Selecting the default identity provider

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

When you select a default identity provider, Keycloak redirects Avaya Workplace Client users directly to the selected identity provider instead of displaying the login screen first.

If you have a single identity provider configured, use this procedure if you configured the provider using the Keycloak web administration portal. If you configured the identity provider using the configuration utility, the provider is already selected.

If you have multiple identity providers configured, you can select which identity provider you want to use for authorization. Otherwise, Keycloak will prompt Avaya Workplace Client users to select an identity provider to authenticate.

Note:

Do not select the default identity provider if you want to enable the simultaneous use of multiple identity providers for Avaya Workplace Client users.

Before you begin

Configure the required identity provider on Keycloak.
