In order to provide External Authentication, you must create and properly configure an Identity Provider.
Important! We no longer support external authentication with Twitter or LinkedIn. If these were configured in the past, they might still work. However, adding or updating configuration for these may no longer work.
You'll need to recycle the app pool on your server immediately after enabling the Identity Provider. If Setup Admin is set to True on your User record, you will have a Restart Auth App button on your User Profile. Clicking that button will make the external authentication option available.
You may need to provide the following values if required by Identity Provider.
This is the base url for your MinistryPlatform installation ending in ministryplatform (and nothing else)
https://[YourDomain]/ministryplatform
This callback url is created by taking the guid from the Identity Provider and adding it to the base callback url.
The [IdentityProviderUniqueID] must be replaced with the ALL UPPERCASE guid from your Identity Provider record
https://[YourDomain]/ministryplatformapi/oauth/callback/[IdentityProviderUniqueID]
