How to access the Taiga API with an SSO-based account?

Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,

I’m currently using Taiga as part of an organization that authenticates users through a SSO system (I don’t log in with a regular username/password, but get redirected to an identity provider when logging in).

I’m trying to use the Taiga API and followed the documentation using the /api/v1/auth endpoint with "type": "normal", my username, and a password, but I get the following error:

401 Unauthorized
{
  "detail": "No active account found with the given credentials",
  "code": "invalid_credentials"
}

I assume this is because my account was created via SSO and therefore does not have credentials usable through the API. However, I couldn’t find any alternative method in the docs.

Is there any supported way to authenticate with the API using an SSO-based account, or do you know an alternative to use the API?

Thanks in advance for your help!
