Configuring the Introductions Class

The Introduction class determines whether the user can select an identity provider to trust when Identity Server is acting as a service provider. The default behavior is for introductions to happen automatically, thus allowing single sign-on. Identity Server passively checks with the identity providers, one at time, to see if they can authenticate the service provider. If the identity provider can authenticate the user and the Introductions class is enabled, the user is presented with one or more cards that look similar to the following:

The small check mark indicates to the user that this is a possible card. When the user hovers over the card, the description appears. If the user selects one of these cards, the user is automatically authenticated.

To configure the Introductions class:

  1. Click Devices > Identity Server > Servers > Edit > Local > Classes > Introductions.

  2. Click Properties > New, then specify the following values.

    Property Name: Specify ShowUser.

    Property Value: Specify true.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Return to the Servers page, then update the Identity Server.

  5. When you configure this class, you need to also enable the Use Introductions option. Continue with Configuring the General Identity Consumer Settings.
