OAuth for Admin Login

Post by Soilborn »

As a sort of preamble, I feel like this is a super simple issue that I’m simply overlooking and likely up to user error on my part.

That said, everything Google has provided, and indeed a cursory search of this forum as well, seems to focus purely on OAuth authentication for emails. I however am attempting to set up OAuth authentication to access the admin panel.

This seems like a basic inclusion, especially if the application uses OAuth integration for other functions. Is the option in here and I’m just overlooking it?

What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: oauth login

Unfortunately no, there is currently no OAuth available for login, only for email integration.

Okay, so after a chat with my department manager about this, I have a few follow-up questions.

Is the option unlocked with the purchase and application of a license? I assume the answer is no as I never specified if I was using free or paid in the original question, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask.

And the big one which I'm not hopeful about: how difficult would it be to tear into the actual code to implement OAuth SSO myself? With the additional caveats that it would need to be part of a Docker deployment and update-proof?

Correct, this is not available in any version of Hesk.

The free and licensed versions are the same, the license just removes "powered by" credits from Hesk. The Cloud version has some additional modules, but not related to SSO/OAuth.

Regarding the big one: I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that. The two obvious options are to try to tackle it yourself (your team) or instead look for a solution that has SSO implemented already.
