Hi folks,

I’m seeing there are multiple services which externalise the task of “identity provider” (e.g. login with Facebook, google or what not).

In my case, I am curious about Tailscale, a VPN service which allows one to chose an identity provider/SSO between Google, Microsoft, Github, Apple and OIDC.

How can I find out what data is actually communicates to the identity provider? Their task should simply be to decide whether I am who I claim to be, nothing more. But I’m guessing there may be some subtleties.

In the case of Tailscale, would the identity provider know where I’m trying to connect? Or more?

Answers and insights much appreciated! The topic does not seem to have much information online.

    Ok, fair enough, but at that point you’re basically deploying your own password manager which most people would consider a little over the top :D
