SSO via CB proprietary Login/Register ?

6 years 2 months ago #302215 by MMDoege
Hello,

in the long run we're looking to providing CB users with SSO to selected (external) cloud apps when they have subscribed to them (by eg. CB Subs).
CB users then would access (login to) cloud apps via Joomla menu item being available when subscription is true.

We were talking to miniOrange about their Joomla SAML compliant idP plugin and services.
In this case a Joomla app acts like an ID provider requiring modifications to Joomla's Login/Registration management (which is a standard offering).
As we've set CB to "overrule" Joomla for user management we're wondering if CB Login/Register has to be modified instead.

Has anyone - any 3rd party - inquired about this up to date?
Any experiences?
Is our assumption correct concerning CB Login/Register or does this no matter?

Thank you in advance.
Regards, Michael.

SSO is usually done via a Joomla authentication plugin. If you've already created one simply set CB to check for them within CB > Configuration > General by adjusting the Login Method parameter to check authentication plugins. If you have not created such a plugin I highly recommend doing so.

Modifying core code is absolutely bad practice and won't be maintainable. We also do not support core modifications. To clarify what we mean by that if you should have an issue that requires our review of your install you must revert all core modifications or we will not provide support.

If you just want to push CB/Joomla information to an external service then you can use CB Auto Actions for that using a Code or Query action depending on if you need PHP or just SQL.
