SAML

Category: Modules
Subcategory: Authentication

Overview

Use this module to implement single sign-on to your Mendix app using a SAML 2.0 compliant identity provider (IDP).  Also the Shibboleth protocol is supported.

Tested against AzureAD and used by customers with a range of SAML IdP’s, this module manages the end-to-end SSO workflow when working with a SAML IDP. The IDP will relieve your app from logging in your end-users and optionally will also decide which roles the user gets assigned in your app, using mechanism from the SAML protocol.

Mendix also offers an “OIDC SSO”  module to authenticate your end-users using the OAuth / OpenID Connect protocol.
