I'm not sure on the capabilities of Mastodon. But companies will never go for this if Mastodon doesn't support saml or active directory (or other Auth systems). It needs to integrate with their enterprise tools.

I think you are confusing server-server protocol and client-server protocol.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure how that applies here.

I am talking about enterprises being able to leverage their current infrastructure to manage their users in Mastodon from a central location, Like AD. Rather than have to manage local accounts.

I am not talking about activitypub in anyway.

I'm talking about that too. Mastodon should work just fine with SSO.

There are several mastodon servers that have different feature sets. What you're saying is like "email must support AD". Well some email server might do that and another wouldn't.
