Support integration with external identity providers

[facundofc]

Enhancement Proposal

Currently there's no way to make use of any external identity provider (like Azure Entra -former AD- for instance).

I've followed this to manually add the configuration to /etc/grafana/grafana-config.ini, but deleting the pod drops the changes.

A stopgap solution to this could be to use a persisted location for the config file so at least after manual configuration it remains.

Hi, you should not do this by mutating the ini, but using the identity platform charms. See https://charmhub.io/topics/canonical-identity-platform/how-to/integrate-external-identity-provider

hi @facundofc as Simon said, the idea is to integrate with the Identity Team charms and then configure one of our components to integrate with the external IDP

if you need any support you can find us on matrix https://matrix.to/#/!nRbdoDYxdQndEfzlJi:ubuntu.com?via=ubuntu.com&via=matrix.org&via=mozilla.org
