Quick start guide

Learn how to identify your users in just a few steps. You can integrate with Signicat in three ways; by using OpenID Connect (OIDC) or SAML 2.0 or via Signicat's Authentication REST API.

Previous steps

The guides below assume you've completed the initial setup steps:

1. Sign up to the Signicat Dashboard (opens new window).
2. Create an organisation and an account within that organisation.
3. Depending on which protocol you want to use, you then do one of the following:
   • create an OIDC client
   • check out the API documentation for the Authentication REST API
   • set up a SAML connection
4. Obtain the necessary certificates (varies depending on the ID method you want to use).
5. Set up an ID method in the Dashboard.
6. If you want to use your own metadata file, generate it.
