Authentication Environments

An overview of authentication environments in MicroStrategy's Embedding SDK.

Overview

MicroStrategy's Embedding SDK provides multiple authentication methods to integrate content into your web applications seamlessly. This guide covers the available authentication options and their specific use cases.

When embedding dashboards, the goal is to create a frictionless user experience. The implementation approach varies based on your MicroStrategy environment's authentication setup, whether you need passwordless access, single sign-on, or other authentication methods.

The embed-dossier-mstr-react package supports these authentication environments:

  • Guest: No authentication required.
  • Standard: Username and password authentication.
  • SAML: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication.
  • OIDC: OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication.

Each authentication environment has unique requirements and configurations. The Authentication section provides detailed guidance for integrating MicroStrategy's Embedding SDK with your React application across different authentication methods.

Here's the cards to navigate to the specific authentication environment:
