External Identity Provider

The miniOrange PAM solution offers Single Sign-On functionality, which requires the administrator to configure the identity provider within the PAM solution. To enable Single Sign-On, the miniOrange PAM solution utilizes the OAuth 2.0 protocol and openID Connect (OIDC) protocol.

Within the Single Sign-On section of the PAM dashboard, the administrator can configure various identity providers such as Github, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Apps, Salesforce, Linkedin, Facebook, Apple ID, and more.

In this guide, we will demonstrate the configuration of Azure Active Directory with the miniOrange PAM application. If you have already created an application in Azure Active Directory, you can skip the step for setting up the Azure Active Directory application.

Setup Azure Active Directory application

  • Create an application in Azure Active Directory using App registration.
  • Fill name, choose Supported Account Types, for now don’t fill Redirect URI (optional) field.
    • Privileged Access Management Admin Handbook: Provide the required information in Register an Application

Guide to Setting Up Attribute Mapping Functionality for the External Identity Provider :

  • To establish attribute mapping between PAM and the external identity provider, follow the steps outlined below.
  • Note - these steps should be followed after saving the configuration for the external identity provider.
  • Navigate to the Single Sign-On page, which can be found under the Authentication section in the sidebar dropdown menu.
  • Ensure that you have performed a test connection and verified that the user information is being successfully displayed for attribute mapping purposes.
  • The information pertaining to the external identity provider will be presented on this page.
  • To proceed with attribute mapping, click on the plus icon located below the provided note.
    • PAM Handbook: Navigate to Authentication - Single Sign-On and Click on plus icon

To map PAM attributes (Email, Username, Phone number, First name, Last name, User groups) to external identity attributes, follow these steps :

  • In the left input box, select the desired PAM attribute. If you want to create your custom attribute that is not present in list, input the attribute name and press enter, new attribute will be created in list.
  • In the right input box, select the corresponding attribute value from the external identity source.

When an end user performs Single Sign-On to the PAM application and undergoes user verification, the user information will include a dictionary consisting of key-value pairs. The key is external attribute name, while the value is external attribute value. The key value will be used to find mapped PAM attribute. Value of that key will be saved in mapped PAM attribute.

For Example: If the administrator wishes to assign the value of the external identity's username attribute to the First name attribute in the PAM solution, select "First name" as the PAM attribute from the left box and choose the username field from external attribute list from the right box.

Once the attribute mapping is completed, click on the Save button. This will update the configuration for the attribute mapping of the external identity provider.

IMPORTANT: If attribute mapping is done, then it is mandatory to map email attribute.
