Beginning in GlobalSearch 6.1, user authentication can be performed through 3rd party services including Okta and Azure Active Directory. Square 9 does not resell, support, or configure these authentication platforms, but customers leveraging a supported authentication provider can use these services to manage authentication from GlobalSearch. For providers that support it, support for SCIM provisioning of Groups and Users in GlobalSearch is also available.
Square 9's authentication model when working with 3rd party authentication services is based on OpenID Connect (OIDC). OIDC is a standards based layer built on top of OAuth 2.0. If you are using authentication services from a 3rd party provider, Square 9 does offer development services to extend the provider authentication model to other offerings. Contact your Square 9 sales agent for more details. Do note:
- Integration with 3rd party Auth providers requires the provider to support an OIDC login flow.
- Optionally, user provisioning can also be enabled for any providers that support SCIM 2.0.
