IdentityServer question

Support
1

I am a little confused on this so some help and advice would be appreciated.

I am planning to use Squidex as part of a bigger development for a customer - there will be a CMS aspect, plus other functionality. There will be a standalone IdentityServer based setup to which all users will authenticate for SSO. So a content creator would authenticate with our IdentityServer, click on a link and go to the Squidex UI and already be signed in or if an unauthenticated user went straight to the Squidex URL they would be redirected to our IdentityServer signin page.

Can the cloud hosted Squidex use a standalone IdentityServer?
Can a self hosted Squidex use a standalone IdentityServer?
I don’t really understand the purpose of Squidex.IdentityServer.

No

Can a self hosted Squidex use a standalone IdentityServer?
Yes, see: https://github.com/Squidex/squidex/blob/master/src/Squidex/appsettings.json#L450

I don’t really understand the purpose of Squidex.IdentityServer.
Squidex Identity can be used to add a login to your site or app for your end users. So you manage them in Squidex itself.

That makes sense thanks.

So If I set the OIDC settings in appsettings.json it will pick up my IdentityServer and use it? I will give it a go.
