[Suggestion] Default SAML authentication

[tsluszniak]

Hi,
it would be nice to have the SAML as one of the default authentication methods. In our case, it's the only one we are using.

You do understand, that there are many people besides you, who are not in slightest interested in SAML.. ?

[tsluszniak]

So what? It's just a suggestion. Maybe you're not interested..?

Don't take it personally, but this is just very selfish suggestion... Just because You need it, lets make it default? Come on. You can do those 3 clicks to configure it. Its not something you are doing many times...

Maybe, but there are 3 authentication methods to be configured: Internal (HTTP settings), LDAP, and SAML. Why only Internal and LDAP should be available to be default options? This suggestion is to make it more consistent.

Plus one for this suggestion.

To be clear, neither I nor the OP are suggesting it should be THE default login, just that there is an option to set it as the default logon

[tsluszniak]

Any chance to add SAML as one of the Default authentication methods?

per se i'm not against on "why not ground" but I also respect that there are really higher priorities areas where Zabbix can be improved ( everybody has its own ) https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-6934. And finally in my opinion there is a better place for such requests even it can be funded by your company for example. Still I think this could be pretty small in dev hours, on the other side there are thousands small things
