Configuration interface while adding a new Identity Provider.

It is possible to configure Identity Providers here, which can be used to authenticate users in forms in this Xima® Formcycle client. If an identity provider is supposed to be available in all clients, it can be configured in the System settings instead.

Create new Identity Provider

By clicking on the button in the upper left corner, a new Identity Provider can be created. At first 4 buttons appear, by which the type of identity provider must be selected. The following types of Identity Providers are available:

OpenID Connect

SAML 2.0

Facebook

Google

The individual options for configuring these identity providers are described in detail on the linked subpages.

Delete existing Identity Provider

After an entry has been selected in the list of identity providers, it is deleted by pressing the button and confirming the dialog that opens.

Use data of the logged in user in forms

The user data returned upon login can be used, among other things, to fill form fields. For this purpose, the placeholders [%$USER%], [%$LAST_USER%] and [%$INITIAL_USER%] can be set as values in form elements. Alternatively, this data can be accessed in JavaScript through the XFC METADATA object XFC_METADATA.user.
