User Management Enhancements in 2025.12
The following user management enhancement was added in the 2025.12 release.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) Support in FlexNet Operations Single Sign-On
(SWM-28970)
We have added OpenID Connect (OIDC) as a supported protocol for Single Sign-On (SSO) in the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal. This enhancement provides a modern, secure, and standards-based approach to authentication, complementing the existing SAML integration.
Key Features
| • | Improved Interoperability—Integration with a wide range of identity providers that support OIDC. |
| • | Enhanced Security—Reduces reliance on XML-based protocols (SAML) and leverages JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for streamlined communication. |
Configuration Overview
Configuring OpenID Connect support in the Producer Portal involves the following steps:
| 1. | Identity Provider Setup—Ensure your IdP supports OIDC and configure client credentials (Client ID and Client Secret). |
| 2. | Producer Portal Configuration—Navigate to Administration > Configure Single Sign-On and select OIDC as the protocol. |
| 3. | Redirect URIs—Add the FlexNet Operations callback URL to your IdP configuration. |
| 4. | Scopes and Claims—Define required scopes (for example, openid, profile, email) and map claims to FlexNet Operations user attributes. |
Benefits
| • | Simplifies integration with cloud-native identity solutions. |
| • | Provides a future-ready authentication mechanism aligned with modern security standards. |
| • | Offers flexibility for organisations adopting hybrid or multi-cloud environments. |
