Single sign-on (SSO) integration

[spooner.arthur]

Hello at all,
I want to use Microsoft 365 for SSO.
But I want to use a mix, MS365 SSO for our User.
Local Espo Users for the some external Users and for the Customer Portal.
Is that possible?

Best regards
Arthur

Hi there.

I have a question.
I’m currently working with EspoCRM 9.1.8 on my local environment.
Is it possible to implement SSO with Outlook for regular users or portal users?

[yuri]

No, unless you did customizations with authentication.

Thank you yuri so much. What will need to be done when v7.4 version will come, just to avoid conflicts?

[yuri]

Also enabling it on the login form will be needed:

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/issues/2446

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/blob/master/application/Espo/Resources/metadata/authenticationMethods/Oidc.json#L4

[yuri]

This is the default one: https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...erProvider.php. Bind a custom one with similar code but w/o the portal user restriction.

[yuri]

It's not supported as it indeed would have required more work to design it properly. There's too much to think out before implementing the solution that we are to support forever then. Currently there's the ability to provide a custom user-provider class so anybody can make portal users to work.

[partomas]

Anyway it would be big benefit if Portal users would support Single sign-on (SSO) in core, not as someone's extension. In this case external CRM users could use portal very easy on daily bases or easy get access if use time to time without "recover password" each time when try to connect.

I guess Portal User is not supported temporary (or permanent if there too much work).

Nothing stopping an coder to do a Pull Request though... but it might have been intentional to not support Portal so might have to be an extension instead.

[partomas]

This feature very actual for portal users as well. Did I got correctly, that portal users will not be supported for now?

[yuri]

Coming in v7.3 https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/issues/2455

[yuri]

Please create a separate topic for questions like this. not in the feature request topic.

Hi there,

1. Is it possible in Espo to have separate LDAP servers for each Espo portal? Does anyone has any experience?

2. Is it possible to configure Espo + Espo Portal to handle SSO in scenario with nginx preauth proxy + authentik/keycloak. E.g. User enters credentials on preauth proxy. Proxy checks in LDAP if credentials are valid then forwards request to Espo and user is logged in.

Currently we have to log in in preauth proxy and then user must enter credentials again. We’d like to avoid this effort for user. Can anyone help us with any piece of advice or clue where to start?

Hi there, in case you want Google login or Microsoft login, I would recommend you integrate Auth0 (Auth0-PHP) within your EspoCRM instance - it's really helpful solution for achieving this type of authentication.

yuri how do you think is is possible to expect Single sign-on (SSO) integration of Google and Microsoft in nearest future?
Google and Microsoft is because it's most common used in business environment.
