Interconnect two FoxIDs tracks with a track link
FoxIDs tracks in the same tenant can be connected with track links. A track link acts mostly like OpenID Connect but it is simpler to configure and the steps it goes through is faster.
Therefor a login sequence that jumps between tracks will execute faster using a track link competed with using OpenID Connect. But an OpenID connect connection is required if you need to jump between tracks located in different tenants.
Track links support login, RP-initiated logout and front-channel logout. Furthermore, it is possible to configure claim and claim transforms, logout session and home realm discovery (HRD) like all other connecting up-parties and down-parties.
Configure integration
The following describes how to connect two tracks called track_x
and track_y
where track_y
become an up-party on track_x
.
1 - Start in the track_x
track by creating a track link in FoxIDs Control Client
- Select the Parties tab and then the Up-parties
- Click Create up-party and then Track link
- Add the name e.g.,
track_y-connection
- Add the
track_y
track name - Add the down-party name in the
track_y
track e.g.,track_x-connection
- Click Create
2 - Then go to the track_y
track and create a track link in FoxIDs Control Client
- Select the Parties tab and then the Down-parties
- Click Create down-party and then Track link
- Add the name e.g.,
track_x-connection
- Add the
track_x
track name - Add the up-party name in the
track_x
track e.g.,track_y-connection
- Select which up-parties in the
track_y
track the user is allowed to use for authentication - Click Create
That's it, you are done.
Your new up-party
track_y-connection
can now be selected as an allowed up-party in the down-parties in youtrack_x
track.
The down-parties in youtrack_x
track can read the claims from yourtrack_y-connection
up-party.
