      Has anyone looked into authentication ownCloud using Azure AD? Is this something that ownCloud themselves is looking into? That would be an awesome addition to ownCloud, IMHO. Especially in the SMB space. As companies start to move to lots of Office 365 and Windows 10 and now that Linux Mint will authenticate to Azure AD, it would be awesome to have ownCloud able to authenticate there rather than only to LDAP or traditional on premises AD.

          Can Azure AD do federation? I think there is a saml addon available for ownCloud.

            I believe it can base on what I have read

              have you seen a guide anywhere? I'm still new to Azure AD.

                No guides. I'm still going over your tutorials and reading as much as I can about...basically everything. I have a little bit of insight but that's about it. Sorry! It would be great for me to be able to help you for once :D

                  Azure AD does support SAML 2.0. Not sure if this helps or not.

                    Add it as a custom application - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ad/2015/06/17/bring-your-own-app-with-azure-ad-self-service-saml-configuration-now-in-preview/

                      This is assuming that ownCloud supports SAML.

                          Ah... there goes that idea. Can ownCloud use local system authentication? Then you may be able to set it up that way.

                            That's what is uses by default. I've never seen any application other than SW that lacks local authentication as an option.

                              Really? I thought it had a database table for users.

                                If it does, it's new. Which would be really odd as they've been moving even farther from that rather than towards. It traditionally was AD only and turned off authentication if you didn't have AD. Now it uses the website for authentication.

                                  @scottalanmiller I'm not following. I've had it running for at least 3 major releases and have never had it attached to AD nor have I created users on the local system. I have always needed a username and password to get into the application.

                                    Those logins are tied to the SW community. They are not purely local. that was removed 1-2 years ago.

                                      So if you did not create the users... where did you think that they were coming from ;)

                                        Are we talking about the same application? For ownCloud, in the past I had to remote into the database to change the admin password that I had forgotten. Hence why I said that the username and password were stored in the ownCloud database.

                                        When I said local authentication I meant Linux users being authenticated to use the ownCloud application. Then you could use SAML on the local Linux system to authenticate against Azure AD. Probably too convoluted and sensitive to be used in production though.
