​
Getting started

  • From the “Applications” tab, click “Create App Integration”.
  • From the provided sign-in method options, choose “OIDC - OpenID Connect”. This will allow you to select an application type. Choose “Web Application” and click Next.
  • On the new page, fill out the application name, for example “Unthread”.
  • For Grant Type, make sure “Authorization Code” is checked.
  • Enter the Sign-in redirect URI. This is based on the subdomain associated with your account. For example, if you access your dashboard through “piedpiper.unthread.io”, enter https://piedpiper.unthread.io/__/auth/handler.
  • Enter the Sign-out redirect URI. This is also based on the subdomain associated with your account. For “piedpiper.unthread.io” this would be https://piedpiper.unthread.io/logout.
  • Leave the Trusted Origins section blank.
  • Under Assignments, you have the option to enable Unthread for everyone in your organization or limit access to certain users. This can also be skipped for now and configured later.
  • Click Save.
  • (Optional) After saving, you will have the ability to enable Identity Provider Initiated (IdP) Login. Click “Edit” in the General Settings section and scroll down to the Login section. Change “Login initiated by” from “App Only” to “Either Okta or App”. Check off the “Application visibility” options you want to enable for your users. Set “Login flow” to “Redirect to app to initiate login (OIDC Compliant)”. The “Initiate login URI” is also based on the subdomain associated with your account. For “piedpiper.unthread.io” this would be https://piedpiper.unthread.io/login/okta-oidc.
