Authentication guide - SAML
 | 
						|
===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Note:** *This guide was written before the renaming. Just replace `HackMD` with `CodiMD` in your mind :smile: thanks!*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The basic procedure is the same as the case of OneLogin which is mentioned in [OneLogin-Guide](./saml-onelogin.md). If you want to match your IdP, you can use more configurations as below.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* If your IdP accepts metadata XML of the service provider to ease configuration, use this url to download metadata XML.
 | 
						|
    * {{your-serverurl}}/auth/saml/metadata
 | 
						|
    * _Note: If not accessible from IdP, download to local once and upload to IdP._
 | 
						|
* Change the value of `issuer`, `identifierFormat` to match your IdP.
 | 
						|
  * `issuer`: A unique id to identify the application to the IdP, which is the base URL of your CodiMD as default
 | 
						|
  * `identifierFormat`: A format of unique id to identify the user of IdP, which is the format based on email address as default. It is recommend that you use as below.
 | 
						|
    * urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress (default)
 | 
						|
    * urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified
 | 
						|
  * `config.json`:
 | 
						|
    ```javascript
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
      "production": {
 | 
						|
        "saml": {
 | 
						|
          /* omitted */
 | 
						|
          "issuer": "mycodimd"
 | 
						|
          "identifierFormat": "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified"
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
  * environment variables
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_ISSUER=mycodimd
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_IDENTIFIERFORMAT=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Change mapping of attribute names to customize the displaying user name and email address to match your IdP.
 | 
						|
  * `attribute`: A dictionary to map attribute names
 | 
						|
  * `attribute.id`: A primary key of user table for your CodiMD
 | 
						|
  * `attribute.username`: Attribute name of displaying user name on CodiMD
 | 
						|
  * `attribute.email`: Attribute name of email address, which will be also used for Gravatar
 | 
						|
    * _Note: Default value of all attributes is NameID of SAML response, which is email address if `identifierFormat` is default._
 | 
						|
  * `config.json`:
 | 
						|
    ```javascript
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
      "production": {
 | 
						|
        "saml": {
 | 
						|
          /* omitted */
 | 
						|
          "attribute": {
 | 
						|
            "id": "sAMAccountName",
 | 
						|
            "username": "displayName",
 | 
						|
            "email": "mail"
 | 
						|
          }
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
  * environment variables
 | 
						|
    ```sh
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_ATTRIBUTE_ID=sAMAccountName
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_ATTRIBUTE_USERNAME=nickName
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_ATTRIBUTE_EMAIL=mail
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* If you want to control permission by group membership, add group attribute name and required group (allowed) or external group (not allowed).
 | 
						|
  * `groupAttribute`: An attribute name of group membership
 | 
						|
  * `requiredGroups`: Group names array for allowed access to CodiMD. Use vertical bar to separate for environment variables.
 | 
						|
  * `externalGroups`: Group names array for not allowed access to CodiMD. Use vertical bar to separate for environment variables.
 | 
						|
    * _Note: Evaluates `externalGroups` first_
 | 
						|
  * `config.json`:
 | 
						|
    ```javascript
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
      "production": {
 | 
						|
        "saml": {
 | 
						|
          /* omitted */
 | 
						|
          "groupAttribute": "memberOf",
 | 
						|
          "requiredGroups": [ "codimd-users", "board-members" ],
 | 
						|
          "externalGroups": [ "temporary-staff" ]
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
  * environment variables
 | 
						|
    ```sh
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_GROUPATTRIBUTE=memberOf
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_REQUIREDGROUPS=codimd-users|board-members
 | 
						|
    CMD_SAML_EXTERNALGROUPS=temporary-staff
 | 
						|
    ```
