Cannot see OpenID option when creating Custom Provider

Question

We are trying to create a custom identity provider in the new Entra External ID ecosystem (as we move from Azure AD B2C) But in the add custom provider, we only see SAML/WSFed. OpenID is not there (see attached image). Are we missing something?

Hello Gurpreet0101Singh-9444,

Please note that if you are using Workforce tenant, then currently the feature to configure Custom OIDC Identity Provider is not supported.

But if you are using External tenant, then the option to configure Custom OIDC Identity Provider is currently supported.

I have reproduced this scenario in my test tenant and I am attaching you the Screenshots below taken from both Workforce tenant and External tenant.

Workforce tenant:

External tenant:

Note:

Please note that the above two Screenshots were taken without configuring any additional settings in both the tenants.

If you are using External tenant, then you can add OpenID Connect as an external identity provider by following the steps as mentioned in the below document.

Add OIDC for customer sign-in - Microsoft Entra External ID

Please note that below are the supported built-in and custom identity providers which can be configured and used in Workforce tenants.

1.Microsoft Entra accounts

2.Microsoft accounts

3.Email one-time passcode

4.Google

5.Facebook

6.SAML/WS-Fed identity provider federation

Please refer to the below document for your reference.
