SonarQube SAML plugin gives the ability to enable SAML Single Sign On for the SonarQube. Here we will go through a guide to configure SSO between SonarQube and Bitium. By the end of this guide, Bitium users should be able to log in and register to the SonarQube Server.
Step 1. Setup Bitium as Identity Provider
Follow these steps to configure Bitium as an Identity Provider using SAML 2.0 Single Sign On protocol.
- Login as an administrator in Bitium
- Once you have logged into your Bitium Admin portal, click on the Manage "your organization"
- Click on Manage Apps
- In the top right corner, click on Add More Apps. You'll see a search box, so search for ?custom_app? and add the app to your Bitium account.
- Click Single Sign-On tab and select SAML Authentication.
- Copy over into the following information for configuring the add-on:
1) Entity ID
2) Login URL
3) Logout URL
4) X.509 Certificate
5) Metadata URL
Paste information from SP Info tab in the plugin into Bitium
Click Save in the application provider
Click Save Changes in Bitium

Step 2: Configure SonarQube as Service Provider.
Test Configuration
- Once you have filled all the IdP details, go to Administration >>Configuration >>miniOrange SAML Support and then click on the Test Configuration tab.
- It will show you the IdP login page. Enter your IdP credentials and log in.
- If all the configurations are correct, it will show you the user details received from the IdP.
- If the test fails, check if you have missed out any steps or try to debug through SonarQube Logs.
- To be able to troubleshoot through logs, first you'll have to set a higher log level in your SonarQube application.
- To do so, go to the SonarQube Dashboard >>Administration >>System.
- Under the system settings, you'll find an option to change the log's level. Select DEBUG and save it. Now try to configure the plugin.
- If you face any problem during configuration, go to %SONARQUBE_HOME% / logs directory.
- Find and open the web.log file. Go through the logs recorded.
- You'll find the stacktrace of performed actions, along with date and time information.
- To know more about the SonarQube Logs click here.
- Login Attribute is a unique name assigned to the user to identify them uniquely within the SonarQube system. It's a required attribute.
- Name Attribute is the full name of the user, to be mapped from the IdP to the SonarQube. It's a required attribute.
- Email Attribute is an optional attribute and represents an email address of the user, to be mapped from the IdP to the SonarQube.
- Group Attribute mapping requires the group names, in the application, to be same as the group names in the Identity Provider. Otherwise, the default SonarQube Group is assigned to the user.
- Eg. To map group value Everyone from SAML response we have to paste groupName in Group Attribute field [Refer with above image].
