Supported SSO Features:
- SP Initiated SSO Login: Users can access their Redmine account via a URL or bookmark. They will automatically be redirected to the miniOrange portal for login. Once they've signed on, they'll be automatically redirected and logged into Redmine.
- IdP Initiated SSO Login: Users need to login to the miniOrange first, and then click on the Redmine icon on the applications dashboard to access Redmine.(If you have set up any more Identity Sources, you will log in to that platform).
- JIT Provisioning: Enables the automatic creation of user accounts in Redmine when a person logs in for the first time via Desktop SSO, IDP, or Active Directory (AD) authentication.
- Single Logout: With this feature, you will be automatically logged out of all the applications that are connected with Identity provider (IdP) when you log out from Redmine org or any other app.
- Mandate users to Login using SSO: Single Sign-on can make it mandatory for all users to log in using SSO. This will prevent any person from login using any other source and bypassing the login system. No person will be able to have direct login making it a streamline and secure process.
Connect with External Source of Users
miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more.

Note: Need to change these settings require you to restart P6 server.
- Select Allow Alternate Login Attribute when using Oracle Single Sign-On, and you want to use an SSO login attribute other than the P6 user name. For example, you will enter your email address when authenticating Oracle Single Sign-On, but your P6 user name will map to the LDAP's UID field.
- In User Name Header Key field, enter the name of the HTTP Header you specified in the policy server.
The value you specify must match the property you created under the policy domain/realm, where the Web server for P6 resides.
For Oracle Single Sign-On, the value should be Proxy-Remote-User. The Proxy-Remote-User should match the LDAP server attribute that maps to the P6 EPPM database USER_NAME field. See Provisioning LDAP User Information for the First Time for details.
For Oracle Access Manager, the value should be OAM_REMOTE_USER, which is the default value.
- In the Context Path Override field, enter the path used to pass web requests from the Single Sign-On Web server to the P6 server. The default listed is the value for P6 (/p6).
Note: If you enable the Allow Alternate Login Attribute setting, you must configure the Header Key and LDAP Search Attribute settings. You must also configure the LDAP settings for the appropriate database instance to establish a connection to the LDAP server. See Provisioning LDAP User Information for the First Time for details.
- In Header Key field, enter the HTTP Header Key which contains the global user ID. The default value is Osso-User-Guid.
- In LDAP Search Attribute field, enter the LDAP attribute searched by the Header Key to authenticate users. The default value is orclguid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is SAML SSO?
SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process in which a user is provided access to multiple applications and/or websites by using only a single set of login credentials (such as username and password). This prevents the need for the user to login separately into the different applications.
