PhotoPrism Releases Update with Single Sign-On Feature

PhotoProsm has announced its latest update, introducing several new features and improvements that enhance its user experience and functionality. This update is a step forward in making photo management and sharing both secure and convenient for users who prefer to host their services on private servers, at home, or in the cloud.

The highlight of this update is the integration of single sign-on (SSO) via OpenID Connect (OIDC), a highly requested feature that simplifies the login process for users by allowing them to access PhotoPrism with a single set of credentials across multiple platforms.

Key Updates in the Latest Release:

  • Single Sign-On Support: Users can now enjoy the convenience of SSO via OpenID Connect (OIDC), streamlining the authentication process.
  • Index Improvements: The .ppignore file handling has been refined, with slashes and null bytes now being trimmed from patterns, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient indexing process.
  • Enhanced Video Support: The update introduces support for MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC) and adds a filter to transcode 10bit videos with Intel QSV, enhancing the app’s video handling capabilities.
  • Security and Maintenance: The update also includes the latest stable release of Go (v1.22.5), improving the overall security and stability of the application.
  • Localization Updates: French and Japanese translations have been updated, making the app more accessible to a wider audience.

The update also brings a new command-line interface (CLI) option, photoprism passwd --rm, allowing for the removal of local passwords.
