Single Sign On

[MichaelBarth]

Hi, I really try hard to realize a single sign on solution using the external app but I don‘t get it.

I want to authorize the user automatically by the nextcloud credentals but how should I? Is there a workaround?

OAuth2? But how? I need the uid to check, if the user is logged in, but the uid is unsafe in the url parameter, becaus you can change it manually.

Pleas help! I am stuck in this issue and I need it for a learning platform for my school using the nextcloud.

Thank you so much for helping!

Sincerely

Michael

You should look maybe into "Keycloak", "oauth2-proxy"(if the external app does not support oauth2 or openid) and the Nextcloud app "Social Login".

Thank you for helping but unfortunately I don't know how to "oauth2" ...

For me it would be perfekt just to have an additional hash sent together width the URL - params, so I can check, if the URL - Data is not modified. So what I wish is:

• the possibility to add an password for a site, that is used to create a hash, wich is additionally sent with the URL-params
• an API-callback (mycloud/external/validateURL/password) I can use to check, if the URL-parameters are right.

I think, some people say, that ist not save enough. But it prevents simply modifying the URL-params, and that is enough for me

@MichaelBarth did you have any luck getting this to work? To me this idea sounds like it is out of scope for this app for now, but I can see that something like this makes sense. If you got it working, could you outline the steps needed for this so that other people can follow them?
