1) Permissions controlled by external http service: External http service logs with own accounts to use Raysync, and permissions are controlled by your http service. Users will not be created simultaneously in the Raysync system, and the accounts of the external http service cannot be used to log in to the Raysync system.

2) Permissions controlled by Raysync: Externally http service users will be created synchronously in the Raysync system, and permissions will be controlled by Raysync. Users can use the account and password of the external authentication service to log in to the Raysync system.

Integration documents can be provided by contacting Raysync technical or business personnel.

2.5 OpenID Connect

OIDC (OpenID Connect) is an authentication and authorization protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It extends OAuth 2.0 to provide a standardized way for identities to enable users to authenticate with third-party applications and authorize those applications to access protected resources.

Raysync oidc authentication implements back-end communication with IDP. Its function is similar to the traditional OAuth process, and it interacts with the Raysync web application to obtain the access token through the traditional OAuth access token method. During this process, the IDP provider does not send user details, but a special one-time code that Raysync Web Services can exchange for an OAuth access token. In addition to the one-time code, this exchange needs to include the client ID and client secret, just like the traditional OAuth 2.0 flow. This token is invisible through the browser and enables Raysync services to authenticate between IDP services.

If you already have your own enterprise management system, you can log in to Raysync using your enterprise management system account.
