Can PlayFab be used as an open id provider?

There are other services that we would like to seamlessly integrate with that support open id authentication. We would like to be able to use the user's account that is already created with our PlayFab title. Does PlayFab have an api that can be called to provide an open id for use with other services?

PlayFab is not an Open ID Provider, but does support integrating Open ID connection through any Open ID provider you have specified.

You may manage the Open ID connection via the following Admin APIs:

  • CreateOpenIdConnection
  • DeleteOpenIdConnection
  • ListOpenIdConnection
  • UpdateOpenIdConnection

After implemented, players are able to link or log into their account via Open ID connection through the following APIs:

  • LinkOpenIdConnect
  • LoginWithOpenIdConnect
  • UnlinkOpenIdConnect

Bummer. Is this something PlayFab has considered doing? Being an opened provider?

I don’t see any plan about it at the latest roadmap document. Please feel free to send a thread on the Feature Request forum.

Besides, as PlayFab is in Microsoft family, while Microsoft is an open ID provider, you may refer to Microsoft identity platform and OpenID Connect protocol - Microsoft identity platform | Microsoft Docs.
