Smart SSO for Odoo

Already using Microsoft, Google, or another SSO provider with Odoo? This module makes sure your users actually use it.

Smart SSO for Odoo Banner
Odoo Gold Partner
Free for Everyone

Flip a toggle on any user's Security tab and their password stops working. They'll see a short message telling them to use the SSO button instead. No confusion, fewer helpdesk calls.

Got a whole team to sort out? There's a bulk server action so you can switch everyone over at once rather than going user by user.

It drops straight on top of your existing Odoo SSO setup with no middleware and nothing to reconfigure. It just makes sure the password route doesn't work for the users you choose. Available for Odoo v17, v18, and v19, developed by Smart IT, an Odoo Gold Partner.

Free for everyone. No licence fees, no subscriptions, no strings attached.

Benefits

  • Makes sure users actually use your SSO provider, not just have it available
  • Password login stops working even if the password is correct
  • Fewer helpdesk calls because users are told exactly what to do
  • No middleware and no complex config. It sits on top of what you already have
  • Closes the password backdoor your identity provider has no control over

Features

  • Single toggle on the user's Security tab to block password login
  • Built-in server action to enforce SSO across multiple users in bulk
  • Works by failing the password attempt. The login form stays on screen
  • On-screen message directs users to the SSO button
  • Sits on top of auth_oauth or auth_saml with no changes to your existing setup
  • Supports Odoo v17, v18, and v19

How It Works

1
Install the Module

Install from the Odoo App Store on v17, v18, or v19. You'll need your SSO provider already set up via auth_oauth or auth_saml first.

2
Turn It On, One User or Many

Use the toggle on a user's Security tab, or run the bulk server action to enforce it across your whole team at once.

3
Passwords Stop Working

Password attempts for those users will fail. They'll see a message pointing them to the SSO button.

✓
SSO Only, Done

Those users can only get in via SSO. The password route is closed and stays closed.

Small Print
  • Your SSO provider (Microsoft, Google, etc.) must already be configured separately in Odoo via auth_oauth or auth_saml. This module does none of that setup itself.
  • The toggle is per user and manual. There is no auto-enrolment or Active Directory sync.
  • Enforcement works by deliberately failing the password attempt. It does not remove the login form from the page.

Ready to lock down password logins?

It's free, it's quick to set up, and it works with whatever SSO you've already got in Odoo. Install it and your users will have no choice but to go through SSO.
