WebClient login without pressing button for external IDP

Hi all!

I have configured Milestone XProtect 2024 R1 to use an external IDP.

When I open the WebClient URL, I am taken to the login page where I could click the button to perform login via the external IDP.

Is there a simple way to login to WebClient without this intermediate step (i.e. pressing the button)?

The hard way would be something like:

  1. Calling XPMobileSDK APIs to get external providers
  2. Calling APIs to get configuration of the external provider
  3. Redirecting to the IDP URL with https://:8082/index.html as redirect URL

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Ludvik

Hi Ludvik,

Thank you for contacting us.

The steps you’ve described are the correct approach. Typically, when integrating with an external Identity Provider (IDP), users are required to click a login button to initiate the authentication process. This additional step is standard practice and helps ensure that users are intentionally opting to sign in via the external provider.
