Preparation​

The following placeholders will be used:

  • pdns-admin.company is the FQDN of the PowerDNS-Admin install.
  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik install.

Create a SAML provider with the following parameters:

  • ACS URL: https://pdns-admin.company/saml/authorized
  • Issuer: https://authentik.company
  • Service Provider Binding: Post
  • Audience: pdns-admin
  • Signing Keypair: Select any certificate you have.
  • Property mappings: Select all Managed mappings.

You can of course use a custom signing certificate, and adjust durations.

SAML_LOGOUT_URL=https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application-slug>/slo/binding/redirect/
SAML_SP_ENTITY_ID=pdns-admin
SAML_SP_CONTACT_NAME=me
SAML_SP_CONTACT_MAIL=me
SAML_NAMEID_FORMAT=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent
SAML_ATTRIBUTE_USERNAME=http://schemas.goauthentik.io/2021/02/saml/username
SAML_ATTRIBUTE_NAME=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name
