Question about authentication

[alexcvcoelho]

Hello

I work in Facens, one college in Brazil, and we need use Fab Manager in us Fab Lab, but for this use is necessary authenticate a student in another database, but people that not be students need use the system too. My question is, with OAuth2 authentication I can register others peoples that isn't students with customers?

Thanks

Hi @alexcvcoelho,

If you enable OAuth2 authentication; this will be exclusive. So only people registered on your OAuth2 server will be able to connect to fab-manager.

Anyway, the OAuth2 server is yours, so you can configure the users and the policies you want on this server ... It mainly depends on the OAuth2 system you uses and its possibilities.

I hope this answers your question ...

Thank you very much @Sylvain that was my question.

Bonjour @Sylvain,

I have a question regarding the authentication too.
Is it possible to integrate ADFS (windows credentials) as an authentication system of fabmanager?
We need to allow the access only to people with our university email and a second authentication system for external users.
Is there already an example of such an integration?

thank you for letting me know.

Hi Serana,

I don't really know ADFS, but I think it must be compatible with an LDAP authentication? If it is the case, we have planned to integrate this authentication method in Fab-manager, for our 2021 roadmap. In the meantime, unless your authentification provider supports oauth2, I'm affraid there no way to connect FM to it.

Best regards,
Sylvain
