# Federated Authentication Identity Provider Configurations

## 1.0 Introduction

This article helps you to access and manage **Federated Authentication Identity Provider (IdP) configurations** for **cloud connections** in Fortanix Key Insight.

It also describes:

- How to access the **Authentication** user interface (UI) in Fortanix Key Insight.
- How to add a new cloud IdP configuration.
- How to manage (edit and delete) the existing cloud IdP configurations.

## 2.0 Access Authentication UI

You can access the **Authentication** UI from the Fortanix Key Insight left navigation panel.

For the selected Fortanix Key Insight account, the **Authentication** page lists all the existing cloud (AWS, Azure, and GCP) IdP configurations.

## 3.0 Add a Federated Authentication IdP Configuration

For cloud connection, you can add a new federated authentication IdP configuration using **ADD CONFIGURATION**.

*For more information, refer to* [*Getting Started with Cloud Connection*](/v1/docs/fortanix-key-insight-getting-started-with-cloud-connection)*.*

## 4.0 Manage Federated Authentication IdP Configurations

For each Federated Authentication IdP configuration, you can perform the following:

- Edit
- Delete

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> - Only users with the **Account Administrator** and **Group administrator** roles can add, edit, and delete the IdP configurations in Fortanix Key Insight.
> - Expired IdP configurations will have the **Status** column marked as **Expired**. For these configurations, you must click ![Edit Icon.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/c3bd85d2-4ad8-4d85-9f60-f1c168a3aad9/Images/Documentation/Edit Icon.png) and click **Authorize** to perform reauthorization.
> - For **Microsoft Entra ID** IdP using the **single page application** (SPA) option in Azure, you must reauthorize it every 24 hours because refresh tokens are valid only for 24 hours, according to the [*Microsoft official documentation*](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/refresh-tokens#token-lifetime).

### 4.1 Edit the IdP Configuration

You can modify the IdP configuration details if required.

Perform the following steps to edit the IdP configuration:

1. Select the required IdP configuration to edit.
2. Click ![Edit Icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/c3bd85d2-4ad8-4d85-9f60-f1c168a3aad9/Images/Documentation/Edit%20Icon.png).
3. On the **Edit Configuration – Authorization Code Flow** or **Edit Configuration – Client Credentials Flow** page (depending on the selected authentication method), update the required values.

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> On the **Edit Configuration – Client Credentials Flow** page, if the API Gateway URL is updated, the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** must also be updated to ensure that credentials configured by one account administrator cannot be redirected to a gateway managed by another account administrator.
4. Click **Authorize** to apply the changes.

### 4.2 Delete the IdP Configuration

Use this feature to remove an IdP configuration and its associated information.

Perform the following steps to delete the IdP configuration:

1. Select the required IdP configuration.
2. Click ![Delete Icon.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/c3bd85d2-4ad8-4d85-9f60-f1c168a3aad9/Images/Documentation/Delete Icon.png). The deletion confirmation dialog box will appear.
3. Read all the details and enter the cloud connection name.
4. Click **DELETE**.

> [!WARNING]
> WARNING
> 
> Deleting the IdP configuration cannot be undone.

The IdP configuration will be removed from the **Authentication** page.
