Configuring an IBM Content Navigator WebSphere Application Server instance for OAuth/OIDC

You can prepare your IBM® Content Navigator WebSphere Application Server instance for OAuth/OIDC Identity Provider support by running a task in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment tool.

Using the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment tool, update the following options for the Configure the IBM Content Navigator Web Application task:

IBM Content Navigator authentication

Select Application server form-based authentication from the drop-down list.

JDBC data source name

The name of the data source that you created to enable IBM Content Navigator to communicate with the IBM Content Navigator database table.

OAuth/OIDC Support

Select the Enable OAuth/OIDC Identity Provider support checkbox if you plan to use an OAuth/OIDC Identity Provider to authenticate users to IBM Content Navigator. Select the Enable OAuth/OIDC SSO to Content Platform Engine checkbox if Content Platform Engine will also be configured with OAuth/OIDC support. When this option is selected, OAuth/OIDC SSO is used between IBM Content Navigator and Content Platform Engine. Otherwise, LTPA SSO is used between IBM Content Navigator and Content Platform Engine.

Login page URL, Login error page URL

To present users with a login window that allows them to select which IdP they want to authenticate with (if multiple are configured), set the options as follows:

Login page URL: /idplogin.jsp
Login error page URL: /loginError.jsp
