LoginRadius As An Identity Provider
Offer your customers a more convenient, personalized experience by setting up a custom identity provider
Integrate Your OAuth 2 Client With LoginRadius
You can set up customized login providers for your website, where customers can use an existing account to log in, rather than going through the process of setting up a new account on your web properties.
The Technology Behind It All
OAuth (Open Authentication) 2 is a framework that authorizes and enables applications to obtain limited access to a user’s accounts on an HTTP service such as Facebook, GitHub, or DigitalOcean.
Why Bring Your Own Identity?
BYOI lets you provide a way for customers to use an account they already have, rather than creating a new one. By allowing your customers to log in with an existing set of credentials, you are making it simple and effortless for them to sign up for an account with you, increasing your overall conversion rate.
Get Valuable First-Party Data
With a custom identity provider, you get the valuable first-party data that is being collected through the authentication source. This is essentially a win-win situation, where your customers can easily sign up and enjoy the benefits of having an account with you, and you can gather additional data that you would otherwise not have access to.
How Does LoginRadius Work With Identity Providers?
LoginRadius acts both as a service provider (receiving the credentials from a third party) and an identity provider (relaying the authentication and verification to the website)
Receive log in request
LoginRadius, as the SP, receives the customer’s request to log in with the third-party provider.
Check with Identity Provider
The third-party provider then sends the identity authentication details to LoginRadius with the approval to authorize the customer.
Receive Authorization Token
LoginRadius receives the identity and authorization from the third-party provider to log the customer in.
Authenticate the Customer
LoginRadius, now acting as the IDP, sends this identity information to the website to enable it to authenticate the customer.
