Log in via an external IDP

You can log into XProtect Smart Client and XProtect Management Client using an external IDP.

1. Under Authentication in the login dialog box in XProtect Smart Client or XProtect Management Client, select the external IDP and select Sign in. On your first login, you will be redirected to a web page belonging to the external IDP.

2. Provide your user name and password and sign in. After you have signed in, you will return to the XProtect client and you are logged in.

Under Tools > Options > External IDP, you can configure the name of the external IDP that is shown on the Authentication list.

If the external IDP is disabled by, for example, a restore or a change of password, the option to log in via an external IDP is not available on the Authentication list. Also, if the external IDP is disabled, the client secret received from the external IDP disappears from the Client secret field on the External IDP tab under Tools > Options.
