Configuring an identity provider (IdP)
An identity provider (IdP) enables user authentication for logging in, accessing APIs, and managing multi-cloud deployments. As a tenant administrator, you can configure and manage IdPs in the Administration activity center.
Configuring an interactive IdP for user login
Set up an interactive IdP to enable user login. Choose the authentication standard that your IdP supports:
-
OpenID Connect (OIDC)
-
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
Each Qlik Cloud tenant can only have one active interactive IdP at a time. When you deploy your corporate IdP, it replaces the default Qlik Account login flow with the authentication process defined by your chosen IdP.
Configuring an interactive OIDC IdP
Set up an OIDC identity provider for interactive login. For detailed steps, see Configuring an interactive OIDC IdP.
Configuring an interactive SAML IdP
Set up a SAML identity provider for interactive login. For detailed steps, see Configuring an interactive SAML IdP.
Supported identity providers
Qlik Cloud supports multiple identity providers, including:
-
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
-
Okta
-
Auth0
-
Other providers that support OIDC or SAML
Handling SSO failures
SSO failure handling must be configured through your identity provider. Qlik Cloud does not support configuring a fallback redirect URL.
Configuring an IdP for multi-cloud deployments
For seamless identity management across multi-cloud environments, configure a multi-cloud IdP with a local bearer token. For details on setting up a multi-cloud deployment, see Distributing apps to Qlik Cloud.
Configuring a JWT IdP
A JSON Web Token (JWT) IdP is designed for embedded use cases where an external, customer-provided portal manages authentication and logs users into Qlik Cloud in the background.
Use OAuth instead of JWT whenever possible. JWT authentication requires third-party cookie support, which some browsers and organizations disable by default.
For more information, see Qlik Developer portal: Implement JWT Authorization.
