Clarification on SSO #85

Open Dolphineatsburger opened 2 years ago

Dolphineatsburger commented 2 years ago

Hi I just want to confirm that this uses this feature? https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/saml_sso/ or was there another SSO feature on gitlab?

Hi,

Mattermost-LDAP only emulates the Oauth2 server provides by GitLab. Thus Mattermost-LDAP is an SSO provider but it does not support SAML.

Mattermost-LDAP allows to authenticate users against an LDAP server, but do not manage groups or permissions. These are offered by the SAML feature.

Basically, Mattermost-LDAP implements this sequence diagram where you can replace 'GitLab' by 'Mattermost-LDAP'.

I hope this answer your question,

Regards
