Hi

ver 3.9

We want to use the Moodle APP authenticating against IDP with SAML Authentication

Any help, advice or recommendations, or found problems, in your experience?

Thank you very much

Regards

I can't answer your question, I don't know the inner workings of the Moodle Mobile App. My question is, whether its login process is fundamentally different from a browser logging in? I ask because SAML authentication works with both plug-ins https://moodle.org/plugins/auth_saml and https://moodle.org/plugins/auth_saml2. See for example https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=430876 in the Authentication forum.

Or, do you want single-sign-on? Is there such a thing for a Mobile App?

Hi Paco,

it should work with the Moodle app without any issue, just take a look at this https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Moodle_app_guide_for_admins#SSO_authentication_method so you can configure the app to support it (it will make the user to authenticate via a browser, instead of withing th eapp)
