Visitor authentication via SAML/SSO

[Kaustubh804975]

What's your feature/idea?

Hi Team,

I would like to share a Idea or it can be a kind of enhancement to a feature which Gitbook has, which is Publish with visitor authentication
Here we are able to see that is option given to Choose the backend used to authenticate visitors and by default its Custom.
We also have SSO & SAML for authentication.

My request would be to enhance/ improve Choose the backend used to authenticate visitors feature, and as gitbook has SAML authentication, It would be great if we are able to opt for SAML from Choose the backend used to authenticate visitors and share publish the document with visitors authentication and user who already has SAML access will click on the shared URL and will be authenticate via SAML.

What's your desired outcome?

If would be really helpful if we have to share any documents which can be customized and shared with whole Organization without using JWT or hosting a server for this.

What's the impact of this for you?

• Critical
• High
• Medium
• Low

Anything else?

Hey @Kaustubh804975! Thanks for the request - we definitely want to improve this in the future, by adding some common providers like the one(s) you mentioned. I don't have a timeline on this at the moment, but just wanted to let you know it's on our radar!
