Auxiliary applications (pipes)

You can configure Blitz Identity Provider to show an announcement to the user upon login. This can show the user one or two buttons, and the user’s choice can be analyzed in the login procedure.

To customize the display to the user of the ad, you need:

• create a login procedure based on the standard one;

• in the blitz.conf configuration file add the blitz.prod.local.idp.built-in-pipes section, in which you assign the id identifier and the type announcement type to the auxiliary application with the info type. The following announcement configurations are possible:

  • news - a single button is displayed,

  • agreement - two buttons are displayed;

• configure button and announcement texts.

Example configuration of two info helper applications with identifiers alarm and user_agreement:

"built-in-pipes": {
    "info": [
        {
            "id": "alarm",
            "type": "news"
        },
        {
            "id": "user_agreement",
            "type": "agreement"
        }
    ]
}

You can configure after login Blitz Identity Provider to show the user a selection box from a list of values and store the result of the selection in an attribute in the user’s account.

To customize the display of a list of values to the user:

• create a login procedure based on the standard one;

• in the blitz.conf configuration file add a section blitz.prod.local.idp.built-in-pipes in which to assign to the auxiliary application with type choice the identifier id and the name of the attribute claim in which to save the selection result;

• configure button and announcement texts.

Configuration example of the choice helper application:

"built-in-pipes": {
    "choice": [
        {
            "id": "select_value",
            "claim": "role"
        }
    ]
}
