Configure single sign-on with OIDC

Follow these steps to enable single sign-on (SSO) with OpenID Connect (OIDC) in your DigiCert​​®​​ account account. If another sign-in method is also enabled, users can choose which method to use.

Prerequisites

Before configuring OIDC in DigiCert​​®​​ account:

  • Have administrator access to your company's identity provider (IDP) service, such as PingOne and Okta.

  • Register DigiCert​​®​​ account as an OIDC application with your identity provider (IDP).

  • Configure your IDP to send a preferred_username claim in the ID token.

Tip

To learn how to register applications for OIDC and configure claims, refer to the documentation for your IDP.

Configure SSO with OIDC in DigiCert​​®​​ account

  1. Sign in to your DigiCert® account.

  2. In the DigiCert account menu, go to Accounts icon > Sign-in methods.

  3. Select Single-Sign-On with OIDC.

  4. The Connect DigiCert to your IdP section, provides you with details you'll need to provide to your IdP when creating the DigiCert​​®​​ account application:

    1. Redirect URI

      When users sign in to an OIDC-enabled account, your OIDC service generates an authentication response and token ID. The OIDC service sends this authentication information back to DigiCert​​®​​ account using this URL.

    2. Login URL

      DigiCert-provided URL that users can access to sign in to DigiCert​​®​​ account using OIDC-based SSO.

    3. Logout URL

      Your OIDC provider uses the logout endpoint to sign the user out of any applications they have logged into via the provider.

  5. After creating your application in your IdP, provide these details in the Connect your IdP to DigiCert section:

    1. Provider URL

      The URL of your IdP's OIDC discovery endpoint, used by DigiCert to retrieve metadata for authentication. It often follows the format: https://<your-idp-domain>/.well-known/openid-configuration.

    2. Client ID

      ID from your IdP that DigiCert​​®​​ account can use to identify itself in requests to your OIDC service.

    3. Client secret

      Password from your IdP that DigiCert​​®​​ account can use to authenticate requests to your OIDC service.

    4. ID token audience

      Intended recipient of ID tokens your OIDC service generates. Must match the ID token audience configured in your IdP.

      Tip

      These values are usually found in in your IdP dashboard, under Authentication or OIDC settings.

  6. Once both steps are completed, In the Enable/Disable SSO with OIDC section, toggle the button to enable SSO with SAML.

  7. Select Save configuration.
