SAML / Desktop App errors

🍱 Features & apps user-saml
1

I have NC13.0.1 installed and connected to Azure AD using the user_saml App. User log in to the web interface, as well as Android App using AD credentials is working, but the desktop app (on MacOS) is giving an error when attempting to authenticate the user. The error is"

The authenticated request to the server was redirected to ‘https://cloud.creativedrive.com/index.php/apps/user_saml/saml/login?requesttoken=…&originalUrl=’. The URL is bad, the server is misconfigured.

Anyone got the desktop app to work using SAML?

Hi!

I have a similar issue with SAML and Desktop Client. I use ADSF for SSO & SAML authentication. In web it works fine. But when start Nextcloud Desktop Client, fill in the server address and click Next I see a white box and nothing happens.

When I workaround an create the %localappdata%\Nextcloud\nextcloud.cfg manually with following content:

[Accounts]
0\url=https://nextcloud.domainname.local
0\http_user=samaccountname
0\authType=http
0\user=samaccountname

I get following:

Hi Enno!

I’ve connected Nextcloud SAML to our internel ADFS Server. Try this guide: https://rephlex.de/blog/2018/04/05/how-to-connect-nextcloud-to-active-directory-using-ad-fs-without-losing-your-mind/
