SSO Architecture Overview
Supported Protocols
ColaFlow supports industry-standard SSO protocols:
- OIDC (OpenID Connect): For Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta
- OAuth 2.0: Authorization delegation
- SAML 2.0: Enterprise IdP integration
Supported Identity Providers
- Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) - OIDC
- Google Workspace - OIDC
- Okta - OIDC
- Generic SAML 2.0 - Any SAML-compliant IdP
SSO + Local Auth Coexistence
graph LR
A[User] --> B{Login Method}
B -->|Local Auth| C[Email + Password]
B -->|SSO| D[Select IdP]

User Auto-Provisioning
User auto-provisioning is handled in the HandleSsoCallbackCommandHandler above. Key features:
- First-time login: Automatically creates user account if
AutoProvisionUsers = true - Claims mapping: Maps IdP claims to User entity properties
- Profile sync: Updates user profile on subsequent logins
- Domain restrictions: Only allows specific email domains if configured
- Audit logging: Records all SSO events
Claims Mapping
| IdP Claim | ColaFlow User Property |
|---|---|
sub or NameIdentifier |
ExternalUserId |
email |
Email |
name |
FullName |
picture |
AvatarUrl |
given_name |
(parsed into FullName) |
family_name |
(parsed into FullName) |

Security Considerations
1. SAML Response Signature Verification
SAML responses MUST be signed by the IdP to prevent tampering:
// Configured in SAML options
options.SPOptions.WantAssertionsSigned = true;
idp.WantAuthnRequestsSigned = true;
// Certificate validation
idp.SigningKeys.AddConfiguredKey(idpCertificate);
2. OAuth State Parameter (CSRF Protection)
State parameter prevents CSRF attacks:
// Generate secure random state
var state = Convert.ToBase64String(RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes(32));
// Store in session
httpContext.Session.SetString("SsoState", state);
// Validate on callback
var receivedState = httpContext.Request.Query["state"];
var storedState = httpContext.Session.GetString("SsoState");
if (receivedState != storedState)
throw new SecurityException("Invalid state parameter");
3. ID Token Validation
OIDC ID tokens must be validated:
options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
{
ValidateIssuer = true,
ValidIssuer = ssoConfig.Authority,
ValidateAudience = true,
ValidAudience = ssoConfig.ClientId,
ValidateLifetime = true,
ClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
// Signing keys fetched from metadata endpoint
};
4. Replay Attack Prevention
// OIDC: nonce parameter
options.ProtocolValidator.RequireNonce = true;
// SAML: InResponseTo validation
options.SPOptions.ReturnUrl = new Uri("https://colaflow.com/callback");
5. Client Secret Encryption
Encrypt client secrets before storing in database:
public sealed class SecretEncryptionService
{
private readonly IDataProtectionProvider _dataProtection;
public string Encrypt(string plainText)
{
var protector = _dataProtection.CreateProtector("SsoClientSecrets");
return protector.Protect(plainText);
}
public string Decrypt(string cipherText)
{
var protector = _dataProtection.CreateProtector("SsoClientSecrets");
return protector.Unprotect(cipherText);
}
}

Summary
This SSO integration architecture provides:
✅ Industry-Standard Protocols: OIDC and SAML 2.0 support ✅ Multiple IdPs: Azure AD, Google, Okta, Generic SAML ✅ Auto-Provisioning: Automatically create users on first SSO login ✅ Domain Restrictions: Limit SSO to specific email domains ✅ Security First: State parameters, signature validation, token validation ✅ Flexible Configuration: Per-tenant SSO settings ✅ Seamless UX: Beautiful login UI with SSO buttons ✅ Complete Testing: Integration and unit tests for all flows
Next Steps:
- Implement MCP Authentication (see
mcp-authentication-architecture.md) - Update JWT generation to include SSO claims
- Execute database migration
