Setting Up OpenID Connect (OIDC) to Thinkific

Connecting an Open ID Connect (OIDC) system to Thinkific can be achieved in two ways:

1. Via the Thinkific OIDC App. Note that this feature is exclusive to Thinkific Plus and will disable all other login methods on your Thinkific site. Click here for more details.
2. WooNinja SSO Connector

In the case of our connector, at minimum data you will require is:

• Client ID
• Client Secret
• The Well-known Configuration URL e.g. https://example.oidc.local/oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration

Open your SSO connector, click Create Connection, and then select OIDC.

Note: If your OIDC connections use 'Basic Authentication/Auth', select OIDC (Basic Auth) as the provider, and proceed with the setup as described below.

Enter your Client ID and Secret:

Under Additional Parameters, click Add. Then enter base_url and the start of the URL you were given for the well-known configuration, including the path up to OIDC. In our example, this value would be: https://example.oidc.local/oidc

Note: Some URLs may include a "2" in the URL e.g.

https://acme.corp.local/oidc/2/.well-known/openid-configuration

In this case, your base_url would be:

https://acme.corp.local/oidc/2

Tip: In general, to format the base_url, you should remove the "/.well-known/openid-configuration" from the URL, and the remaining URL is your base_url

Click Create, and your connection is ready to use.
