Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 5.15.20.17

 

I have recently installed the BETA copy of the software controller and I am mostly happy with it so far. We previously had numerous OC200 controllers - one per site.

 

Under "Accounts" I see there is provision for  SAML User and SAML Role. 

 

Am I correct to think that by using these functions I should be able to configure login to the controller to be needing an approved Microsoft EntraID account  ?

 

Would there be any documentation/guidance available for how to configure on the Omada Controller and within Entra ? 

 

 

Thanks,

>>> Yes. 

 

Currently, we don't have a guide about this config. Do you have any question when configuring it?

  @Vincent-TP When Trying to configure this with authentik, I receive an error saying invalid parametrs when I load the data from a url or file. If I enter the data manually I get an error saying invalid format on the Entity ID. What format does the entity ID need? Also do you know when docs will be available for this?

Sorry Vincent, I would need guidance on both ends - the Controller and the Microsoft end.

 

By the look of it I would create a "custom app" under IntraID Enterprise Applications ?

 

 

I basically want to be able to use our Microsoft AD/Entra usernames and passwords to log into the omada controller (running on Windows Server on our domain).

 

 

Thanks,

This is now in Stable release as well 5.15.20.19.  I still can't find any official documentation on how to configure with the major IdPs (Entra, Google, Okta)...

 

I am very familiar with setting up SAML apps within our Entra tenant but so many questions regarding your implementation.

 

Specifically for on-prem hosted controllers:

 

How does enabling SAML interoperate if you have enabled cloud access and have cloud enabled users?

Does SAML redirect through your cloud services to reach our on-prem box?

Or is this local only and cloud users can still login separately with their TPLink IDs?

If thats the case then we will need to configure some kind of reverse proxy to make on-prem controller reachable from Entra ID correct?

Once enabled are local users still able to login alongside SAML users? Cloud users? 

If not, is there a fallback URL for local users if SAML is ever misconfigured/expired?

 

Thanks,
