Joomla SAML SSO Use Cases

Joomla Single sign-on is an authentication process that allows a user to login to many integrated Joomla applications using a single Identity (username and password). Joomla single sign-on enables users to log in once and access services without having to re-enter login credentials.

1. Auto Sync Data to 3rd Party Add-Ons Using SSO

Requirement

When a user performs SSO, data should be entered into a third-party add-ons table.

Solution

When performing single sign-on between IDP and the Joomla site. When a user is authenticated by an identity provider, the user login to Joomla. After authentication, the Identity Provider must send some type of data stored in the Identity Provider to a third-party application that is already integrated with Joomla. Obtaining information in the form of attributes sent by IDP to SP as Joomla. These attributes are then displayed on third-party applications or in articles.

2. Backend Login to Joomla using SSO

Requirement

A client wants to allow users with admin access to login to the backend of Joomla after performing SSO.

Solution

We provide backend login to following roles:-

1. Superuser/ Admin and their child groups
2. Manager and their child groups

If users with any of the above roles perform SSO, then they will be logged in and redirected to the Joomla backend. Else they will be logged in and redirected to Joomla frontend. While performing SSO, when we receive a SAML response from your IDP, our Joomla SAML SP plugin confirms the role of the user who is performing SSO.
