With X4 BPMS 7.5.0, we set a new standard for modern, powerful, and intuitive digitization platforms. The release brings strategic advancements that give businesses more freedom, speed, and future security – while elevating the user experience to a new level.
OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Decoupling & maximum flexibility
With release 7.5.0, the X4 BPMS was completely detached from the previous Keycloak instance and connected to the open OIDC standard. With full support for OpenID Connect, you can flexibly connect the platform to your preferred OIDC-compliant identity provider. (E.g. Azure AD/Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, own Keycloainstance). This increases security, maintainability and reduces dependencies.
Your benefits:
-
Flexible choice of an OIDC-compliant identity provider
-
Use multifactor authentication
-
Independent updates
-
Central role management in the identity provider
