This module allows to use server env for SAML configuration
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets administrators configure SAML single sign-on settings (identity provider metadata, certificates, entity ID) from server environment configuration files instead of typing them in Odoo, and adds file-path fields for the SAML certificates.
This module extends the SAML provider configuration so that its settings can come from the server's environment configuration files rather than being entered by hand in Odoo. It works together with the SAML authentication module and the server environment module.
On the SAML provider form, two new fields appear next to the public and private certificate fields: a path for the public certificate and a path for the private key. The original certificate fields become read-only, so they are filled from the configuration files instead of being edited directly.
The following settings can be read from the environment: the identity provider metadata, the service provider base URL, the public certificate path, the private key path and the entity ID. The module also makes the identity provider metadata, public certificate, private key and entity ID optional on the provider record.
When Odoo needs the certificate or key, it first looks at the configured file paths and falls back to the standard behaviour if no path is set. The configuration is grouped under a global section named auth_saml_provider in the server configuration files.
In short, it moves SAML setup out of the database and into deployment configuration, which is useful when the same configuration must be shared across several databases or environments.
