External IDP through Rest API

Hello,

How should authentication to the REST API be done when an external identity provider has been set up? Does the internal IDP redirects requests to the external IDP ? Or must we directly authenticate to the external IDP ?

Have you explored the OAuth Login Flow sample?

https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/protocolsamples/oauthloginflow/readme.html&tree=tree_3.html

I have an idea that I will answer your questions, if it doesn’t please ask further questions after having had a look into the sample..

Thanks for your help

This sample does answer my question I think. I was actually browsing the Rest API documentation. Maybe adding a sample there, or at least a link to the Protocol sample, would help

Many thanks !

You have a good point, I will discuss with some people here at Milestone if we could better the documentation on REST and IDP.

Thank you for the feedback.
