We want to implement single sign on in our applications and want to use OKTA api.
But our application need to be SAML enabled for us to proceed forward.
Currently we use forms authentication in our applications.
Could someone share details about how can we implement SAML in our application.
Any sample code or links are appreciated.
Yes - you need a client side SAML stack.
Refer SAML : SAML connectivity / toolkit for a list of stacks available.
I strongly suggest you use one of these rather than roll your own.

I have a requirement where in we have integrated our ECM software with okta. To upload documents to the ECM software, i would need to get the SAML token from okta and append the token with the document upload request webservice.
I would like to know if there are any documentations/ java code snippets which explain a simple okta-saml based authentication without any Spring security or other frameworks.
The reason I am asking this is because, we use a webservice to uplaod the documenst to ECM software wits the SAMl token embedded.
Please let me know how to achieve a simple okta SAML authentication for the above scenario.
Thanks,
Pradeep
I have used some git hub codes without any success.
Of course you can implement a SAMLv2 compliant Service Provider yourself, but this will take some time. I would not only consume the SAML Assertion (the XML Document) as such. The SAML message handling could be done with OpenSAML library (https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/OS30/Home), but it won't provide you with a SAMLv2 compliant SP implementation.
Looking for direction.
I've got a single web application that I want to SSO into from multiple applications that all handle their own authentication. The web application wants to use SAML for SSO'ing. The web application requires IdP metadata (we've got one web service that is its own IdP, don't know what the other applications are using). The web application can also accept SAML Assertions with provisions to determine user access when it creates the new users after they SSO in.
I'm looking to get a one stop shop for the web application to hit to determine authentication and authorization.
I've got another web application (.NET Core) that runs Identity Server 4 to handle authentication for one of the many applications that wants to SSO into the web application. Can I use that? I would need to integrate SAML into it. How do I do that? Also, how can I easily integrate all the other applications to use this one web application to SSO into the SAML web application. Is this what Federating is?
Trying to do this with minimal work to all the other applications because that kind of integration work across multiple teams would be kind of a nightmare.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
If you're already using Identity Server 4, you're probably best to stick with it and add SAML SSO support to it.
SAML SSO support isn't included natively in Identity Server 4 but there are two commercial offerings that add this support.
The following link has some good articles describing how to support SAML SSO in Identity Server 4.

We want to deeply integrate OneDrive with our web app in order to handle document and storage data. However, we want the users not to log in twice. I'm not sure whether this is possible, but I've been reading about SSO and SAML and it seems like it's the way to go.
Is it possible, and if so, is Single Sign On the way to go?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a great solution for user experience when web applications are hosted on different domains. SAML as a standard was developed for cross domain authentication to solve this use case. You will need an Identity Provider (IdP) server that handles authentication of users to your web application and then the IdP Server issues SAML assertions to your web application and OneDrive. Your application in this architecture will be a Service Provider (SP) that will consume SAML assertions, as well as OneDrive is a SP that consumes SAML assertions. There are a number of SSO/Federation vendors that provide the IdP Server.
As far as implementation, once you have chosen and installed the IdP Server, you will need to implement your web application to consume the SAML assertion and configure the IdP Server as a connection. OneDrive will simply be a configuration as it already supports SAML and WS-Federation.
In addition to SAML as a protocol, there are other standards with respect to SSO/Federation such as OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2. When choosing a IdP Server solution you may want to look at these other protocols that can solve additional use cases. SAML works well for web applications and the use case you have described. OIDC and OAuth2 are better suited for secure APIs and native mobile applications.
Another consideration when looking at an IdP Server is how authentication is to be performed. Options for authentication could be using Kerberos/IWA if all clients are on a common domain, or authentication using a Login Form. You may also want to look at MFA support when looking at an IdP Server as part of the SSO solution.
I am tasked with setting up Single-Sign-On between ADFS and Taleo Business Edition. In this case it is an IdP initiated SSO and I have to use .net. I know .net 4.5 supports SAML, which is what the relying party (Taleo) requires to validate a user-- but I cannot find any good tutorials to even get started. Any help is appreciated, I have read through the WIF documents and some of their Developer Training Kit but it does not seem to be what I need to do. Does anyone have any pointers on good places to start? No one in my office is sure of how to do this.
EDIT: My approach is to just create a .aspx form and put that link on our intranet homepage, send the necessary credentials to the relying party (Taleo), who then interprets the SAML token and redirects the user. Does this this seem like a sound approach?
What you have to do is add Taleo as a Claims provider to ADFS. easiest to ask then for their metadata file and import that.
Essentially you are federating ADFS and Taleo.
This a common pattern - refer e.g. AD FS 2.0 Step-by-Step Guide: Federation with Shibboleth 2 and the InCommon Federation for a SAML example.
.NET 4.5 does not support the SAML protocol - it only supports SAML tokens. Neither does WIF.
You would normally go to the ADFS IDP Initiated page, sign in and then pick Taleo from the dropdown and then you will be redirected to Taleo with SSO so you won't need to authenticate again.'
Im a newbie to the SSO concept and SAML.My requirement is in detail below :
having a common login page. End user will be logged in using credentials;
once the user is logged in, he will be redirected to my application. From there, we will have links to other application.
Here, my application is working as Service Provider.
My question is : as SP, how could I generate SAML 2.0 request to other applications from mine?
How to check whether my application supports SAML 2.0?(its java based).
To conclude, how to generate and send/receive digital signatures through SAML 2.0?
Can anyone please explain me the flow first then direct me to some link?
Does your application support SSO? If not, it probably doesn't support SAML.
You need a client side SAML stack. - examples here.
The commercial implementations in particular have lots of example code.
For Java, look at the Spring SAML extension.
Also, get as much information as you can re. the IDP because that will determine what SAML protocols and bindings you need to implement.
