OpenID Connect (OIDC) provides a relatively simple and modern standard for authenticating users with an external identity platform. In this video, I walk you through the process of setting up OIDC authentication in BookStack, including things to look out for and details on how to debug potential issues, using Okta as an example identity provider platform.
