I've been looking around everywhere and i'm looking for a way to secure webdev calls using our internal IdP on our server. I'm already using it for our normal day to day perspective usage.

It looks like you can really only authenticate with a standard user source. Is this really the only way currently?

You're not missing anything, there's not currently any way to authenticate Webdev with an IdP.

It's a worthwhile feature request; I'd recommend making a post on [ideas.inductiveautomation.com](http://ideas.inductiveautomation.com) to help us gauge community interest.
