The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to configure OpenID Connect. 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 service 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:

Authenticate with your identity provider. Provide your admin OpenID Connect credentials and click Sign in.
