How to Enable Identity Providers for Applications via FusionAuth API

wesley

I’d like to enable an identity provider for an application programmatically, rather than configuring it manually through the FusionAuth UI. Is there a way to do this via API?

Yes, you can enable identity providers for applications using the API.

Here’s how:

Use the specific API endpoint for the identity provider type you’re configuring (SAML, OIDC, etc.).

For example, if you’re enabling a SAML or OIDC provider, you’ll use:

PATCH /api/identity-provider/{identityProviderId}

In your request body, set this field to true:

identityProvider.applicationConfiguration[applicationId].enabled
