OKTA integration with ACS 7.4 Enterprise

qgou — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 14:41:20 GMT

We implemented Alfresco (Enterprise, ACS 7.1.1) OKTA integration to deliver SSO using the saml module (https://docs.alfresco.com/saml-module/latest/). It has been working well since ACS 7.1.1 supports saml. Now we need to upgrade to ACS 7.4.1 (Enterprise), we are running into issues since ACS 7.4 does not support saml anymore. We are not using Identity Service. Nor Keycloak. How can we implement OKTA integrtion with ACS 7.4?

Hello,

Any luck on this ? We too are working to upgrade our Alfresco 7.2 instances to Alfresco 7.4.1.3 and are stuck due to this issue. We get the following exception:

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class [org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.CORSContextListener]
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'deprecatedModulesValidator' defined in URL [jar:file:/opt/alfresco/alfresco-7.4.1.3/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/alfresco-repository-21.20.jar!/alfresco/module-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: The following deprecated modules are installed: Alfresco SAML Repository AMP Module 1.2.3. Please remove these AMPs in order to continue.

Is there no toher way we can proceed without going through the route of installing the Alfresco Identity Service ?

Not sure if it is an issue.

Okta integration for ACS <7.2 was done via SAML addon for Alfresco Enterprise. If you use ACS>7.2 (once the addon was deprecated and not valid for future versions) you only can go (AFAIK) with Keycloak.

Regards.
