Kimai SAML Configuration for Azure

Kimai Time-Tracking app is an open-source time-tracking app that can be hosted on your own to track time for your projects. For single sign-on integration via SAML, it does provide some documentation, however, the example is on Google. Theoretically, it is able to work on Azure, however, it is all up to exploration.

By following the configuration in the documentation, it is likely that this error may be encountered:

Failed creating or hydrating user "_g7L2ihHvC7T4GWpFav3F5pgh9Ipox9CC1QRtBMsing or hydrating user \"xxxxxx\": Missing user attribute: Email

This is because SAML claims for Azure is different from Google.

The list of available attributes is as below. So for eg, instead of $Email in the configuration, you might need to use $http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name

SAML FieldField Name
http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/tenantid
http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/objectidentifier Object ID in Azure
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name UPN
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/surname Last Name
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname First Name
http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/displayname Display Name
http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/identityprovider
