I need clarification as to whether or not Esri supports federation for using an ArcGIS Online or Portal account to authenticate into a third-party identity provider (IDP) rather than using a third-party to authenticate into ArcGIS Online/Portal. All of the Esri federation documentation on the web is showing how to use federation to authenticate into Esri.  I would like to use Esri to authenticate into a third-party IDP.  Similar to "login with Google", I would like the ability to "login with Esri".

Below is what I'm looking for:

  • Does Esri provide OpenId Connect userinfo endpoint in addition to OAuth named user login?
    • If the answer to above is yes, then does the endpoint provide access to a persistent identifier for a user (data which is not volatile, ie. not a subject to change when user decides to change it)?
  • If OpenId Connect userinfo is not a possibility, then:
    • Can the enterprise login, more precisely SAML federation, be extended to expose ArcGIS enterprise identity as an Identity Provider for an external system?

Currently we do not expose ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise as as 3rd party Identity Provider. I suggest creating an Ideas post to help track interest by others for this capability.  

Thanks!
