Shibboleth and other auth modules
Overview
This page documents Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication support in the VoIPmonitor GUI, including currently supported methods and available alternatives.
Currently Supported SSO Methods
| Method | Status | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| Google Sign-In (OAuth 2.0) | Supported | Google_Sign_in_usage |
Unsupported SSO Methods
The following SSO methods are not currently supported:
- Shibboleth - Not supported
- SAML-based SSO - Not supported
- Other IdP/LDAP SSO solutions - Not supported
Support for additional SSO methods (including Shibboleth and SAML) may be considered for future releases. Check the FAQ or release notes for updates.
Authentication Alternatives
If your required SSO method is not supported, the VoIPmonitor GUI offers these alternatives:
| Method | Description | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| Local user accounts | Standard username/password authentication | Built-in |
| Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) | Additional security layer for local accounts | 2FA |
| Web server authentication | Apache Basic Auth, Digest Auth, or similar | Server configuration |
| Custom login scripts | Integration with pre-authenticated sessions | WEB_API#Custom_Login |
Custom Login Scripts Limitations
Custom login scripts can integrate with authentication systems where the web server has already authenticated the user (e.g., LDAP via mod_authnz_ldap). However, they have the following limitations:
- Can only work with systems using standard HTTP authentication headers
- Cannot implement SSO protocols like Shibboleth or SAML
- Require the web server to handle the actual authentication
