Authentication Methods

Info

If you want to authenticate against the API using a personal access token, please refer to the API documentation.

The Capella Collaboration Manager is developed to work together with OpenID Connect (OIDC) compliant identity providers. Since we don't support any other authentication methods, it is required to have an OIDC compliant identity provider to use the Capella Collaboration Manager.

The authentication has to be configured in the backend.authentication section of the values.yaml.

If no running OpenID Connect server is available in your environment, you can set up Keycloak as an intermediate identity provider. Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management solution that supports many common protocols like OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, LDAP, and others.
