is it possible to enable SSO based login for OSS GRAFANA version? We saw the docs, SSO is not active for OSS version. Is there a way to enable SSO. We tried using NGINX as the reverse proxy layer to define the SAML configuration.
Yes, OSS Grafana supports SSO - Open ID Connect SSO protocol - https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/auth/generic-oauth/
If you need native SAML SSO protocol support, then you need Enterprise Grafana.
Of course you may try to hack it also with OSS Grafana. For example with Grafana with auth proxy authentification and some SAML auth proxy (e.g. Apache with Shiboleth) in front of Grafana - but that needs proper skill to set up everything properly.
The last post is from Jun 2020.
Did anything change in this regard?
Is it possible by now to intergrade Grafana OSS native SAML SSO protocol?
No. It doesn’t make sense to add enterprise feature into OSS Grafana version from the business perspective.
Hi jangaraj
Thank you for your quick reply.
Do I understand it right. " auth proxy authentication" would/should work with Grafana OSS though.
No, that’s only for SAML.
OSS Grafana version supports also OIDC and any good IDP server supports SAML and OIDC.
