Authentication
Governance Studio requires an OpenID Connect (OIDC) compatible identity provider for user authentication and authorization.
Supported Authentication Providers
Section titled “Supported Authentication Providers”Governance Studio supports the following identity providers:
- Auth0 - Okta-owned identity platform with comprehensive OIDC support
- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) - Microsoft’s enterprise identity platform
- Keycloak - Open-source identity and access management
Choosing a Provider
Section titled “Choosing a Provider”Select an authentication provider based on your organization’s requirements:
- Auth0: Best for organizations seeking a managed identity platform with minimal infrastructure overhead
- Microsoft Entra ID: Ideal for enterprises already using Microsoft 365 or Azure services
- Keycloak: Suitable for organizations requiring self-hosted, open-source identity management
The platform will automatically integrate with your chosen provider using the OIDC standard.
There is no Okta provider mode. The okta value is reserved but not implemented, and selecting it fails at startup. Connect Okta through generic OIDC instead: set the provider to generic and configure it with your Okta issuer and OIDC endpoints.
