ID Provider

Details on the ID Providers supported by the CDM-Server and how to configure .env.idp file.

Tags:

The CDM-Server supports various ID Providers (IdP) for authentication and user management. You need to choose one according to your organization’s requirements and configure it accordingly.

What is the Benefit

Main reason to use non-local IdP is to allow users to use their existing corporate credentials to log in to the CDM-Server.

The CDM-Server supports the following ID Providers:

Local - Users are managed internally by the CDM-Server. Easiest to set up and use.
LDAPS - Users are managed by an LDAP server. Requires an external LDAP server present.
Azure - CDM-Server uses Microsoft Azure for authentication.

How to Configure

The ID Provider configuration is done using the .env.idp file.
For information about .env file, please go to the Setting Up .env File page.

WARNING

At this moment, you can not change the ID provider once the server is started. Please be sure to finalize the configuration before starting the server.
