Hello,

could you kindly confirm if TortoiseSVN does support one of below mentioned technologies/protocols to be able to implement (Ping)SSO on our side?
=> SAML/WSFed or Oauth/Open ID

Thanks Alexander

Based on my research I do not see any kind of support for those mentioned above sso protocols right out of the box, but it would be great if you could confirm.

On top of that I would like to extend my question, currently we are using an LDAP authentication which is working fine.
Client machines are in the domain and I would like to get rid of the manual TSVN user and password input from the user (on password change etc).
Is it possible to achieve that? If yes what do I need to double check on the server side, to have an automatic logon ? (its a linux debian, apache subversion)

On my research I found a post from 2010 where it seemed SSO was supported by a module, but it did not work out: https://groups.google.com/g/tortoisesvn/c/9J-Jis-EDi4/m/aqJvOueZI6MJ
And one from 2016  where Stefan mentions with AD authentication enabled it should automatically take the windows credentials, the user password dialog should not show up: https://groups.google.com/g/tortoisesvn/c/L0AAaWd2ODc/m/60F9Kr8EHgAJ

Could anyone kindly give some insights, I guess it is purely a server configuration to enable this?

as far as I know, it depends on how you set up the server.
Last time I tried this (years ago), mod_auth_sspi was required.
And to avoid having to enter the username/pw, you had to set
AuthType SSPI
instead of
AuthType Basic
in the apache config file.

Sorry, can't be of more help.

Thank you very much Stefan, I will investigate on that. Yes we are currently using  AuthType Basic

Could you kindly confirm the other mentioned SSO protocols are (I assume) currently not supported by TortoiseSVN, please?  E.g. SAML/WSFed or Oauth/Open ID

Thanks Alexander

Stefan could kindly comment/confirm on my question about the SSO protocols, this will help me with my internal app certification.  Support of  SAML/WSFed or Oauth/Open ID

Thank you Alexander
