OpenID Connect - SSO

OpenID Connect allows your users to sign in using an external authentication provider instead of the Church Online Platform’s built-in login system.

Important: Once OpenID is activated, all users (including existing ones) must use your external provider to sign in.

Note: This setup requires a working knowledge of OpenID Connect specifications. If you’re unfamiliar, we strongly recommend working with a developer or someone experienced with OpenID Connect.

How to Set Up OpenID Connect

  1. Log in to the Admin.
  2. Go to Integrations > OpenID Connect.
  3. Click Set Up.

Configuration Steps

  • You’ll see callback URLs to use in your external provider settings.
  • Enter the required values:
    • Issuer URI
    • Client ID
    • Client Secret
  • Click Test Configuration to verify everything works.

Finalize Setup

  • If the test is successful, click Save and Activate.
  • If the test fails, troubleshoot the configuration or consult your provider’s documentation.

Troubleshooting

If there’s a problem with your OpenID provider, admin users may be locked out of the platform.

Workaround: Contact support to temporarily disable OpenID Connect. Once the issue with your provider is resolved, you can re-enable it from Admin > Integrations > OpenID Connect.
