# Configure an external identity provider

To configure an external identity provider you first need to access the Keycloak administration console. Follow the instructions in [Accessing Keycloak admin console](/akamas-docs/3.5.0/managing-akamas/users-management/accessing-keycloak-admin-console.md).

In the *akamas* realm, navigate to the *Identity providers* section.

From here on, the steps required to proceed with the configuration vary depending on the provider you are integrating with. Select yours from the guides below:

* [Azure Active Directory](/akamas-docs/3.5.0/managing-akamas/users-management/configure-an-external-identity-provider/azure-active-directory.md)
* [Google](/akamas-docs/3.5.0/managing-akamas/users-management/configure-an-external-identity-provider/google.md)

In case you need to limit the count of user session logins for this provider, follow this guide
