Authentication options

Since GitHub has been integrated and used in Instana, we can have GitHub as one of the authentication method in Instana. This process can avoid multiple AD/SSO configurations in tools/applications.

    We dont see the GITHUB authentication option in the Instana login page instead it shows direct login and Google login. Can someone confirm whether Github login option is really avaliable for instana.

    Instana already supports SAML and OIDC for SSO, which should be supported by all Identity providers.

    For more complex rules and combinations of IdPs, a keycloack instance should be set and configured for Instana, to configure the different types of access through that.
