Configure Single Sign On (SSO) login Solution using Discord as an Identity provider by miniorange helps users to easily and automatically sign-in to multiple apps/websites with single Discord login credentials. Discord Single Sign-On solution can be implemented by configuring Discord as IDP in miniOrange, where miniOrange will act as SP using OAuth Protocol. Here this document will guide you through the easy step-by-step process of configuring SSO login of websites/applications with Discord using OAuth protocol. As Discord follows Oauth 2.0 protocol, the additional benefit you will be getting with miniOrange brokering service is that irrespective of the protocol that your app follows like SAML, Oauth, JWT, you can easily login using Discord credentials. Once configured successfully your users will be able to securely access your website/application using their existing Discord credentials.

Step 4: Login using IDP selection page (Optional)

  • You can configure multiple IDPs (Identity Providers) and give users the option to select the IDP of their choice to authenticate with.
    For Example - It could be multiple AD domains belonging to different departments or multiple okta organizations.

    • Few usecases where customers configure multiple IDPs -

  • Suppose you have a product which many of your clients use and each client has their own unique IDP so you want them to SSO into your product as well using their existing IDP only. miniOrange provides a centralized way to connect with all IDPs in a very easy manner and integrate SSO into your application.
  • Suppose you are providing a course to many universities, each having a unique SAML, OAuth protocol supported IDP's like Shibboleth, ADFS, CAS, etc. You can provide Single Sign-On (SSO) into your course application to all these universities by integrating with all of them using a single platform provided by miniOrange.
  • This is the endpoint to call from your SAML application -
    For Cloud IDP - https://login.xecurify.com/moas/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>
    For On-Premise IDP - https://yourdomain.com/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>
  • You should copy the Customer Key from admin console-> Settings -> and replace it with <customer_id> here. Once configured in SP, when you initiate the login from Service Provider, a user will be redirected to IDP Selection Page listing all IDPs configured for that account.

    • You can see the screenshot below of the IDP Selection Page with a list of IDPs .

    Note: To view the IDP in drop-down list, go to Identity Providers tab > against your configured IDP > Select >Edit , here Enable the Show IdP to Users option.

    Select your IDP (Identity Provider) to login

  • You can also change the look and feel of this page. Login to miniOrange Admin console. Navigate to Customization -> Branding Configuration. See the below screenshot for reference-
