Configure ADFS as SAML or OAuth IDP for SSO

---

miniOrange Identity Broker service solution enables cross protocol authentication. You can configure ADFS as an IDP for Single Sign-On (SSO) into your applications/websites. Here, ADFS will act as an Identity Provider (IDP) and miniOrange will act as a broker.

We offer a pre-built solution for integrating with ADFS, making it easier and quick to implement. Our team can also help you set up ADFS as SAML or OIDC IDP to login into your applications.

Follow the Step-by-Step Guide given below for ADFS Single Sign-On (SSO)

1. Configure ADFS as SP in ADFS

Mentioned below are steps to configure ADFS as IDP via SAML and OAuth configuration. Follow the steps accordingly based on your requirement (SAML or OAuth).

• You have successfully configured ADFS as SAML IDP (Identity Provider) for achieving ADFS Single Sign-On (SSO) Login by exchanging the metadata between ADFS and miniOrange by creating a Relying party trust with miniOrange.

Follow the steps to configure ADFS as IdP by OAuth configuration.

• Go to miniOrange Admin Console.
• From the left navigation bar select Identity Provider. Select Oauth





• Enter the following values.

IdP Name	Custom Provider
IdP Display Name	Choose appropriate Name
OAuth Authorize Endpoint	https://{Domain URL}/adfs/oauth2/authorize
OAuth Access Token Endpoint	https://{Domain URL}/adfs/oauth2/token
OAuth Get User Info Endpoint (optional)	https://{Domain URL}/adfs/oauth2/userinfo
Client ID	From step 2
Client secret	From step 2
Scope	auto

2. Configure ADFS as IDP in miniOrange

• SAML
• OAuth

• Go to miniOrange Admin Console.
• From the left navigation bar select Identity Provider
• Click on Add Identity Provider button.

• Click on Import IDP metadata.



• Choose appropriate IDP name. Select IDP Metadata as File. Then browse for the file you downloaded in the previous step.
• Click on Import.



• As shown in the below screen the IDP Entity ID, SAML SSO Login URL, Single Logout URL and x.509 Certificate will be filled from the Metadata file we just imported.

Domain Mapping	Can be used to redirect specific domain user to specific IDP
Show IdP to Users	Enable this if you want to show this IDP to all users during Login
Send Configured Attributes	Enabling this would allow you to add attributes to be sent from IDP

• Click on Save.

• To perform SSO with ADFS as Identity Provider, your application must be https enabled.
• Navigate to Server Manager Dashboard >Tools > ADFS Management.




• Navigate to ADFS > Application Groups. Right click on Application Groups & click on Add Application group then enter Application Name. Select Server Application & click on Next.

• On the Sample Application Properties click OK.

3. Test Connection

• Visit your Login Page URL.
• Go to Identity Providers tab.
• Click on Select >> Test Connection option against the Identity Provider (IDP) you configured.



• On entering valid ADFS credentials (credentials of user assigned to app created in ADFS), you will see a pop-up window which is shown in the below screen.



• Hence your configuration of ADFS as IDP in miniOrange is successfully completed.

Configure Attribute Mapping

• Go to Identity Providers >> View Identity Providers >> Your configured ADFS as IdP.
• Now click on Select and then Configure Attribute Mapping of your application.



• Under Attribute Type - EXTERNAL for the external attributes that need to be transformed and sent to applications or service providers.

• Check attributes in test connection window from last step. Enter the attribute names (any name) that you want to send to your application under Attribute Name sent to SP.
• Enter the value of attributes that are coming from IdP into the Attribute Name from IdP field on the Xecurify side.

Setup Multiple IDPs (Optional)

• You can configure multiple IDPs (Identity Providers) and give users the option to select the IDP of their choice to authenticate with.
  For Example - It could be multiple AD domains belonging to different departments or multiple okta organizations.

Few usecases where customers configure multiple IDPs -


• Suppose you have a product which many of your clients use and each client has their own unique IDP so you want them to SSO into your product as well using their existing IDP only. miniOrange provides a centralized way to connect with all IDPs in a very easy manner and integrate SSO into your application.
• Suppose you are providing a course to many universities, each having a unique SAML, OAuth protocol supported IDP's like Shibboleth, ADFS, CAS, etc. You can provide Single Sign-On (SSO) into your course application to all these universities by integrating with all of them using a single platform provided by miniOrange.
• This is the endpoint to call from your SAML application -

For Cloud IDP -	https://login.xecurify.com/moas/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>
For On-Premise IDP -	https://yourdomain.com/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>



• You should copy the Customer Key from admin console-> Settings -> and replace it with <customer_id> here. Once configured in SP, when you initiate the login from Service Provider, a user will be redirected to IDP Selection Page listing all IDPs configured for that account.

You can see the screenshot below of the IDP Selection Page with a list of IDPs.




Note: To view the IDP in drop-down list, go to Identity Providers tab > against your configured IDP > Select >Edit , here Enable the Show IdP to Users option.
