OpenID Connect as a log in method via the Enterprise Manager API
From Enterprise Manager May 2023, customers can use OpenID Connect to log in to Enterprise Manager via the API. OpenID Connect provides an extra layer of security as only users with a specially generated Personal Access Token can access Enterprise Manager.
