A list of sites needed for all openSUSE info

I have a myriad of sites listed for openSUSE. These include forum, opensuse build service, opensuse software, idp, and others. I don’t even know what idp sites is about.

I would like a concise list of SUSE sites that one should be monitoring or inquiring to. I would also like to know which sites required individual separate logins. I use bitwarden password manager and I have now 6 openSUSE related sites listed. I don’t believe these are all necessary.

Perhaps there is a list already but I am not finding it. Point me to a reference as needed.

thanks, tom kosvic

Have a look at the left nav in the forums - we have a list of “openSUSE Resources” that, while not exhaustive, is a lot of useful sites to be aware of.

The idp site is the identity provider - it’s what handles the authentication to all the other sites.

IDP is the Single Sign On system so your username and password work everywhere (AFAIK except the openSUSE Build Service and Bugzilla)…

I log in to idp site and it does not offer any openSUSE sites to forward into. There’s no options to go anywhere.

As explained by Malcolm, IPD is only the single sign on system (account). You can set password/email and other stuff for your openSUSE account there.

So you don’t login to any sites from idp, you just use your idp login on the other sites.

I thought idp would give you a list of sites available.

Yes. For example openSUSE Bugzilla:

Nope. That’s not how the OpenID Connect flow works, generally, and that’s what most of the openSUSE sites use. Bugzilla and OBS are exceptions to that (Bugzilla uses a SAML authentication flow that’s initiated from the service provider - ie, the Bugzilla website - and I believe OBS uses the same.)

Sites have to be registered at the IdP (there’s a ‘client’ configuration that’s done there), so it can’t just be used by anything, but the full client list is generally not made publicly available when configuring an identity provider - that’s done for security reasons because it’s likely there are internal-only systems that are configured there as well.
