Kanboard SAML Authentication Plugin

Plugin for Kanboard 👌

This is a plugin that allows Kanboard to be used as a SP (Service Provider) and authenticate against an IDP (Identity Provider) via the SAML2 protocol.

Instructions

Download the plugin and upload it to the /plugins directory of your Kanboard install. Then login with your admin account and fill out the required fields under Settings → Integrations. Click Save settings to store the data, and then Generate metadata. The resulting XML file can be used to set up your identity provider.

After filling out all of the fields, click the Save button before clicking Generate Metadata.

Requirements

This plugin expects to find the private/public certs for the server as well as the public cert for the IDP in /var/kanboard-certs. These should be called:

• sp-private.crt
• sp-public.crt
• idp-public.crt

They should also be readable by your webserver user. (e.g. apache, nginx, etc.)

Webserver

This plugin expects to have the DOM extension for php. This can be installed on Debian / Ubuntu using:

# apt install php5-dom

And on CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat:

# yum install php-xml

However, since using Kanboard with MySQL/MariaDB requires PHP 7.1, if you followed the instructions to enable the webtastic yum repository, you can install this extension with:

# yum install php71w-xml
