Integrate with Zabbix Zabbix community

What is Zabbix

Zabbix is the ultimate enterprise-level software designed for real-time monitoring of millions of metrics collected from tens of thousands of servers, virtual machines and network devices.

Zabbix is Open Source and comes at no cost.

-- https://www.zabbix.com/features

Preparation

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

  • zabbix.company is the FQDN of the Zabbix installation.
  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik installation.

:::info This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application. :::

authentik configuration

To support the integration of Zabbix with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider in authentik

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application to open the application wizard.
  • Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings. Take note of the slug as it will be required later.
  • Choose a Provider type: select SAML Provider as the provider type.
  • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
    • Set the ACS URL to https://zabbix.company/index_sso.php?acs.
    • Set the Issuer to zabbix.
    • Set the Service Provider Binding to Post.
    • Set the Single Logout Service to https://zabbix.company/index_sso.php?sls.
    • Set the SLS Binding to Redirect.
    • Set the Logout Method to Front-channel (Iframe).
    • Under Advanced protocol settings, select an available Signing certificate.
  • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.
  1. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Zabbix configuration

Navigate to https://zabbix.company/zabbix/zabbix.php?action=authentication.edit and select SAML settings to configure SAML.

Check the box to enable SAML authentication.

Set the Field IdP entity ID to zabbix.

Set the Field SSO service URL to https://authentik.company/application/saml/zabbix/sso/binding/redirect/.

Set the Field Username attribute to http://schemas.goauthentik.io/2021/02/saml/username

Set the Field SP entity ID to https://authentik.company/application/saml/zabbix/sso/binding/redirect/

Set the Field SP name ID format to urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient

Check the box for Case sensitive login.

For the SAML Service Provider Certificate and SAML Service Provider Private Key, you can either use custom certificates, or use the self-signed pair generated by authentik.

Copy the cert and key to /usr/share/zabbix/conf/certs/, the system looks for sp.key and sp.crt by default.

The certificate path can be configured in the Zabbix frontend configuration file (zabbix.conf.php)

$SSO['SP_KEY'] = '<path to the SP private key file>';
$SSO['SP_CERT'] = '<path to the SP cert file>';

For additional security you can enable the Verification Certificate by checking the Sign > AuthN requests in the Zabbix configuration and adding the IDP Certificate to the cert path above or defining it in your Zabbix frontend configuration file.

$SSO['IDP_CERT'] = '<path to the IDP cert file>';
