Jellyfin SSO Plugin
This plugin allows users to sign in through an SSO provider (such as Google, Facebook, or your own provider). This enables one-click signin.

Current State:
This is 100% alpha software! PRs are welcome to improve the code.
There is NO admin configuration! You must use the API to configure the program!
Supported Protocols
Security
This is my first time writing C# so please take all of the code written here with a grain of salt. This program should be reasonably secure since it validates all information passed from the client with either a certificate or a secret internal state.
Installing
Add the package repo https://repo.saggis.com/jellyfin/manifest.json to your Jellyfin configuration. Then, install the package!
Building
This is built with .NET 6.0. Build with dotnet publish .
for the debug release in the SSO-Auth
directory. Copy over the IdentityModel.OidcClient.dll
and the SSO-Auth.dll
files in the /bin/Debug/net6.0/publish
directory to a new folder in your Jellyfin configuration: config/plugins/sso
.
Releasing
This plugin uses JPRM to build the plugin. Refer to the documentation there to install JPRM.
Build the zipped plugin with jprm --verbosity=debug plugin build .
.
Examples
SAML
Example for adding a SAML configuration with the API using curl:
curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"samlEndpoint": "https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/test/protocol/saml", "samlClientId": "jellyfin-saml", "samlCertificate": "Very long base64 encoded string here", "enabled": true, "enableAllFolders": true, "enabledFolders": ["folder1", "folder2"]}' "https://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/SAML/Add?api_key=API_KEY_HERE"
Make sure that the JSON is the same as the configuration you would like.
The SAML provider must have the following configuration (I am using Keycloak, and I cannot speak for whatever you will see):
- Sign Documents on
- Sign Assertions off
- Client Signature Required off
- Redirect URI: https://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/OID/p/clientid
- Base URL: https://myjellyfin.example.com
- Master SAML processing URL: https://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/saml/p/clientid
Make sure that clientid
is replaced with the actual client ID!
OpenID
Example for adding an OpenID configuration with the API using curl
curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"oidEndpoint": "https://keycloak.example.com/auth/reapls/test", "oidClientId": "jellyfin-oid", "oidSecret": "short secret here", "enabled": true, "enableAllFolders": true, "enabledFolders": ["folder3", "folder4"]}' "https://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/OID/Add?api_key=API_KEY_HERE"
The OpenID provider must have the following configuration (again, I am using Keycloak)
- Access Type: Confidential
- Standard Flow Enabled
- Redirect URI: https://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/OID/r/clientid
- Base URL: https://myjellyfin.example.com
Make sure that clientid
is replaced with the actual client ID!
API Endpoints
The API is all done from a base URL of /sso/
SAML
Flow
- POST
SAML/p/clientid
: This is the SAML POST endpoint. It accepts a form response from the SAML provider and returns HTML and JavaScript for the client to login. - GET
SAML/p/clientid
: This is the SAML initiator: it will begin the authorization flow for SAML with a given client ID. - POST
SAML/Auth
: This is the SAML client-side API: the HTML and JavaScript client will call this endpoint to receive Jellyfin credentials. Post format is in JSON with the following keys:deviceId
: string. Device ID.deviceName
: string. Device name.appName
: string. App name.appVersion
: string. App version.data
: string. The signed SAML XML request. Used to verify a request.provider
: string. The current SAML client ID.
Configuration
These all require authorization. Append an API key to the end of the request: curl "http://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/SAML/Get?api_key=9c6e5fae4ae145669e6b7a3942f813b7"
- POST
SAML/Add
: This adds a configuration for SAML. It accepts JSON with the following keys and format:samlEndpoint
: string. The SAML endpoint.samlClientId
: string. The SAML client ID.samlCertificate
: string. The base64 encoded SAML certificate.enabled
: boolean. Determines if the provider is enabled or not.enableAllFolders
: boolean. Determines if the client logging in is allowed access to all folders.enabledFolders
: array of strings. IfenableAllFolders
is set to false, then this will be used to determine what folders the users who log in through this provider are allowed to use.
- GET
SAML/Del/clientId
: This removes a configuration for SAML for a given client ID. - GET
SAML/Get
: Lists the configurations currently available.
OpenID
Flow
- GET
OID/r/clientId
: This is the OpenID callback path. This will return HTML and JavaScript for the client to login. - GET
OID/p/clientId
: This is the OpenID initiator: it will begin the authorization flow for OpenID with a given client ID. - POST
OID/Auth
: This is the OpenID client-side API: the HTML and JavaScript client will call this endpoint to receive Jellyfin credentials. Post format is in JSON with the following keys:deviceId
: string. Device ID.deviceName
: string. Device name.appName
: string. App name.appVersion
: string. App version.data
: string. The OpenID state. Used to verify a request.provider
: string. The current OpenID client ID.
Configuration
These all require authorization. Append an API key to the end of the request: curl "http://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/OID/Get?api_key=9c6e5fae4ae145669e6b7a3942f813b7"
- POST
OID/Add
: This adds a configuration for OpenID. It accepts JSON with the following keys and format:oidEndpoint
: string. The OpenID endpoint. Must have a.well-known
path available.oidClientId
: string. The OpenID client ID.oidSecret
: string. The OpenID secret.enabled
: boolean. Determines if the provider is enabled or not.enableAllFolders
: boolean. Determines if the client logging in is allowed access to all folders.enabledFolders
: array of strings. IfenableAllFolders
is set to false, then this will be used to determine what folders the users who log in through this provider are allowed to use.
- GET
OID/Del/clientId
: This removes a configuration for OpenID for a given client ID. - GET
OID/Get
: Lists the configurations currently available. - GET
OID/States
: Lists currently active OpenID flows in progress.
Limitations
There is no GUI to sign in. You have to make it yourself! The buttons should redirect to something like this: https://myjellyfin.example.com/sso/SAML/p/clientid replacing clientid
with the provider client ID and SAML
with the auth scheme (either SAML
or OID
).
Furthermore, there is no functional admin page (yet). PRs for this are welcome. In the meantime, you have to interact with the API to add or remove configurations.
There is also no logout callback. Logging out of Jellyfin will log you out of Jellyfin only, instead of the SSO provider as well.
This only supports Jellyfin on it's own domain (for now). This is because I'm using string concatenation for generating some URLs. A PR is welcome to patch this.
This only works on the web UI. The user must open the Jellyfin web UI BEFORE using the SSO program to populate some values in the localStorage.
Credits and Thanks
Much thanks to the Jellyfin LDAP plugin for offering a base for me to start on my plugin.
I use the AspNet SAML library for the SAML side of things (patched to work with Base64 on non-Windows machines).
I use the IdentityModel OIDC Client library for the OpenID side of things.
Thanks to these projects, without which I would have been pulling my hair out implementing these protocols from scratch.
