OIDC Auth Request Playground
Hey Community! We just released a playground where you can craft authentication requests for ZITADEL.
The Auth Request allows you to customize the behavior of your login page, for example:
- Prompt to register to an organization
- Skip the account picker and login a specified user directly
- Trigger the branding and policies of a specified organization
You can define the parameters in the url and save your base-config as bookmark.
https://docs.zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/authrequest?instance=https://login.mydomain.com/
It's an early version by @peintnermax and me. We would appreciate your ideas and contributions to help other ZITADEL users as well.
Some thoughts we have for the future:
- Fix some bugs 😆 (eg, openid scope is mandatory...)
- Provide deep links from your ZITADEL console application, so you can test out the Auth Request directly
- Improve overall descriptions and examples for different flows
- Add more parameters and scopes (eg, roles)
- Complete the Auth request and show the result in the docs
Thanks for the feedback and have fun playing around.

The OIDC Playground is for testing OpenID Authentication Requests, giving you more insight how OpenID Connect works and how you can customize ZITADEL behavior with different parameters.

PS: For production setups, you should obviously use a client that handles most of the heavy lifting. The playground should help you figuring out the parameters that you want to include in your configuration.
