Register the identity provider for your app

The
BlackBerry AppSecure SDK
 reuses the existing user identity within your application to facilitate getting the latest security threat information from the
BlackBerry
 Cloud. The library works with your user identity and management systems to provide strong authentication and authorization.
In practice, an
OpenID Connect
 Identity Token belonging to the user that is currently logged in is provided to the
BlackBerry AppSecure SDK
 runtime.
BlackBerry
 validates this token against your identity provider's token introspection endpoint. This process avoids the need to rely on an application-specific API key.
You can use any identity provider as long as it is compliant with
OpenID Connect
 (https://openid.net/connect/). For more information, see Information about compliant IDPs.
If you don't have an identity provider, you can use
Firebase
 as your identity provider (IDP).
When the IDP is registered, you are provided a
BlackBerry
 App Client ID which you add to your app.
  1. In your organization's
    BlackBerry
     Online Account, on the navigation menu, click
    Applications
    .
  2. Click your app.
  3. On the
    IDP
     tab, in the
    Identity Provider
     section, do the following:.
    1. In the
      Discovery URL
       field, type the discovery URL of the identity provider.
    2. In the
      Client ID
       field, type the Authorized Client ID.
    No other fields are required.
  4. Click
    Register IDP
    .
    A BlackBerry App Client ID is created.
