When a user logs in via an OpenID Connect authentication mechanism for the first time, a Fluid Topics account is created. In order to create this account, Fluid Topics attempts to retrieve the following information:

  • ID - mandatory, must be stable.
  • Display name - mandatory, the user will be prompted to provide this information at time of first login if necessary.
  • Email - mandatory, the user will be prompted to provide this information at time of first login if necessary.
  • Groups - optional.
  • Roles - optional.

Fluid Topics tries to automatically detect this information in the response sent by the OpenID Connect provider when the user logs in.

Sometimes, the information retrieved is incomplete. In this case, an administrator must define mappings in the Profile mappers section of the New realm drawer.

Mappings make it possible to define equivalents between the properties and attributes of a Fluid Topics user profile and those defined on the OpenID Connect provider's side. They also make it possible for the user to log in via a OpenID Connect authentication mechanism without having to enter their name and email address.



- The Profile mappers section is read-only. In order to modify one or more mappings, it is necessary to open the Profile mappers assistant drawer by selecting the Run configuration assistant button.

- It is necessary to have the credentials of an OpenID Connect realm user on hand in order to run the configuration assistant.

- If the configuration is incomplete or invalid, Fluid Topics identifies errors to be fixed in the Fix mapping errors section of the Profile mappers assistant drawer
