Configuring an Identity Provider consists of the following steps:

  1. Specifies the vendor ID and vendor name.

  2. Specifying the connection settings to the provider (described separately for each of the identity providers).

  3. Specifying the settings for linking the account of the external identity provider and the Blitz Identity Provider account. These settings are not provider-type specific.
