Indico SSO Group Mapping

An Indico plugin to map SSO groups to local Indico groups.

Installation

You can install the plugin directly from PyPI:

pip install indico-plugin-sso-group-mapping

After installation, activate the plugin via adding it to the PLUGINS variable in indico.conf:

PLUGINS = {'sso_group_mapping'}

Functionality

This plugin adds users logging in via a given identity provider, configurably filtered by the domain of the identity, to a configurable local group. The goal is to grant privileges (such as room booking) to all users using a given identity provider and, optionally, identity domain. An example use case would be Shibboleth SSO via federated identities, only granting those users with a given identity domain local privileges.

Furthermore, this plugin features a celery cron job which can optionally clean out users from the local group after they have not used the configured identity provider and identity domain for a configured number of days. This covers changes in a user's affiliation.

Settings

After installation, the plugin (named SSO Group Mapping) offers various settings in the Admin backend in the Plugins category of the sidebar.

Provider

The identity provider to which accounts need to be associated to be added to the group.

Identities Domain

If non-empty, identities must match given domain.

Local Users Group

Enable daily Local Users Group cleanup

Enable periodic cleanup of Local Users Group for SSO accounts without login in configured days.
