Configure Mission Control to use OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication

Mission Control can use the OpenID Connect (OIDC) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) protocols for authentication. This topic explains how to configure the OIDC setup. See Configure Mission Control to use LDAP for the other supported authentication protocol.

Enable OIDC

  1. Configure the OIDC connector in your values.yaml file under the dex section:

    dex:
      config:
        connectors:
          - type: oidc
            id: oidc
            name: OpenID Connect
            config:
              # Add your OIDC configuration here

    See the Dex OIDC connector documentation for available fields and their descriptions.

  2. Apply the updated configuration:

    helm upgrade mission-control ./mission-control -f values.yaml
  3. Navigate to the Mission Control UI, and then click Sign in with OpenID Connect to test the connection.

  4. Optional: Remove the admin user in the Mission Control configuration to remove the Sign in with Email option.
