integrations. Existing integrations that use OpenID 2.0 continue to work. For enhanced security, AppDirect recommends that you use OpenID Connect or SAML to authenticate applications, and that you migrate existing products that use OpenID 2.0 to one of those authentication methods.

The AppDirect platform acts as an OpenID identity provider to support single sign-on (SSO) for applications. This topic covers the steps you need to take to configure OpenID 2.0 authentication for single sign-on (SSO).

For technical OpenID integration topics, see Integrate OpenID 2.0.

To edit OpenID 2.0 authentication

  1. Click Manage > Billing and Distribution > Products > productName | **Edit >**Integration | Edit Authentication. The Edit Authentication page opens.
  2. (Optional) If the product you are editing is an add-on product, two additional toggle settings appear at the top of the Single Sign-On pane. Note that you can only select one of them. The optional settings are:
    • Use Parent Application Authentication Method—Select this setting if you want the product to inherit the same authentication settings as the parent product with which the add-on is associated.
    • Hide Application Tile—Select this setting to hide the application tile on the user's MyApps page. Note that this also turns off single sign-on for this product.
      Note: If you configure either of the settings described in this step, all other authentication fields described in the following steps disappear. Proceed to step 11 to save your settings.
  3. Under Single Sign On, select OpenID 2.0, then enter the Login URL. For information about the Login URL configuration, and the required format, see Login URL.

IMPORTANT
As of December 2, 2020 this option is no longer available. Instead, you can select another SSO method. It is recommended that you update any existing SSO integrations that use OpenID 2.0 to a more up-to-date method. If you do this, you cannot revert back to OpenID 2.0. See Edit authentication for more information about available methods.

  1. Enter the OpenID Realm. For information about the OpenID Realm configuration, and the required format, see OpenID Realm, in this section.
  2. Click Save. A confirmation message appears. You are now ready to configure the OpenID provider endpoint requests. This configuration occurs outside of AppDirect. See OpenID provider endpoint for more information.
  3. (Optional). If the product is defined as importable when it is created, an Import Setup Form pane appears on the Edit Authentication page. The purpose of this form is to collect the information necessary to connect the application to the company when Company Administrators are importing an application. For more information on how to configure this form, see Configure the Import Setup Form for information on how to configure this form.
