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

1. Select the Parties tab and then the Up-parties
2. Click Create up-party and then Track link
3. Add the name e.g., track_y-connection
4. Add the track_y track name
5. Add the down-party name in the track_y track e.g., track_x-connection
6. Click Create

2 - Then go to the track_y track and create a track link in FoxIDs Control Client

1. Select the Parties tab and then the Down-parties
2. Click Create down-party and then Track link
3. Add the name e.g., track_x-connection
4. Add the track_x track name
5. Add the up-party name in the track_x track e.g., track_y-connection
6. Select which up-parties in the track_y track the user is allowed to use for authentication
7. 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 you track_x track.
The down-parties in you track_x track can read the claims from your track_y-connection up-party.
