Installation

Install as you would install any Odoo addon.

Configuration

To use this module, you need an IDP server, properly set up.

1. Configure the module according to your IdP’s instructions (Settings > Users & Companies > SAML Providers).
2. Pre-create your users and set the SAML information against the user.

By default, the module let users have both a password and SAML ids. To increase security, disable passwords by using the option in Settings. Note that the admin account can still have a password, even if the option is activated.

If all the users have a SAML id in a single provider, you can set automatic redirection in the provider settings. It is still possible to access the login without redirection by using the query parameter disable_autoredirect, as in https://example.com/web/login?disable_autoredirect= The login is also displayed if there is an error with SAML login, in order to display any error message.

Usage

Users can login with the configured SAML IdP with buttons added in the login screen.
