What to do next

  • Create the users that will sign in through the provider as Identity provider (Idp) users in User & Role Management, bound to a BigFix operator. See Creating a new user.
  • Ask a test user to click Log in via OIDC, authenticate at the provider, and confirm that the BigFix UI dashboard opens. See Logging in with OIDC.
  • To temporarily stop OIDC logins without losing the configuration, turn off the OIDC enabled toggle. To remove the configuration, click the Delete (trash can) icon.
