Vilans Protocollen OpenID application setup
Introduction
This article shows how to make an OpenID connection to the Vilans Protocollen application. The configuration takes place in HelloID and requires you to send information to Vilans.
Requirements
HelloID environment
Vilans Protocollen environment
Users who wish to make use of the SSO are required to have their email address in Vilans.
Create or Import a Certificate
If there is no certificate yet, a certificate must be imported or created. This can be done in the HelloID Administrator Portal under Settings > Certificates. For this tutorial, we will use a self-signed certificate. Learn more about certificates here.
Application Setup
Add the Vilans Protocollen Application
Create a new application in HelloID by navigating to Applications > Applications. Open the Application Catalogue and search for "Vilans". Find the OpenID template, and click Add. Learn more about managing applications here.
General tab
On the General tab, leave the Default Login URL field at its default setting. You will need to edit this field later, after Vilans activates the SSO and sends your customer-specific URL Click Next.
Single Sign-On tab
On the Single Sign-On tab, perform the following steps:
Provide a value in the Secret field. Make sure this secret has no special characters. We suggest a string of at least 52 characters with uppercase, lowercase and numbers.
In the Signing Certificate dropdown, select the certificate that you previously created or imported.
Change the Redirect Uri to the redirect Uri provided by Vilans. For example:
https://vilansmvp.b2clogin.com/vilansmvp.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authrespClick Next.
Self Service tab
On the Self Service tab, choose whether to automatically create a Self Service product, which makes the application requestable. This is optional. Click Next.
Finish tab
On the Finish tab, click Save to add the application to HelloID.
