cidaas on NetBird Cloud

Updated

You can use cidaas as your Identity Provider with NetBird, but it will require some additional configuration steps. cidaas is a cloud-native Identity and Access Management platform that provides single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, user self-service, and fine-grained authorization.

Support for OIDC-compliant IdPs is available on the Team plan and higher. The Free plan supports Google, Microsoft, and social logins.

Log in to your cidaas tenant's admin console (e.g., https://<your-tenant>.cidaas.eu). Click Apps in the left-hand sidebar, select App Settings, then click + Create New App.

This opens the Create App form, which is divided into three sections: App Details, App Settings, and Company Details.
