By rethinking core engineering and systems design for cloud computing, we created innovations that accelerate migrations, deliver better reliability and performance for all applications, and offer the complete services customers need to build innovative cloud applications.

:::note
Only settings that have been modified from default have been listed.
In Oracle Cloud, open the top-left navigation and go to _Identity & Security_ and then _Domains_. Click on the domain of your choice. Click on _Security_ in the sidebar, then on _Identity providers_.
Create a new _Social IdP_ via the _Add IdP_ button. Set the name to authentik and fill in the client ID and secret from above.
Set the _Discovery service URL_ to `https://authentik.company/application/o/oracle-cloud/.well-known/openid-configuration` and save the IdP. The IdP has now been created but must be enabled before it can be used to login with.
Navigate to _IdP Policies_ in the sidebar and open the default policy by clicking on it. Edit the first rule within the policy. Add authentik under _Assign identity providers_. Here you can optionally also remove username-based logins, however it is recommended to not remove the option until you've verified SSO works.
