Enhanced Integration Guides & SAML Support
We're excited to announce significant updates to the Candescent Documentation Portal — introducing local development capabilities with the OIDC Toolkit, comprehensive SAML support, and enhanced OIDC documentation.
What's New
Local Development with the OIDC Toolkit
The new Local Development Guide enables you to build and test OIDC SSO implementations entirely on your machine before connecting to QA or production environments. The OIDC Toolkit provides a complete local Identity Provider that mirrors Candescent's OIDC implementation.
Key Capabilities:
- Simulate complete OIDC authorization code flows locally
- Generate test credentials (
client_idandclient_secret) automatically - Download metadata and JWK files compatible with Candescent's format
- Run automated E2E tests to validate your integration
- Debug and iterate without external environment dependencies
This self-service workflow reduces integration time and allows you to arrive at QA validation with a working implementation.
