OIDC Configuration

OIDC Configuration

Configure OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers for enterprise Single Sign-On.

Overview

Endpoint Discovery

Automatic Discovery

Mantis automatically discovers OIDC endpoints from the issuer URL:

# Discover endpoints before creating provider
curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "discovery_url": "https://company.okta.com"
    }' \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/discover"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "endpoints": {
    "authorization_endpoint": "https://company.okta.com/oauth2/v1/authorize",
    "token_endpoint": "https://company.okta.com/oauth2/v1/token",
    "userinfo_endpoint": "https://company.okta.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo",
    "jwks_uri": "https://company.okta.com/oauth2/v1/keys"
  },
  "error": null
}

Manual Endpoint Configuration

For providers without discovery support:

curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "name": "Custom IdP",
        "provider_type": "oidc",
        "issuer_url": "https://custom-idp.example.com",
        "client_id": "mantis",
        "client_secret": "secret",
        "discovery_url": "https://custom-idp.example.com/custom-discovery"
    }' \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers"

Testing Configuration

Connection Test

Verify the provider configuration is correct:

curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{}' \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/$IDP_ID/test"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Connection successful - all endpoints discovered",
  "details": {
    "discovery_reachable": true,
    "authorization_reachable": true,
    "token_reachable": true,
    "jwks_reachable": true,
    "response_time_ms": 125
  }
}

Test Login

After configuration, test the login flow:

1. Navigate to Lens UI login page
2. Click the SSO provider button
3. Authenticate with IdP
4. Verify redirect back to Mantis

Updating Configuration

Update Provider

curl -X PUT \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "name": "Okta Production (Updated)",
        "client_secret": "new-client-secret",
        "auto_create_users": false
    }' \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/$IDP_ID"

Enable/Disable Provider

# Disable provider
curl -X PUT \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"is_enabled": false}' \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/$IDP_ID"

Caution

Disabling a provider prevents all users from logging in via that provider. Existing sessions remain valid until expiration.

Client Secret Rotation

Rotation Process

1. Generate new secret in IdP admin console
2. Update Mantis with new secret:

   curl -X PUT \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{"client_secret": "new-rotated-secret"}' \
       "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/$IDP_ID"

3. Test connection to verify
4. Delete old secret in IdP admin console

Best Practices

• Rotate secrets at least annually
• Use automated rotation where supported
• Monitor for authentication failures after rotation

Deleting Providers

Prerequisites

Before deletion:

• Unlink all users from the provider
• Or migrate users to another provider

# Check linked users
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/$IDP_ID"
# Check user_count field

# Delete provider (fails if users linked)
curl -X DELETE \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://api.mantis.local/api/v1/admin/identity-providers/$IDP_ID"

Troubleshooting

Discovery Failed

Error: Failed to fetch OIDC discovery

1. Verify issuer URL is correct
2. Check network connectivity to IdP
3. Verify TLS certificates are valid

Invalid Client

Error: Token exchange failed: invalid_client

1. Verify client ID matches IdP configuration
2. Verify client secret is correct
3. Check token endpoint auth method

Redirect URI Mismatch

Error: The redirect_uri does not match

1. Verify callback URL in IdP matches exactly:

   https://your-mantis.com/api/v1/auth/oidc/callback

2. Check for trailing slashes
3. Verify protocol (http vs https)

Missing Claims

Error: ID token missing email claim

1. Check IdP configuration for claim mapping
2. Verify requested scopes include email
3. Update claim configuration in Mantis

Next Steps

• SSO Setup - Complete authentication setup
• Role Mappings - Configure group-to-role mappings
• External Identities - Manage user links
