The workflow to implement an SSF provider as a [backchannel provider](../../applications/manage_apps#backchannel-providers) for an application/provider pair is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Create the SSF provider (which serves as the backchannel provider).
|
|
2. Create an OIDC provider (which serves as the protocol provider for the application).
|
|
3. Create the application, and assign both the OIDC provider and the SSF provider.
|
|
|
|
## Create the SSF provider
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and in the Admin interface navigate to **Applications -> Providers**.
|
|
|
|
2. Click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
3. In the modal, select the **Provider Type** of **SSF**, and then click **Next**.
|
|
|
|
4. On the **New provider** page, provide the configuration settings. Be sure to select a **Signing Key**.
|
|
|
|
5. Click **Finish** to create and save the provider.
|
|
|
|
## Create the OIDC provider
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and in the Admin interface navigate to **Applications -> Providers**.
|
|
|
|
2. Click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
3. In the modal, select the **Provider Type** of **OIDC**, and then click **Next**.
|
|
|
|
4. Define the settings for the provider, and then click **Finish** to save the new provider.
|
|
|
|
## Create the application
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and in the Admin interface navigate to **Applications -> Applications**.
|
|
|
|
2. Click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
3. Define the settings for the application:
|
|
|
|
- **Name**: define a descriptive name of the application.
|
|
- **Slug**: optionally define the internal application name used in URLs.
|
|
- **Group**: optionally select a group that you want to have access to this application.
|
|
- **Provider**: select the OIDC provider that you created.
|
|
- **Backchannel Providers**: select the SSF provider you created.
|
|
- **Policy engine mode**: define policy-based access.
|
|
- **UI Settings**: optionally define a launch URL, an icon, and other UI elements.
|
|
|
|
4. Click **Create** to save the new application.
|
|
|
|
The new application, with its OIDC provider and the backchannel SFF provider, should now appear in your list of Applications.
