Connect your identity provider

Kinescope needs the client ID, the client secret and the provider URL. The redirect URI is the same for every provider.
Keycloak

1. Create a client with Standard flow and Client authentication turned on.
2. Add https://app.kinescope.io/api/oauth2/callback/sso to Valid redirect URLs.
3. Create the Kinescope client roles, link them to your roles in Associated roles, and give Kinescope the client ID, the client secret and the provider URL.

Keycloak client settings: Client authentication and Standard flow are turned on, the Kinescope redirect URI is added
AD FS

1. Create an Application Group with a Server Application that uses the same redirect URI.
2. Generate a shared secret, add a Web API with the client identifier and permit the openid, profile, email, allatclaims and aza scopes.
3. Add issuance transform rules that map LDAP attributes and roles to the Kinescope roles.

AD FS Issuance Transform Rules: rules mapping Course editors, Teachers and Managers to Kinescope roles appear one by one

FAQ

The setup guides cover Keycloak and AD FS. Kinescope needs the client ID, the client secret and the provider URL, and uses the redirect URI https://app.kinescope.io/api/oauth2/callback/sso.

From your identity provider. Create the client roles kinescope-admin, kinescope-editor_plus, kinescope-editor, kinescope-manager, kinescope-accountant or kinescope-viewer and link them to your roles: people get the matching role in Kinescope when they sign in.

The Mega plan.
