Sign in with eIDAS

Community-contributed integration

Direct eIDAS node access requires government approval; integration goes through a commercial broker. Configures as a generic OIDC provider. Reference: ory/integrates/government-identity/eidas.

eIDAS is the EU regulation that enables cross-border use of national electronic IDs, such as the German Personalausweis, Italian SPID, Belgian eID, French FranceConnect, and Spanish DNI.

Integration path

Use a commercial eIDAS broker that exposes eIDAS as standard OIDC, then configure it as a generic OIDC provider in Ory Identities. The broker handles the per-country eIDAS node integration.

Common brokers are Signicat (pan-EU), Criipto, IDnow, and yes.com (Germany).

Assurance levels

eIDAS defines three Levels of Assurance — map them to Ory session AAL:

eIDAS LoAOry AAL
Lowaal1
Substantialaal1 / aal2
Highaal2

The broker reports the LoA in the ID token. Use Jsonnet to map it to metadata_public.eidas.loa for downstream policy.
