I am currently thinking about deploying Overleaf as part of a bunch of self hosted solutions that we use for school (because what the school provides is not that great). Currently we use HedgeDoc for quick collaborative note taking, but when I found out about Overleaf I immediately thought that it would be super cool to have it for documents that are more than just notes. Problem is, I use Keycloak for Authentication using OpenIDc, which seems not to be supported in Overleaf. Am I just missing something or are there plans to implement OpenIDc in the future? Thank you - Jens
PS: I know that Overleaf Server Pro does support SAML, but buying a license for only ~5 people does not really make sense, especially since we only use this for school and don't make any profit with it.
You may modified the AuthenticationController.js and the AuthenticationManager.js to add a wrapper of the registration process to enable keycloak openid auth or LDAP auth of the overleaf instance. You may check the modified code here: https://mirrors.sustech.edu.cn/git/sustech-cra/overleaf-ldap-oauth2/-/tree/main/ldap-overleaf-sl/sharelatex
(I also wrote a brief article about these modifications in Chinese: https://sparktour.me/2022/06/11/self-host-overleaf-with-ldap-and-oauth2-support/)
@sparkcyf seems like a nice solution. is there a keycloak (openid) standalone functionality available? does it also supports openid scopes like groups/roles?
@mserranom
Hi, I just add a builtin openid connect client in the keyclock and change the "Client Authenticator" settings to "Clientid and Secret" without any other modifications. If you want to support the openid scopes, you may add some futher conditional judgment in AuthenticationController.js to allow specify group/roles to login via your provider.
Hello !
Is there any news about a OpenID support working directly in overleaf without having to modify some code ?
Ty !
@sparkcyf this is great, thank you! By any chance could you update it for the overleaf 3.5 when have time?
@sparkcyf Do you know if your nice Oauth implementation works with the the 4.xx of overleaf? (I'm fiddling with it but so far without success)
https://github.com/smhaller/ldap-overleaf-sl - LDAP for 4.1.1 is available here
