Ceptor has custom support for some identity providers which almost are following the OpenID Connect standard, such as LinkedIn and Facebook.

Clients / Partners

Depending on configured plugin, and general deployment of Ceptor, you have different options available for configuring Clients or Partners.

With API Management, you typically use an SQL based datastore to store the partners in - and you offer A Developer Portal for self-registration of partners - see Managing Partners, Applications and Developers
For smaller scale deployments, it is also possible to use the configuration-based store for clients, which stores clients / partners in the configuration instead.

Or alternatively, you can provide your own implementation using whatever datastore you wish.

Only one implementation can be active at a time, this is controlled by the OAuth2 Client Datastore class which decides the implementation to use.

SAML / WebSSO

Concepts

Ceptor can be configured to use SAML / WebSSO (Web Single SignOn) to federate identity to or from 3rd parties.
