OIDC/SSO moves to PLANKA Pro with the next release
Hi everyone,
first of all — we're back. Things went quiet here over the summer, and we
appreciate your patience during the break. We're picking development back up,
and the next release comes with a few changes worth explaining.
The main one: with the next release, we're removing OIDC/SSO from the Community
version — from then on it'll only be part of PLANKA Pro.
Why: SSO was always meant to be a Pro/enterprise feature on our side. The fact
that it ended up in Community never fit that model, and we're straightening
that out now.
On top of that, honestly: SSO is by far the feature that costs us the most
support — over 100 setup requests a month, docs or no docs. And as our
[License Guide] already says, direct support is for Pro/Enterprise anyway. So
that's simply where SSO belongs, where we can maintain it properly.
We're also using this release to move account security in the other direction.
Several features that used to be Pro are now part of Community:
- TOTP-based two-factor authentication
- Auto-logout after inactivity
- Trusted devices (skip 2FA for a set period)
Our line is simple — account security stays free and open, enterprise identity
management (SSO) is Pro.
What changes
- Starting with version 2.2.0, PLANKA Community no longer includes OIDC/SSO.
- Login via username/email and password stays in Community.
- TOTP 2FA, auto-logout, and trusted devices are now available in Community.
- Older releases stay available and keep working — we don't disable anything
remotely. But updating to 2.2.0 removes OIDC/SSO.
- If you need SSO, you can move to PLANKA Pro, where it's included and
supported: https://planka.app/pro
- Migrating from Community to Pro is possible; migration is available in the
customer panel after purchase.
⚠️ Important before you update
After updating to 2.2.0, all SSO-based users are deactivated, since they no
longer have a password login. To restore access, an admin can set a password
for each affected user and reactivate them.
If your admin account itself is SSO-based, you'll be locked out — in that
case, create a new admin user first (via script or environment variables) as
described here:
https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/configuration/admin-user
If SSO is critical for your team, plan this migration before you update.
We know this affects some of you, and we're not doing it lightly. Getting the
tiering right now is what keeps PLANKA sustainable long-term. Nothing changes
