Enabling the social sign-up and social login for DevOps Loop

You can enable social authentication for users to sign up and log in to IBM® DevOps Loop by using a social network account. The Keycloak admin can configure this social sign-up in the Keycloak UI.

You must have completed the following tasks:

  • Installed DevOps Loop.
  • Assigned the role of a Keycloak Administrator.
  • Copied the URL of the Keycloak UI, username, and password on completion of the installation of the platform.
  • Obtained the credentials to access the dashboard of a social identity provider to configure the delegation of authentication to a social media account.
  • Read and understood Integrating identity providers.

The social sign-up link on the Login page of DevOps Loop is not visible when you install DevOps Loop by using the default values. The sign-up link is hidden to provide enhanced security to the platform. You can enable the sign-up link on the Login page when you want to provide self-registration of users in DevOps Loop.

The following procedure describes steps to be performed to enable the Sign up link by using Keycloak UI.

  1. Log in to the Keycloak Admin Console.
  2. Click Identity providers from the left navigation pane.
  3. Select an identity provider under the Social section.
    The configuration page for the selected identity provider is displayed.
  4. Enter the configuration details.
    The fields in the configuration page depend on the social identity provider that you have selected.
  5. Click Add to apply the changes.
You have enabled the social sign-up link on the Login page of DevOps Loop.
You must add the self-registered users to the Users group in the Keycloak Admin Console. See User access and administration using Keycloak.
