SSO​

Setup SSO

We recommend using a private navigation tab to test the new settings as soon as they are saved by refreshing the login page as a non authed user.

Google login​


Create Google OAuth keys

First, you need to create a Google OAuth Client:

  • Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials and create a project if you did not have one.
  • Click "Create Credentials", then click "OAuth Client ID" in the drop-down menu.
  • Enter the following:
    • Application Type: Web Application
    • Name: Windmill
    • Authorized Redirect URLs: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login_callback/google
  • Click Create.
  • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the "OAuth Client" modal.

Instance settings 'SSO OAuth' - 'SSO' - Toggle "Google" and set client id, org and client secret.

Microsoft​

Redirect URI: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login_callback/microsoft Login: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login

Create a new OAuth 2.0 Client in Microsoft portal.

In the "Authentication" tab, set the redirect URI to BASE_URL/user/login_callback/microsoft, the logout channel to BASE_URL/auth/logout where BASE_URL is what you configured as core BASE_URL. Also set "Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)", you can restrict the emails directly in Windmill using the "allowed_domains" setting.

Instance settings 'SSO OAuth' - - 'SSO' - Toggle "microsoft" and set client id, org and client secret.

Okta​

From your Admin page, setup Windmill using the service flow:

  1. Create a new app integration:

    a. For "sign-in method" select "OIDC - Open ID Connect".

    b. For "application type" select "Web Appliction".

  2. Select all of the following options for Grant type of "Client acting on behalf of a user":

    • Authorization Code
    • Refresh Token
    • Implicit (hybrid)
    • Allow ID Token with implicit grant type
    • Allow Access Token with implicit grant type

  3. For Refresh Token, select "Rotate token after every use".

  4. Under "LOGIN", set the following:

    • "Sign-in redirect URIs" https://<your windmill's public hostname as configured in values.yaml>/user/login_callback/okta/
    • "Sign-out redirect URIs" https://<your windmill's public hostname as configured in values.yaml>
    • "Login initiated by" App Only
    • "Initiate login URI" https://<your windmill's public hostname as configured in values.yaml>/user/login

Instance settings 'SSO OAuth' - - 'SSO' - Toggle "okta" and set client id, org and client secret.

GitHub​

Redirect URI: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login_callback/github Login: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login

Instance settings 'SSO OAuth' - - 'SSO' - Toggle "github" and set client id, org and client secret.

GitLab​

Redirect URI: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login_callback/gitlab Login: https://<YOUR_INSTANCE>/user/login

OAuth​

When one of the OAuth options is set, you will be able to create a specific resource containing a 'token' automatically generated by the third-party provider. To test it after setting an oauth client, go to the Resources menu and create a new one of the type of your oauth client (i.e. a 'github' resource if you set GitHub OAuth).

Setup OAuth

Slack​

Create a new Slack app at https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1

Pick "From an app manifest", then YAML.

Slack Create App

Your app manifest should look like this, replacing <YOUR INSTANCE URL> in 2 places:

display_information:
  name: Windmill
  description: windmill.dev slackbot and oauth integration
  background_color: '#3b82f6'
  long_description: The Windmill app allows to use command to run jobs inside Windmill as well as receiving message as the Windmill app. The Windmill app pairs a Slack workspace with a Windmill workspace. It must be installed from within the settings of a Windmill workspace.
features:
  app_home:
    home_tab_enabled: true
    messages_tab_enabled: true
    messages_tab_read_only_enabled: true
  bot_user:
    display_name: Windmill
    always_online: true
  slash_commands:
    - command: /windmill
      url: <YOUR INSTANCE URL>/api/oauth/slack_command
      description: Trigger the script set in your workspace settings for Slack
      usage_hint: the text that will be passed to the script
      should_escape: false
oauth_config:
  redirect_urls:
    - <YOUR INSTANCE URL>
  scopes:
    user:
      - chat:write
      - admin
      - channels:write
    bot:
      - chat:write
      - chat:write.public
      - channels:join
      - commands
settings:
  org_deploy_enabled: false
  socket_mode_enabled: false
  token_rotation_enabled: false

Slack Manifest

Then from your Instance settings, fill with Client ID and Client Secret.

Slack Fill

As for any OAuth Settings, make sure that there is a corresponding resource type with the same name with a "token" field in the superadmin workspace. That should be the case by default with Slack.

Slack Available

Under Enterprise Edition, you can add a completely custom OAuth without requiring a dev setup. The item accepts an extra optional field: connect_config or login_config of type OAuthConfig:

interface OAuthConfig {
    auth_url: string,
    token_url: string,
    userinfo_url?: string,
    scopes?: string[],
    extra_params?: Record<string, string>,
    extra_params_callback?: Record<string, string>,
    req_body_auth?: bool
}

connect_config is used for resources, and login_config for SSO.

Once you have validated your custom item, we would be grateful if you could open a PR. See Contributor's guide for more details.
