SAML Identity Provider
for Joomla

A Joomla SAML Identity Provider allows Joomla to act as the authentication source for other applications and websites. Users can log in to Joomla once and securely access connected Service Providers without needing separate credentials.

Joomla authenticates users locally and sends SAML responses to connected Service Providers after successful login. This enables Single Sign-On between Joomla and external applications while maintaining centralized user authentication.

Joomla SAML IdP can connect with any SAML 2.0 compatible Service Provider including WordPress, Shopify, Salesforce, Moodle, Zendesk, Tableau, Freshdesk, and custom enterprise applications.

A single Joomla login session can be used to access multiple connected applications through SAML authentication. This creates a centralized login experience and reduces the need for users to manage multiple passwords.

Joomla SAML IdP supports sending user attributes such as username, email, first name, last name, and custom profile fields to connected Service Providers during SSO login.

miniOrange does not transfer any data outside your system or store Personal Identifiable Information externally. All Joomla extensions operate on premise, meaning user data remains within your server environment. For the Joomla MFA extension, only the user’s email address is required. In case of risk based authentication, information such as device type, IP address, location, and login time may be used to evaluate risk and control access. Check our terms and conditions here.

Existing Joomla users can authenticate directly through the Joomla SAML Identity Provider without migrating accounts to another platform. This helps organizations use Joomla as a centralized authentication system while keeping current user data intact.

Joomla SAML IdP is commonly used for employee portals, partner platforms, educational systems, and internal business applications that require centralized authentication and secure access management.
