Hi all, Is it possible to authenticate with some other service outside of Ory, but handle everything else i.e. user sessions, identity etc using an Ory offering? Thanks

@millions-potato-97804 Using OIDC/social login this would be relatively simple: https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/overview

@magnificent-energy-493 Hi, I went down this path but then learned a browser (web view) would need to be opened during the process (I’m developing a native mobile app). Since Auth0 offers social login while allowing me to maintain a full native experience in my app, I was wondering if I could somehow still use Kratos for everything else outside of authentication. However, it seems impossible to register a user without a username/email and password, or directly using OIDC/social login in Ory.

How would you identify the user in Ory? I havent come across this yet I think. As for the native mobile experience, this is actually on the roadmap. I can’t give you more details yet but we are starting to work on enabling this native experience also for OIDC on Ory Kratos/Identities.

@magnificent-energy-493 I would use the email provided in the success response returned the first time Sign In With Apple is used. Originally, I thought maybe manually creating an identity using Kratos would help. But even after doing that, I need to somehow create a user session. This was the reason I decided using the Register Flow APIs was a better option, since everything is done automatically i.e. identity creation, user session creation etc.
