I am using jBPM standalone to create workflows. By default, login is performed using the users.properties file.
I have an Identity server (created in Dot Net IdentityServer4 implementing OpenId) running and I registered a client (Ex: JBPM_CLIENT) and have the details (Scope, SecretKeys, etc..)
I am trying to redirect the authentication of jBPM through that Identity gateway.
While reading the documentation I thought KeyCloak can be used for this requirement.
But, when I see the KeyCloak GUI and configuration, it looks like KeyCloak something like IdentityServer4 and is useful to create an Identity Server instance.
My doubt is whether I can use KeyCloak as a client to connect to IdentityServer4?
Please suggest me a route.
Keycloak can act as an identity broker and it supports OIDC (OpenID Connect) identity providers. Using that capability, first configure your IdentityServer4 as the OIDC provider on Keycloak. Keycloak's documentation covers these details.
Once that's set, you can configure jBPM to use Keycloak client adapter for Wildfly and then create a suitable Keycloak client under the same realm where you had configured the OIDC identity provider. Details related to that are covered in this blog (outdated though).

I have an existing JSF application that is secured by a CAS Server (version 3.5.3).
Due to customizations I am not able to update the CAS Server to a new version. So there are no OIDC, OAuth2 or other state-of-the-art protocols available. Only CAS and an early version of SAML I think.
I would like to establish SSO to an external Keycloak of a service provider. They want me to set up an internal Identity Provider that connects to their external IDP.
I have done this before with Keycloak, but in that old case my internal Keycloak has been the single point of authentication. This time it's CAS.
Is there a way to pass the authentication from CAS 3.5.3 to my internal Keycloak without logging in again?
I have thought of implementing a Custom User Storage Provider SPI to connect to my existing user database. But then I would have to log in again to my Keycloak. Is this true?
Is this achievable by implementing the CAS protocol to my internal Keycloak using an CAS Extension? I think that this allows Keycloak to crate a client using CAS protocol, but not to SSO by an existing CAS server and the user has to login to my Keyloak. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
Is there a way to pass the authentication from CAS 3.5.3 to my internal Keycloak without logging in again?
No, and if there is one, it will require LOTS and LOTS of coding and development. If you're not able to upgrade, you most likely will not be able to make such changes anyway.
There is an plugin for external SAML2 authentication here, which should allow CAS login requests to be redirected to an external SAML2 IDP:
https://github.com/UniconLabs/cas-saml-auth
If your keycloak supports SAML2, maybe this can work. Note that the plugin has not been touched since 2016, and there is no support for it from anyone. You will be 100% on your own, if you decide to go with it.
I want to secure a rest service with basic authentication. The credentials should be used to obtain an access token from a keycloak instance for that client and check the allowed roles on the service.
The quarkus security architecture guide states that at least one extension installed that provides a username/password based IdentityProvider is required. It refers to JPA IdentityProvider and JDBC IdentityProvider, only. But I want to authenticate agains keycloak.
I have successfully setup a web app and a rest service with quarkus-oidc. It authenticates the user and provides access to the rest service via access token.
I also used properties files with basic authentication successfully.
My keycloak myclient setup has Direct Access Grants Enabled with Access Type set to confidential.
My configuration in application.properties:
quarkus.oidc.enabled=true
quarkus.oidc.auth-server-url=http://localhost:8180/auth/realms/myrealm
quarkus.oidc.client-id=myclient
quarkus.oidc.credentials.secret=secret
quarkus.http.auth.basic=true
Is this a valid combination?
When I debug into HttpAuthenticator constructor the only mechanism found is OidcAuthenticationMechanism, I'd expect BasicAuthenticationMechanism to be present.
There is an existing mechanism to log into a website. Now, external / remote SAML IDP is being added to facilitate SSO. The website uses other micro-services and components that provide data and functionality to the website.
Is there a way to have an existing mechanism of local identity username password credentials to continue to co-exist as an alternate strategy for authentication alongside remote IDP SSO while keeping rest of the services handling authorization in a semantic way (using a saml token)?
P.S. I looked at the options to implement existing auth mechanism as saml IDP, but building it seems complex even with the likes of shibboleth or openSAML libraries.
P.P.S. I haven't looked at possibility of reimplementing existing auth mechanism with openId connect to co-exist with remote saml idps.
Sure: one can provide a landing page to the user that gives a choice between using a local account or an account at a remote IDP.
we am trying to use open ID connect (OIDC) for authentication and authorization (AnA) for our micro-service architecture based on spring-cloud framework
As a part of requirement we want to achieve following:
Integrate (OIDC) with SSO Federation as a Identity provider which we are using federation to authenticate users (staff id)
How to customize access_token which in turn will be provided by a micro service (Authorization service)
I am looking at MITREid Connect as its based on spring framework and spring security
https://github.com/mitreid-connect/OpenID-Connect-Java-Spring-Server
As a resutl of that, all requests to our services have to go through (OIDC) for (AnA)
I also check on https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-security/ as I understand the Zuul server will get an access_token to relay to proxied services. But our scenarios are different as we want to expose other micro-services to external parties as well so that we want to have secure our services.
Any advices is highly appreciated.
I installed PingFederate on an AWS EC2 running Windows_Server-2008-R2_SP1-English-64Bit-Base-2014.04.09. I have a Java application that is using Spring Security for authentication.
I have read about how with PingFederate, I can set up an Identity Provider(IdP) and a Service Provider(SP). I have gathered that the IdP would be the Application User providing login credentials(the Identity) and passing this to the SP which has the Target Application apart of the SP in this diagram on this page here:
http://documentation.pingidentity.com/display/PF66/Service+Providers+and+Identity+Providers
This image also shows the Federated Identity Software on both sides of the IdP and the SP.
I have created an IdP and SP with my local PingFederate server just to see what the configuration options are and I am confused on which parts of this I actually need to be able to have a SSO for my Spring Security application.
My questions are:
Do I need an IdP and SP to implement that I am trying to do.
Right now our usernames and passwords are stored in a SQL Server, would I leverage this for PingFederate to use to authenticate the users?
Should I even be using Spring Security SAML for this or would another route be more appropriate?
Thanks for any help, I have reached out to PingFederate but my Regional Solutions Architect happens to be out until Friday.
I also apologize if I am completely off in my thinking, I am trying to wrap my mind around what is needed.
Presuming your goal is to establish federation between Ping and your application (in order to e.g. externalize authentication or enable single sign-on), your thinking is correct.
The Ping Federate serves as an Identity Provider (IDP) and you can configure it to connect to your SQL server, so that it can authenticate your existing users from there. IDP communicates with other applications which are called Service Providers (SP).
In order to connect to Ping your application therefore needs to be able to act as a SAML 2.0 Service Provider and using Spring SAML is a very good way to enable it to do so.
The typical flow of data between SP and IDP for single sign-on is similar to:
User accesses SP application which requires authentication
SP creates an AuthenticationRequest and sends it to IDP (using redirect in user's browser)
IDP processes the request and authenticates the user
IDP responds back to SP with an AuthenticationResponse message
SP processes the response and creates a session for the user based on the included data
There is an assumption being made that you need SAML between your Spring app and PingFederate. That is not true depending on how it is deployed and if you (see Andy K follow-up questions). You should check out the OpenToken Integration Kit for Java or perhaps the ReferenceID Int Kit from Ping as a possible solution. Much simpler to integrate than trying to hack together another SAML solution that may not be needed. However, I would recommend talking to your RSA who can give you the best approach for your scenario.
