Shibboleth SSO for Thinkific
WooNinja SSO integrates Shibboleth as an identity provider for your Thinkific site. Supports SAML 2.0 with full federation compatibility for InCommon, eduGAIN, and higher education research networks. Automatic user provisioning, eduPerson attribute mapping, and flexible NameID formats included.
Protocol support
SAML 2.0
SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows with Shibboleth IdP. Configurable NameID format, signed and encrypted assertions, and per-connection metadata endpoints.
Federation ready
Compatible with InCommon, eduGAIN, and institutional federation metadata. Works with higher education and research identity federations worldwide.
Auto-provisioning
Create Thinkific learner accounts on first Shibboleth login. Handle eduPerson attributes and update profiles on every authenticated session.
eduPerson attribute mapping
Map eduPersonPrincipalName, eduPersonTargetedID, eduPersonEntitlement, and OID/MACE-Dir attributes to Thinkific user fields and custom profiles.
Flexible NameID
Supports persistent, transient, email, and unspecified NameID formats. Falls back to email if NameID is absent — essential for certain Shibboleth deployments.
Multi-tenant
Configure separate Shibboleth IdP connections for different Thinkific sites, business units, or research institutions from one WooNinja SSO installation.
