As you build new ODC apps while maintaining your O11 portfolio, your end users might navigate across both platforms. A fragmented login experience across platforms can disrupt their workflow, so it's crucial to plan for seamless authentication.

OutSystems provides single sign-on (SSO) capability so your end users can access apps on both O11 and ODC without re-authenticating. You have two approaches for user interoperability between O11 and ODC:

• O11 built-in authentication - The built-in Users app is the authoritative source for end-user authentication, configured as an external OIDC identity provider for ODC. End users authenticate through O11 once, subsequent access to ODC apps is automatic if their O11 session remains active.

• External identity provider - Both O11 and ODC federate with a central identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra or Okta. End users authenticate through the external system, not O11 or ODC directly.

In both cases, end users are managed in a single location, either in O11 or your external identity provider, eliminating user duplication and reducing administrative overhead.

This component allows customers to follow the first approach by using O11 as built-in authentication for ODC.

It is support only when configured with ODC identity providers using the OutSystems11 configuration.
