I am implementing Single Sign On through SAML. For this, I need an IDP (Identity Provider) which can be installed on-premise. Can you provide me the list of IDP's available and their licence Cost and supported platform? I searched and found like Gluu, Shibboleth but not finding the exact. Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Refer SAML-based products and services.
I have used shibboleth and simpleSAMLphp - both open source - both work.
If you want to pay, then Ping Federate, ADFS, OpenAM and Auth0 are all good options.
I do not want to share our user identity with anyone else. We are using Progress Open Edge Database to store user id and password and authenticate from there.
Is there any way that we install IDP on-premise where our user identities should not be shared in cloud rather it is in our network?
I am using OneLogin but it allows to share user id with themseleves but i do not want to share user id with any IDP, instead it should be on my network, that is why i am lokking for an IDP which can be installed on-premise.
A little old post but maybe someone else looking for an answer can benefit. There are many Identity Providers available out there. It depends on your use case which one you should go with and if you need an open source or if you want full support for it.
If your use case requires you to support all the IAM features with easy to configure UI then Keycloak and miniOrange are the ones I would recommend. Keycloak is open source and miniOrange charges for support if you need it. There are others like Shibboleth and SimpleSAMLphp but they don't have an intuitive and easy to use UI and you will have make changes in their config files directly.
As you already pointed above since you don't have any cost issues then you can check out ADFS and Ping Federate.
My best choices will be:
Paid : PingIdentity
Free (as in community) : WSO2 IS, Forgerock OpenAM, Redhat Keycloak
Free : SAMLphp, ADFS (you paid for the servers anyway)

We want to use SSO for a group of apps (this will include GitLab, probably Drupal and a bunch of small apps I will write in Symfony for various tasks). We would like to currently use Google accounts to authenticate all apps, but because there are limits (I know you can increase them) on how many apps you can have and Google sometimes change what features are free, it would be good to have the option of using our own login down the track if needed.
I have used SimpleSAMLphp in the past with GitLab (using a database to store credentials) and it worked well. Is there a way that I can use the Google Auth as an IDP and have SimpleSAMLphp record the email address to link the accounts etc and allow me to add things like groups etc in to send down to the app when a login happens? I would put a password field in the login table in the database as well so that if we decide to move away from Google we can generate random passwords and continue without too many issues.
The information I find online is for using SimpleSAMLphp as the IDP for gsuite etc (we will be using general Google accounts, not ones in gsuite) and not the other way around. I also couldn't see any Authentication Modules for Google authentication. Are there any tutorials or instructions anywhere on this?
You can accomplish what you are asking fairly easily. Instead of integrating your SPs with Google directly, integrate them with an SSP idP you control, then set up your authentication page (i.e. the page redirected to by your authsource module) to be an SP for Google. Here's what that looks like:
vendor sp -> your SSP idP -> your login app -> your SSP SP -> google idP
This way you end up with only a single Google integration configured for all your vendor integrations. There are numerous benefits to this approach:
You aren't affected by # of integration constraints imposed by google
Since your vendor SP integrations are controlled on your own server, you can easily move to a different cloud-based idP for authentication in the future without having to re-integrate all your SPs
You can easily give your users alternate sign-in choices if you want.
You aren't constrained to SAML or protocols supported by Google. Many vendors still use proprietary token based authentication. These can easily be supported with this setup.
Happy to help with implementation details if you need it.
How do I determine the identity provider (IdP) of a web application? I have been assigned to manage an LMS web application (I have basic admin privileges) that I am unfamiliar with and they would like to integrate SSO using SAML. I figure this is a noob question but I cannot find guidance on the topic anywhere.
I tried checking other threats on stackoverflow but I don't think any were this basic. I also tried going through the authorization settings of the LMS site but did not see anything helpful. Our site does have a sign in with google option (not sure if that shed's any light)
{No code to show}
If the LMS supports SAML out of the box, consult LMS docs on how to configure SAML on LMS side. The LMS will likely be a service provider. The identity provider will be an entity external to LMS. You will need to talk to admins of the identity provider so they can supply you with information about the identity provider. This information is known as SAML metadata; it is often provided in XML format. You will need to enter this information in config screens on LMS side. Sometimes the identity provider and/or the service provider will have instructions that show specific configuration steps for getting the other party to work with them; this might be your best bet for "out of the box" setup.
If the LMS doesn't support SAML, then all bets are off.
I need some guidance on my SSO implementation. We have a web application where we are authenticating the user through applications Database. We check user details in USER table and match password. If everything looks good we create PHP session and allow user to Login. One of our partners is requested for SSO integration, they want us to behave like Identity Provider (their application will be Service Provider). I have no idea from where should I start. Few initial guiding points will be a great help.
Thank you!
First question is what protocol they want to use:
SAML 2.0, WS-Federation or OpenID Connect / OAuth?
What platforms do you use? - Windows , Linux? Microsoft shop?
Do you want to pay for a commercial product or use open source?
What repository do you want to authenticate against? You mention a DB. Is this SQL Server, MySQL or what? Not all products authenticate against all repositories.
If e.g. the answer is SAML 2.0 and open source, look at shibboleth or simpleSAMLphp.
identityserver would be another possibility.
If the answer is WS-Fed, Microsoft commercial, look at ADFS.
We're a small-ish educational institution whose school email is through Google Apps for Education. We have contracted with an external vendor who is provisioning accounts for Google by getting a list of students from our AD who do not have an email account already provisioned. Once provisioned, the student authenticates to Google services by using their AD account credentials (which is how they access network resources while on campus).
I've been looking into saving a bit of $$ by bringing this process in-house but have been struggling while seeking tangible examples of how to go about doing this. The documentation that I did find has a deprecation warning. Is SAML still how this authentication scheme would be handled? If so, can someone help point me in the correct direction for this?
I've looked through the similar questions and none of them really seem to help.
Python and .NET are accepted solution implementations here.
There are two ways for SSO authentication.
SP-initiated
IDP-initiated
For SP-initiated on google apps you need to:
* Created a certificate and a private key using openssl toolkit or any other tool.
* Upload this certificate to the Google Apps single sign on settings.
* Give login URL to your application etc.
After saving setting on google are done. Now you need to write a code that wil accept request token from google and after parsing send it back to google app.
For code on your side you will use openSAML libraries.
You will also need a keystore(*.jks) in order to make SAML response signed.
These links will help you.
SAML token help.

I have a 3rd party program that supports web SSO using SAML 1.1 (it is ready to serve as the Service Provider, in other words).
We would like to implement this SSO for our intranet users based on their Active Directory credentials. In other words, they've already logged on to their system, so let's simply use those credentials to facilitate an SSO. I am a little overwhelmed at where to begin, though.
My initial thought is that IIS / Active Directory could easily serve as the Identity Provider since IIS gives us "Integrated Windows Authentication" abilities. I would think we could just create a .NET web app that requires Integrated Authentication which simply extracts the current user ID, builds the SAML response, and re-directs the user back to the Service Provider with this SAML response to complete the SSO.
But then, my problem is that I simply have no real idea of how to go about creating this SAML response, the X.509 certs involved, etc... I am wondering if I am in over my head on this, or if creating this SAML response should be relatively easy.
Note this SSO is to be used by intranet users only, so no need to worry about federating with other companies / domains.
Another option that you may want to look into is Microsoft's Active Directory Federation Server (ADFS) 2.0.
I wouldn't bother trying to build something SAML compliant. It will take you weeks to use a toolkit and your efforts will probably only handle the one use case. Once you get something custom into place you'll soon realize the rest of your organization needs some type of SAML integration as well (either internal or externally).
The quickest (and IMHO) easiest way (and you'll come out looking like a hero) is to use something like PingFederate from www.pingidentity.com. You can have it up and running in less than a day if you know what you are doing.
