A miniOrange extension that makes a Joomla site a SAML 2.0 Service Provider, so users sign in through Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, ADFS, Shibboleth or another identity provider.
SAML SSO for Joomla by miniOrange connects a site to an organisation's single sign-on system. The site acts as a SAML 2.0 Service Provider, and users authenticate with the organisation's Identity Provider and reach Joomla without a separate password. It is in demand at companies, universities and healthcare organisations where accounts are already managed centrally.
Features
- SAML 2.0 single sign-on for the Joomla site and other connected applications.
- Supported identity providers include Azure AD (with Office 365 and Azure AD B2C), Okta, Google Workspace, AWS Cognito, ADFS, Shibboleth, Salesforce, OneLogin, PingFederate and FusionAuth, as well as any other SAML 2.0 compliant IdP.
- Step-by-step configuration of both sides, the Service Provider and the Identity Provider.
- Signed SAML responses.
- Scenarios for learning platforms (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard), Shibboleth and OpenAthens federations and enterprise systems.
- Installed via Install from Web and configured in the miniOrange SAML Single Sign-On component; no external dependencies.
