Add your own identity provider​

Calico Cloud works with any identity provider that supports OpenID Connect. For example, OKTA, Google, and Azure AD.

To add an identity provider, open a Support ticket.

Azure AD requirements​

To add Azure AD as your identity provider, create an Active Directory "App Registration" with a Redirect URI of type "Web" set to https://auth.calicocloud.io/login/callback.

Enable "ID Token" for implicit flows.

Add the following Microsoft Graph API delegated permissions:

  • User.Read
  • OpenId permissions:
    • email
    • openid
    • profile
