We want to make certain pages private for our customers. Other pages will be publicly available. For the private pages, we must use our own authentication (OIDC/OAuth2)  
This is critical for our functionality.  
**My questions:**  
- Is this the right place to set up SSO for third-party authentication? (Settings, Tools, Website, Private Content, Single sign-on (SSO))  
- Is JWT/SAML the only options we have, are there any add-ons or plugins we can install for more options?  
- Are there any examples on OIDC/OAuth2 authentication we can look at?

Hey, @geldcharm 👋 I did a bit of digging on your main question. Here is the answer I received — _our current functionality with JWT for SSO does not support OpenID Connect + OAuth2_.

This explains why it is not documented here as an option — [Set up single sign-on (SSO) to access private content](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/set-up-single-sign-on-sso-to-access-private-content).`

Looking at your additional questions:

- Yes
- No additional documented options
- No for OIDC/OAuth2 authentication. In this case, the documentation states, “_The steps and fields required to add a new application in your identity provider may vary. General instructions for setting up SSO for private content are outlined below_.” It’s not my favourite answer to deliver, and it is in the knowledge base article for this feature, which is our source of truth here.

Best,

Jaycee

Hi [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074) we are also looking to make private contant available to users who have autenticated with JWT for SSO using OIDC/Oauth2. Is there an update on this? -
