Create an third-party OIDC application in Console

Just like how you create a first-party application in Logto, you can also create an application for third-party services that support OIDC. This application will act as an IdP for your third-party applications.

  1. Go to the Logto Console and navigate to the Applications page.

  2. Select "Third-party app -> OIDC" as the application type.

    If this is the first time you create an application, click on the View all link to see all application types. application list

    Otherwise, click on the Create application button on the top right corner of the page and select "Third-party app -> OIDC" as the application type. create application

  3. Just like creating a Logto first-party application, enter a name and description for your application and click on the Create button. A new third-party OIDC application will be created.

Setup the OIDC configurations​

In order to set up Logto as an IdP for your third-party applications, you need to configure the OIDC settings under the application details page.

  1. Provide the redirect URI of your third-party application. This is the URL that the third-party application will redirect users to after they are authenticated by Logto. You can usually find this information in the third-party application's IdP connection settings page.

    note

    Logto supports multiple redirect URIs. You can add more redirect URIs by clicking on the Add another button.

  3. Retrieve the authorization endpoint and token endpoint from Logto application details page and provide them to your service provider.

    If your service provider supports OIDC discovery, you can simply copy the discovery endpoint from Logto application details page and provide it to your service provider. The service provider will be able to retrieve all the up to date OIDC authentication information from the discovery endpoint automatically.
