Direzione di ricerca

The issue names no files or tests. Start by finding where the External OIDC provider's Client ID and Client Secret are configured and used, then check whether the OIDC client already supports private_key_jwt. Done means a maintainer-agreed design for certificate storage, Entra ID configuration and rotation, not a patch, since the issue is open with no comments yet.

Descrizione

Hello Defguard Support Team,

We would like to request a feature enhancement to support certificate-based authentication for External Identity Providers (IdP), specifically Microsoft Entra ID.

Currently, Defguard's External OpenID Connect (OIDC) integration requires a Client ID and Client Secret for authentication. We would like to have the option to use an X.509 certificate instead of a Client Secret to improve security and credential management.

Requested Feature:

  • Support certificate-based client authentication using the OIDC private_key_jwt authentication method.
  • Allow administrators to configure an X.509 certificate and associated private key securely in Defguard.
  • Support Microsoft Entra ID App Registration authentication using certificate credentials.
  • Support certificate renewal and rotation without interrupting existing SSO authentication.
  • Maintain backward compatibility with the existing Client Secret authentication method.

Business and Security Benefits:

  • Reduce reliance on shared Client Secrets.
  • Improve credential security and lifecycle management.
  • Support organizational security policies that prefer certificate-based application authentication.
  • Reduce operational risks associated with Client Secret expiration and rotation.

Questions:

  1. Does Defguard currently support certificate-based authentication for External OIDC providers through any existing configuration?
  2. If not, could this capability be considered for a future release?
  3. Is there an existing feature request or roadmap item for this functionality?
  4. We would appreciate your feedback on the feasibility of implementing this feature.

Thank you for your support.
