OpenID Connect Premium
The OpenID Connect Premium module expands authentication flexibility by allowing connections to otherwise unsupported directories, including Amazon Cognito.
Features
- Integrate the iMIS OIDC module with directories that are not natively supported.
- Configure single logout between iMIS and your external identity provider to maintain consistent session control.
- Assign separate directories for iMIS public users and staff users.
- Connect multiple directories and present users with a selectable list of sign-in options at login.
Limitations
Consider the following when implementing OIDC Premium:
- When external directories are enabled in iMIS EMS, the following restrictions apply:
- First name, Last name, and Primary Email Address fields in RiSE are marked read-only and not able to be updated.
- Attempting to change these fields through the REST API results in an error being returned.
- These fields are synchronized from the directory during user sign-in, and should be updated in the connected directory.
- New contact or user creation logic is limited to iMIS out of the box functionality. For example, member type follows the “New Web Member Type” setting in iMIS.
- Custom security roles, groups, committees, panel records, and other supplemental data are not able to be synced during the sign-in process directly. This requires a custom integration or code separate from Cloud SSO.
- Staff and public users sharing a single directory for sign-in must have a custom claim added to their directory’s user record that denotes if they are a staff user or not; this claim must be a string or number (not an array) and visible in either the Access Token, ID Token, or Userinfo endpoint.
- SAML, SCIM, and WS-FED are currently not supported by Cloud SSO Professional and Enterprise; only OpenID Connect IdPs may be used.
