Configure Single Sign-On

Loft supports all major Single-Sign-On (SSO) providers. To configure SSO for Loft, expand the desired SSO provider (e.g. Google, Okta, GitHub) field listed below and follow the instructions provided.

Domain Required

Most SSO provider connections do not allow localhost and require that you set up a domain for your Loft instance first.

SSO Configuration Examples

GitHub
  1. Create A GitHub App

    In GitHub, navigate to Settings > Developer Settings > OAuth Apps and create a new OAuth App with the following settings:

    Remember the $GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and $GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET that GitHub generates for your OAuth application because you will need it in the next step.

  2. Create Loft Config For GitHub

    To tell Loft to use github for SSO, navigate to Admin > Config in Loft and adjust your config as shown below:

    auth:
    # Tell loft to use github authentication
    github:
    #
    #
    # REQUIRED CONFIGURATION
    #
    #
    # ClientID of the github application. Can be string literal or pulled from the environment.
    clientId: $CLIENTID
    # ClientSecret of the github application. Can be string literal or pulled from the environment.
    clientSecret: $CLIENTSECRET
    # Callback URL in the form of https://your-loft-domain/auth/github/callback
    redirectURI: https://loft.my.domain/auth/github/callback
    #
    #
    # OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION
    #
    #
    # (Optional) Loft queries the following organizations for group information.
    # Group claims are formatted as "(org):(team)".
    # For example if a user is part of the "engineering" team of the "coreos"
    # org, the group claim would include "coreos:engineering".
    #
    # If orgs are specified in the config then user MUST be a member of at least one
    # of the specified orgs to authenticate with loft.
    orgs:
    # Organization name in github (not slug, full name)
    - name: My Organization
    # (Optional) Names of teams in a github organization. A user will be able to
    # authenticate if they are members of at least one of these teams.
    teams:
    - myteam
    # (Optional) Required ONLY for GitHub Enterprise.
    # This is the Hostname of the GitHub Enterprise account listed on the
    # management console.
    hostName: my-github.org
    # (Optional) Required ONLY for GitHub Enterprise.
    # Used to support self-signed or untrusted CA root certificates.
    rootCA: /certs/github.ca
  3. Authenticate via GitHub

    After saving the new Loft configuration, Loft will restart and you should be able to log in via GitHub. Beware that only members of your organization on GitHub can sign in and that everyone must grant access to view their organization during the login process.

    Must Grant Access To Organization

    Users must grant access to the organization you configured dex for in step 2 above, otherwise they will not be able to log in.

  4. Disable Username + Password Authentication (optional)

    To disable password-based authentication, navigate to Admin > Config add these two lines to your config:

    auth:
    oidc: ... # This is your SSO configuration (make sure this is working!)

    Next select "Web" App and make sure OpenID Connect is the single sign on method.

    Create App for loft
    Okta - Web App with OpenID Connect as single sign on method

    In the next screen make sure the login redirect URIs contain your Loft instance domain:

    # Exchange the ${my-loft-domain.com} with your Loft domain
    https://${my-loft-domain.com}/auth/oidc/callback
    Create App for loft
    Okta - The App settings for Loft
  2. Enable Refresh Tokens

    After creating an Okta app for Loft, ensure that "Refresh Token" is checked under "Allowed grant types" - otherwise your users will have to re-login everytime after a session expires.

    Create App for loft
    Okta - App Settings: Enable Refresh Tokens
  3. Enable Group Claims

    If you want to propagate the users groups to Loft, then make sure the Group Filters in Okta are set accordingly. If you want to propagate all groups, add a RegEx filter with '.*'

    Okta Assign Peoples
    Okta - Propagate User Groups To Loft
  4. Configure Loft To Use Okta

    Create App for loft
    Okta - Client ID and Secret For App

    After configuring Okta for Loft, navigate to Admin > Config in Loft and enter the following configuration:

    #
    # SSO URL used for POST value.
    ssoURL: https://saml.example.com/sso
    # CA to use when validating the signature of the SAML response.
    ca: /path/to/ca.pem
    # CA's can also be provided inline as a base64'd blob.
    #
    # caData: ( RAW base64'd PEM encoded CA )
    # Callback URL in the form of https://your-loft-domain/auth/saml/callback
    redirectURI: https://loft.my.domain/auth/saml/callback
    # Name of attributes in the returned assertions to map to ID token claims.
    usernameAttr: name

    groupsAttr: groups # optional
    #
    #
    # OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION
    #
    #
    # (Optional) List of groups to filter access based on membership
    allowedGroups: ["Admins"]
    # (Optional) To skip signature validation, uncomment the following field. This should
    # only be used during testing and may be removed in the future
    insecureSkipSignatureValidation: true
    # (Optional) Manually specify loft's Issuer value.
    # When provided loft will include this as the Issuer value during AuthnRequest.
    # It will also override the redirectURI as the required audience when evaluating
    # AudienceRestriction elements in the response.
    entityIssuer: https://loft.my.domain/auth/saml/callback
    # (Optional) Issuer value expected in the SAML response.
    ssoIssuer: https://saml.example.com/sso
    # (Optional) Delimiter for splitting groups returned as a single string.
    #
    # By default, multiple groups are assumed to be represented as multiple
    # attributes with the same name.
    #
    # If "groupsDelim" is provided groups are assumed to be represented as a
    # single attribute and the delimiter is used to split the attribute's value
    # into multiple groups.
    groupsDelim: ", "
    # (Optional) Requested format of the NameID.
    #
    # The NameID value is is mapped to the user ID of the user. This can be an
    # abbreviated form of the full URI with just the last component. For example,
    # if this value is set to "emailAddress" the format will resolve to:
    #
    # urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
    #
    # If no value is specified, this value defaults to:
    #
    # urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent
    #
    nameIDPolicyFormat: persistent
  2. Authenticate via SAML

    After saving the new Loft configuration, Loft will restart itself and you should be able to log in via SAML.

  3. Disable Username + Password Authentication (optional)

    To disable password-based authentication, navigate to Admin > Config add these two lines to your config:

    connectors:
    - type: ldap
    id: ldap
    name: LDAP
    config:
    host: myldap.company.tld:636 # Your LDAP server hostname:port
    # insecureNoSSL: true # Not recommended but required if not using TLS (port 389)
    # insecureSkipVerify: true # Not recommended but required for self-signed certificates
    # rootCAData: ( base64 encoded PEM file )
    # startTLS: true # Use ldap:// instead of ldaps:// protocol

    # The DN and password for an application service account. The connector uses
    # these credentials to search for users and groups. Not required if the LDAP
    # server provides access for anonymous auth.
    # Please note that if the bind password contains a `$`, it has to be saved in an
    # environment variable which should be given as the value to `bindPW`.
    bindDN: uid=serviceaccount,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com
    bindPW: password

    # User search maps a username and password entered by a user to a LDAP entry.
    userSearch:
    # BaseDN to start the search from. It will translate to the query
    # "(&(objectClass=person)(uid=<username>))".
    baseDN: cn=users,dc=example,dc=com
    # Optional filter to apply when searching the directory.
    filter: "(objectClass=person)"
    # username attribute used for comparing user entries. This will be translated
    # and combined with the other filter as "(<attr>=<username>)".
    username: uid
    # The following three fields are direct mappings of attributes on the user entry.
    # String representation of the user.
    idAttr: uid
    # Required. Attribute to map to Email.
    emailAttr: mail
    # Maps to display name of users. No default value.
    nameAttr: name

    # Group search queries for groups given a user entry.
    groupSearch:
    # BaseDN to start the search from. It will translate to the query
    # "(&(objectClass=group)(member=<user uid>))".
    baseDN: cn=groups,dc=freeipa,dc=example,dc=com
    # Optional filter to apply when searching the directory.
    filter: "(objectClass=group)"
    # Represents group name.
    nameAttr: name
    # Following list contains field pairs that are used to match a user to a group. It adds an additional
    # requirement to the filter that an attribute in the group must match the user's
    # attribute value.
    userMatchers:
    - userAttr: uid
    groupAttr: member
    staticClients:
    - name: Loft
    id: loft # Define a $DEX_CLIENT_ID
    secret: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX # Define a $DEX_CLIENT_SECRET (can be any secret key)
    redirectURIs:
    - 'https://loft.mycompany.tld/auth/oidc/callback' # Loft URL + /auth/oidc/callback
    oauth2:
    skipApprovalScreen: true
    web:
    http: 0.0.0.0:5556
    storage:
    type: kubernetes
    config:
    inCluster: true

    For details about configuring dex for LDAP, take a look at the dex documentation for LDAP.

  3. Deploy Dex via Helm

    caFile: "" # Optional: Path to a CA cert of dex within the Loft container (default: '')
  5. Authenticate via Dex + $OTHER_PROVIDER

    After saving the new Loft configuration, Loft will restart itself and you should be able to log in via $OTHER_PROVIDER and dex.

  6. Disable Username + Password Authentication (optional)

    To disable password-based authentication, navigate to Admin > Config add these two lines to your config:

    auth:
    oidc: ... # This is your SSO configuration (make sure this is working!)
    password:
    disabled: true # Disable password-based authentication

Multiple SSO Providers

In Loft, you can also configure multiple SSO providers together. This can be a very handy feature if you have multiple groups using different authentication providers based on team or geographical region. Configuration of multiple SSO providers of the same type is also possible. The latter is configured by using the "connectors" option. Below is an example Loft config "auth" section that contains three SSO providers (one OIDC, and two GitHub providers). When users log into Loft with such a configuration present, they will see three options for authentication as well as the default user/password box (which can be disabled if desired).

auth:
github:
clientId: test123
clientSecret: test123
redirectURI: https://my-loft-url/auth/github/callback
oidc:
clientId: test
clientSecret: test
issuerUrl: https://example-issuer.com
redirectURI: https://my-loft-url/auth/oidc/callback
# If you want to use multiple SSO configs of the same type you can use the connectors option
connectors:
# the id of the connector that will show up in the loft callback url
- id: test
# name to show in the UI
displayName: Test GitHub
# any regular sso config
github:
clientId: test
clientSecret: test
# Make sure to exchange test here with the connector id if you change that
