GitHub Identity Provider

The Identity Provider (IDP) method is another way to link GitHub to OX Security. This method relies on authentication services provided by GitHub or a third-party service. The user connects using their GitHub account credentials, allowing the OX platform to use GitHub as the identity provider for authentication.

To connect with Identity Provider:

1. In the OX platform, go to Connectors and select GitHub > IDENTITY PROVIDER.

1. Select CONNECT. You are automatically redirected to the source control system’s authentication dialog.

2. Log in to GitHub and grant permissions to access the data.

1. Select Authorize oxsecurity. The connection is established and you are redirected back to OX Security, where the list of all the repositories that participate in the integration appears.

1. Select the repos you want to scan and select SAVE.

2. (optional) Select branches you want to scan within the selected repos.

3. To connect more GitHub accounts to the same organization in the OX platform, select Add another Identity Provider +, set the required parameters and select CONNECT.
