Graphistry SSO Configuration Guide#

Overview#

Graphistry Enterprise Server supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through OIDC (OpenID Connect) providers such as Okta, Entra, Auth0 and others. Options for SSO auth include site-wide for all site users or per organization, depending on your multi-tenancy needs.

This guide walks you through configuring SSO in Graphistry.#

Prerequisites#

Before setting up SSO:

Deploy Graphistry Enterprise Server (self-hosted or cloud)
Ensure TLS is configured properly (especially when using external proxies or load balancers)

Configuration Paths#

SSO setup can be done site-wide or at the org-level

1. Site-wide SSO#

Note: Graphistry Hub users are not able to configure Site-wide SSO, see the Organization-specific config below.

Click the admin user drop-down menu and select Manage site-wide SSO

(Recommended) Disable traditional account creation
(Recommended) Set up outgoing email (for invites and notifications)

2. Organization-specific SSO#

Note: Graphistry Hub users are required to have paid Organization account. Sign up for an Organization account on graphistry hub.

After login to your graphistry account, click the “Manage organization” button.
Click the “+” button to add a new organization.
Fill the information for the organization and click the create button, the “Organization ID” is unique.
Click the orange button, which is “configure SSO” button.
Click the “+” button to add new SSO providers.
Fill the IDP Name, Host URL, Client ID and select the SSO provider.
Example for Okta, “Client ID” and “Host URL” can found in “Client ID”, and “Okta domain” respectively.
The SSO Provider for the organization was shown. Remember to setup the Sign-in redirect URIs in picture, fill it with http://{hostname}/o/{organization_id}/sso/oidc/{idp_name}/login/callback.

Configure the identity provider (OIDC details)#

Refer to your IdP’s documentation for creating OIDC apps and obtaining credentials.
Choosing the correct SSO IdP template
Create a name for IdP connection
Set the IdP Hostname and Client ID (Note: some providers may require additional fields)

OKTA SETUP#

OKTA OIDC SETUP#

After logging in your OKTA account, if it shows this page, click admin button.
Go to the application page and click “Create App Integration” to create a new application.
Select “OIDC - OpenID Connect” in the Sign-in method section and “Single-Page Application” at the Application Type section.
Change the application name as you like and you can upload a logo for this application.
Change the sign-in redirect url using the following format. Change the field in brackets to relevant fields. For example, this is an example of a URL used in development, http://localhost:8000/o/{organization_id}/sso/oidc/{idp_name}/login/callback If you are using Site-wide SSO, the format would be: http://localhost:8000/g/sso/oidc/{idp_name}/login/callback
Choose “Skip group assignment for now” and save the changes. We will assign the user/group later.
Record the field named “Client ID”, and “Okta domain”. Using these fields allows you to register an Organization SSO ID Provider in Graphistry.
Assign persons to application.
Click “Assign” on the line of the person you want to assign the application.
Click “Assign” on the line of the group you want to assign the application. If assigned by group, all people in the group can login to this application.

Fill in the relevant fields. If the Activation is set to “Activate later”, users will receive an email to set their password and activate the account.
If the Activation is set to “Activate now”, it will show some options for setting the password. If the “I will set password” option is ticked, you can enter a temporary password and specify if the user changes their password after initial login.

OKTA GROUP SETUP#

Create a new Group.
Give a name to the group. Optionally, you can add a description.
Click the group name you created to manage the group.

For example, this is an example of a URL used in development, http://localhost:8000/o/admin/sso/oidc/test_admin/login/callback/ If you are using Site-wide SSO, the format would be: http://localhost:8000/g/sso/oidc/Site_wide_SSO_Provider/login/callback/
