SAML Jackson: Open Source Enterprise SSO And Directory Sync

OpenSSF Best Practices Badge NPM downloads badge Docker pull statistics badge Apache 2.0 license badge Open Github issues badge Github stargazers Nodejs version support badge Swagger Validator badge

SAML Jackson bridges or proxies a SAML login flow to OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect, abstracting away all the complexities of the SAML protocol. It also supports Directory Sync via the SCIM 2.0 protocol for automatic user and group provisioning/de-provisioning.

We now also support OpenID Connect providers.

Directory Sync

SAML Jackson also supports Directory Sync based on the SCIM 2.0 protocol.

Directory sync helps organizations automate the provisioning and de-provisioning of their users. As a result, it streamlines the user lifecycle management process by saving valuable organizational hours, creating a single truth source of the user identity data, and facilitating them to keep the data secure.

🚀 Getting Started with SAML Jackson

There are two ways to integrate SAML Jackson into an application. Depending on your use case, you can choose either of them.

  1. As a separate service(Next.jsapplication) This includes an admin portal out of the box for managing SSO and Directory Sync connections.
  2. NPM libraryas an embedded library in your application.

Deploying SAML Jackson as a separate service locally

Let's get you to Hello SAML Jackson in no time.

Prerequisites

  • Node.jsat version18.14.2or higher

It is generally a good idea to install and maintain Node.js versions using a version manager likenvmornvson Windows. Moreinformation is available here.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github /boxyhq/jackson.git
cdjackson

Install dependencies

npm i

Setup environment variables

Create a.envfrom the existing.env.examplefile in the root of the project.

cp.env.example.env

Environment variable documentation:Have a look athttps://boxyhq /docs/jackson/deploy/env-variablesfor all of the available environment variables.

Database

For the rest of the setup, we will use a PostgreSQL database. The easiest way to get PostgreSQL up and running on macOS is by using Postgres.app. You can download it fromhttps://postgresapp /.

For other operating systems and alternative options for MacOS, please see thedocumentation available on the Prisma website.

Start the development server

Now that we have our database running we can start the development server. But before we do, we need a way to log into the admin portal.

To log in to the admin portal we either need toconfigure magic links,orenable username and passwordlogin. The easiest one, and the one we will use, is to enable username and password login.

In your.envfind theNEXTAUTH_ADMIN_CREDENTIALSenvironment variable. We need to provide anemail:passwordcombination that we can then use to log in to the admin portal. For example:

NEXTAUTH_ADMIN_CREDENTIALS=admin@example:password

Now we can start the development server:

npm run dev

Openhttp://localhost:5225in your browser and you should be redirected to the login screen.

At the login screen, you can now use the username and password you set in theNEXTAUTH_ADMIN_CREDENTIALSenvironment variable to log in. Click "Sign In" and you should be logged in and see the SSO Connections page with no configured connections. We have reached Hello SAML Jackson!
