If you need to integrate with an authentication system not natively supported (such as LDAP, Shibboleth, or custom SSO), you can implement a '''custom login script''' using the [[WEB_API#Custom_Login|Web API]].
The VoIPmonitor GUI supports the following alternatives to SSO:


For LDAP examples, see the `scripts/ldap_custom_login_example.php` file in your GUI directory.
* '''Local user accounts''' - Standard username/password authentication
* '''Two Factor Authentication (2FA)''' - See [[2FA]]
* '''Web server authentication''' - Apache Basic Auth or similar (not SSO)
* '''Custom login scripts''' - For integrating with authentication systems where the web server has already authenticated the user (e.g., LDAP via mod_authnz_ldap). See [[WEB_API#Custom_Login]]. Note: Custom login scripts can only integrate with systems that use standard HTTP authentication headers - they cannot implement SSO protocols like Shibboleth or SAML.

SSO Authentication Support in VoIPmonitor GUI

The VoIPmonitor GUI supports Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication through specific providers.

Currently Supported SSO Methods

Unsupported SSO Methods

  • Shibboleth - Not supported at this time
  • SAML-based SSO - Not supported at this time
  • Other IdP/LDAP SSO solutions - Not supported at this time

Future Support

Support for additional SSO methods (including Shibboleth) is planned for a future release. Check the FAQ or release notes for updates on features under development.

Authentication Alternatives

The VoIPmonitor GUI supports the following alternatives to SSO:

  • Local user accounts - Standard username/password authentication
  • Two Factor Authentication (2FA) - See 2FA
  • Web server authentication - Apache Basic Auth or similar (not SSO)
  • Custom login scripts - For integrating with authentication systems where the web server has already authenticated the user (e.g., LDAP via mod_authnz_ldap). See WEB_API#Custom_Login. Note: Custom login scripts can only integrate with systems that use standard HTTP authentication headers - they cannot implement SSO protocols like Shibboleth or SAML.

AI Summary for RAG
