Public Services with Cloudron SSO or OIDC?
-
Hi there,
are there any public services that can be integrated with Cloudron for SSO or OIDC?
Best,

I did not understand the question. Maybe this one? Website: flicker.com - possibility to connect your my.example.org Cloudron OIDC? In short, no, never.

I understood that Cloudron can provide OIDC to become the authentication Provider for services that support OIDC. If that is the case, I wonder what public services exist that can use Cloudron OIDC for user logins. Similar to what we see when some pages allow login with "Google Account" or "Apple Account"...
At flicker I didn't see any possibility to login with anything else than a flicker account.

Take flicker as an example. My technical understanding, in short: no, never. Not for reddit.com or anything else. Someone from the reddit development team read https://developers.google.com/identity/openid-connect/openid-connect and integrated this service into the login dialog of reddit.com. Because so many people have a Google account, this is very convenient for them.
Imagine if they had decided to support byo-OIDC, it would end up something like this -
Got it, thank you.
I understand the point, but I was hoping there are some services which allow the user to configure the OIDC provider themself -
Understood, so the use case is really to configure services I own, only.

Logging in with a Big Data account like Google might be convenient, but what happens if (when!) Google decides to suspend your account? Apart from this, there is creep in some applications where login through a proprietary software account is mandatory. If there is an alternative, it is to another proprietary, Big Data service. I hope this doesn't become the "new normal". I saw one case like this just earlier on today. It was for some beta access to a product. I didn't proceed.
Stuff like this is, in my view, creep towards a dystopic, techno-surveillance state, where you require a (Big Data verified) online identity to move anywhere in the internet, where there is zero prospect of anonymity, where persecution by The Powers That Shouldn't Be becomes effortless for them, where society can be shaped and culled in any way they like.
It is just my take on the subject. I hope you don't mind me leaping into your thread like this.

Perhaps this is more suited to a Keycloak instance?
