# OpenId Connect Settings

The OpenId Connect connector allows you to connect ngSurvey to any OpenId Connect compatible identity provider compatible with OId Connect protocol like for example Identity Server, AWS Cognito or Keycloak. Once you have setup the connector all your existing users from your OId identity provider will be able to login seamlessly with their existing credentials.

## 🔅 OpenId Connect properties

* **`Issuer`** URI of your identity provider. eg: <https://yourissueruri.com>
* **`Client ID`** Client ID that identify your identity provider application.
* **`Login button text`** Text label of the login button that is used to trigger the OpenId  authentication manually.    &#x20;
* **`Single signon`** Tries to login automatically using existing OpenId credentials.&#x20;
* **`Security items default`** If Settings will be used by default for all [Open Id security items](/form-management/security/security-items/openid-connect.md) if no settings have been set on the security item.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you turn single sign-on on make sure to first log with an OpenId account and assign this account admin privileges or [roles](/multi-user-management/roles.md) in ngSurvey from the [user](/multi-user-management/users.md) access control. &#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Using the auto-link property on [roles](/multi-user-management/roles.md) and [groups](/multi-user-management/groups.md) you can automatically map a role or a group to each new OpenId user that is connecting to ngSurvey.
