What is Kimai

Kimai is a free & open source timetracker. It tracks work time and prints out a summary of your activities on demand. Yearly, monthly, daily, by customer, by project … Its simplicity is its strength. Due to Kimai's browser based interface it runs cross-platform, even on your mobile device.

Preparation

The following placeholders will be used:

• kimai.company is the FQDN of the Kimai Install
• authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik Install
• admin.group is the authentik group to be made Admin in Kimai

Create an application in authentik and use the slug for later as <application-slug>.

Create a SAML provider with the following parameters:

• ACS URL: https://kimai.company/auth/saml/acs
• Audience: https://kimai.company/auth/saml
• Issuer: https://authentik.company
• Binding: Post

Under Advanced protocol settings, set a certificate for Signing Certificate.

Kimai Configuration

Paste the following block in your local.yaml file, after replacing the placeholder values from above. The file is usually located in /opt/kimai/config/packages/local.yaml.

To get the value for x509cert, go to System > Certificates, and download the public Signing Certificate. To avoid further problems, concat it into "string format" using e.g.: https://www.samltool.com/format_x509cert.php
