External Integration
External Integration enables administrators to define how users from external identity systems access the Conga Advantage Platform. This is essential for organizations that rely on third-party identity providers (IdPs) such as Azure AD, Okta, or other SAML 2.0/OIDC-compliant systems to manage user authentication and access control.
Using the External Integration tab in the admin interface, administrators can view, configure, and maintain connections to these external IdPs. Each integration facilitates user authentication by verifying identity based on the credentials provided by the external system. This ensures a secure, centralized login experience for distributed user populations.
Administrators can configure multiple external integrations depending on business and regional needs. However, only one IdP can be set as the default, ensuring a consistent authentication flow for new or unclassified users. This setup allows organizations to maintain tighter control over access, comply with security policies, and support federated identity across different user groups or business units.
For advanced use cases or automation needs, administrators can also manage external integrations programmatically using the Organization External Integration APIs.
When the external integration is refreshed and the Organization ID (Org external ID) changes, you must reauthorize or update the existing integration to use the new Organization ID in the Conga Advantage Platform. For more information, see Reauthorizing Platform Connection After External System Refresh.
Adding a New External Integration
You are an administrator.
- You have necessary credentials and information for the OIDC and SAML 2.0 identity provider you wish to integrate.Note:
Salesforce, Salesforce Sandbox, and Microsoft OIDC are available Out-of-the-Box. You can configure any SMAL 2.0 identity provider.
This task guides you through the process of adding a new external integration to your system. External integrations allow your platform to communicate with third-party identity providers and enhancing authentication.
Follow the same steps to add more external integration.
