Configure Paypal as an Identity Provider
The EmpowerID SSO framework allows you to configure PayPal as an identity provider for the EmpowerID Web application. EmpowerID integrates with PayPal using the OAuth protocol to allow your users to log in to EmpowerID using their PayPal account.
This topic describes how to configure an IDP connection for PayPal and is divided into the following activities:
- Adding the Client ID and Client Secret to the PayPal OAuth Connection
- Adding MFA Points to the PayPal OAuth Connection
- Adding a Login tile for PayPal
- Testing the PayPal connection
For specific directions on registering EmpowerID as an application in Paypal, see the information provided by Paypal at https://developer.paypal.com.
When registering EmpowerID in Paypal, use the following URL as the Callback or Return URL, replacing "FQDN_OF_YOUR_EMPOWERID_SERVER"with the FQDN or fully resolvable DNS of the EmpowerID Web server in your environment.https://FQDN_OF_YOUR_EMPOWERID_SERVER/EmpowerIDWebIdPForms/oauth/v2
Be sure to replace "FQDN_OF_YOUR_EMPOWERID_SERVER" with the FQDN or fully resolvable DNS of the EmpowerID Web server in your environment and "PayPal" with the name of the IDP connection you create for PayPal in EmpowerID.
