The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to configure and authenticate OpenID Connect for the workspace. The OpenID Connect protocol ( OIDC) is an identity authentication protocol and can be used to enable two unrelated applications to share user profile information without compromising user credentials.
Configure OpenID Connect
Go to https://se.barracudanetworks.com and log in with your existing Barracuda Cloud Control account.
In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon and select the workspace you want to configure OpenID Connect as an identity provider for.
In the left menu, click Identity > Settings.
The Settings page opens. In the Identity Providers section, click Add Identity Provider.
From the drop-down menu, select OpenID Connect.
The Add Identity Provider page opens. Specify the values for the following:
Display Name – Enter display name.
Discovery URL – Enter the discovery URL. Note: In this case we are using Google OpenID Connect.
Client ID – Enter the client ID.
Client Secret – Enter the client secret.
Scope – Enter the scope.
Click Save.
Authenticate with your identity provider. Provide your admin OpenID Connect credentials and click Sign in.
In the Identity Providers table, you can see that the identity provider OpenID Connect has been added and that under the fieldname STATUS the text now states Active with a green check mark.
