Authentik SAML SSO Setup - Doesn't match online instructions

  • Used Zammad version: 6.3.0
  • Used Zammad installation type: (source, package, docker-compose, …) docker compose
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
  • Browser + version: Firefox (latest)

Expected behavior:

  • Attempting to setup SAML for SSO Auth with Authentik

Actual behavior:

  • I get an error on Save in Zammad SAML setup “The verification of the TLS connection failed. Please check the IDP certificate.”

I have gone through an article from this site, as well as the one on the official authentik site (i’m unable to add links to my post, so I can’t link you to the articles).

A coupple of things now differ however.

  1. The article says to leave the “Name Identifier Format” field empty, but it is now a required field.
  2. Not sure why the certificate would fail. I generated it in Authentik for this purpose.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Go through the article linked above.
  • Follow the steps,
  • You’ll notice you can’t leave the field “Name Identifier Format” empty anymore.
  • Fill it with the same text as placeholder to start, and then try to submit.

Any help is much appreciated.
