(Settings > Users & Companies > SAML Providers).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.
Setting the option immediately remove all password from users with a configured SAML ids.If all the users have a SAML id in a single provider, you can set automatic redirection
in the provider settings. The autoredirection will only be done on the active provider
with the highest priority. It is still possible to access the login without redirection
by using the query parameterdisable_autoredirect, as inhttps://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.UsageUsers can login with the configured SAML IdP with buttons added in the login screen.Known issues / Roadmapclean upauth_saml.requestChangelog15.0.1.1.0Fix the module by adding a transaction to commit the token.Fix the disallow password for users with SAML ids.
Added tests to ensure the feature works correctly.
Admin user is also an exception from not having a password. In Odoo 15.0, this is the standard user to connect for administrative task, not the super user.Improve provider form and list views.Add auto redirect on providers. Use disable_autoredirect as a parameter query to disable automatic redirection (for examplehttps://example.com/web/login?disable_autoredirect=)Add certificate file name fields to improve the UI.Add required on several fields of the SAML provider; without them the server will crash and there is not enough information to make SAML work.Split signing to have finer control and be compatible with more IDP.Integrate token into res.users.saml, removing auth_saml.token. No need for a separate table, and no more need to create lines in the table.Avoid server errors when user try metadata page without necessary parameters.Replace method call fromodoo.http.redirect_with_hashtorequest.redirectas the former does not exists in Odoo 15.0 anymore.Improved the module documentation.15.0.1.0.0Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
