Passing Authenticated info from WSO2 to SP App - server

We are starting a project for SSO and using wso2 to do all SAML , OAuth and keep our Webapplications as service providers.
I have been through the online documentation but need some help .
When user tries to Access to any resource in our webapplication i would send user to wso2 to get Authenticated in case of OAuth /openid connect , how would i form this url ?
I have configured IDP and SP in WSO2 console, after authentication how does WSO2 give credentials of authenticated users to service provider , i see as per document or sample app , this should be SAML or any other sso protocols like oauth etc. documentation is not clear or any examples i can find
i want to redirect the user after OAuth or SAML with my own created Authn cookie , what is the provision for that .
any help would be appreciated

Yes, You can configure your application as service providers and wso2 IS as Identity provider.I guess, You can implement saml sso for your scenario and its simply documented here.There is another blog which describe the same configuration
You can download travelocity sample code and war file .Analysing the code you can get some idea about implementation.
By following above blogs, You can implement the complete SSO flow.

Q. > When user tries to Access to any resource in our webapplication i would send user to wso2 to get Authenticated in case of OAuth /openid connect , how would i form this url ?
Answer :
https://localhost:9443/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=wCmphfs69oaN3JhqO3d9FFgsNCMa&scope=openid&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/Samplespapp/googleauth.jsp
client_id : is that if which we get on UI oof wso2 console after we finish configuring Service provider in my case i configured Inbound Authentication Configuration as OAuth open id .
redirect_uri is the url where we want to go after authentication , this should match callbackback url in View/Update application settings
Answer 2: I still dont see any valid reason why inbound authentication has to be sso protocol but this is how wso2 works , to put it in laymans term i have a client to connect to using SAML and Other OAuth . i opt for a SSO vendor who takes that headache from me to implement SSO protocols but i Still have to implement atleast one SSO protocol as after SSO handshake wso2 has to communicate userX with role as Admin to service provider app this is done again using SSO !!
ping federate makes it simple it makes an encrypted request header that had data in key value pair. may be i am not understanding but i dont like this inbound Authentication in SSO .
Q. 3.>i want to redirect the user after OAuth or SAML with my own created Authn cookie , what is the provision for that
documentation is poor in this area just some java classes but no end to end example , every one will point to travelocity .

Configure SSO with Zimbra using simplesaml

I have installed Zimbra Network Edition v8.8.8 and it is running fine. I am trying to configure SSO using simplesaml but I am stuck at the part where I have to pass the SAML response for the SSO. Quoting from https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Authentication/SAML:
Note for SAML Provider
SAML Provider must POST the SAML Response at the following URL for
SSO:
<zimbra_base_url>/service/extension/samlreceiver
This SAML Consumer extension requires that the Subject Name Identifier
inside the SAML Assertion must be the account email address, so
configure the Provider accordingly.
I have tried to edit the saml20-idp-remote.php and include the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL but I think the URL that I used was wrong. Or should I actually configure it in saml20-sp-remote.php file? I'm new to both SSO and Zimbra.
In the meantime I'll check out this (just found it):
SAML 2.0: How to configure Assertion Consumer Service URL
Appreciate all the help.
Thanks.
The Zimbra SAML extension provides support for the Browser/POST Profile of SAML.

Hope this helps!

SSO Federation metadata exchange using SAML

We are about to integrate our JAVA application with SSO Federation. We will get a metadata in SAML2 Assertion format and all the session tracking is taken care by SSO federation.
I am not clear how the session tracking happens with each request in our JAVA application. Our main page URL is configured in the SSO federation and after user clicks the link control comes to our application. So if I navigate to other URL apart from the one configured, how the federation track the session? Do we need to pass any metadata for each and every request?
We have been asked to share the home page URL and certificate information and SSO federation will configure those in their portal.
A Java application server normally trackes a user session using a 'JSESSIONID' cookie. Once the SAML assertion generated by an IDP(say ADFS) has been validated by the SP(the java application here) a security context /session is created which is identified by a JSESSIONID. The browser sends JSESSIONID cookie with seubsquest requests and the application verifies it and servers the requetsed resource/URL.

Need to provide both Basic Authorization and SSO on Bluemix Liberty server

I have a Java app running under Websphere Liberty on IBM Bluemix. I need to be able to authenticate users 3 different ways - Basic Auth, SAML SSO, and OpenAuth SSO, in that order.
I can set up the app to do Basic Auth (using custom code) or SAML SSO (using the Bluemix Single Sign On service), but can't figure out a way to configure it to handle both at once. (I haven't even looked into how to do OpenAuth yet.) If I configure the app to use the Bluemix SSO service, then my app never sees the incoming requests to check for a userid and password to try Basic Auth before the SSO service grabs it.
I tried changing the redirect URL in the SSO service to an endpoint inside my app, but then all I get is
CWOAU0062E: The OAuth service provider could not redirect the request because the redirect URI was not valid. Contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.
I can't be the only one that needs to do this. Can anyone tell me how they did it?

Building federation environment with ADFS 3.0 and Ping Identity

We are trying to federate our application, so that our customers can gain access to our application using their respective corporate identities.
Well, I understand the mechanism of federation process, I’ve been able to setting up ADFS and I’ve modified the code of our application for accepting claims into my lab environment and all work fine.
In the next weeks I’m going to build a federation trust between ADFS and our customer’s product (Ping Identity) and I need your help to understand what kind of information I’ll have to exchange with customer’s IT department to complete that step.
I’ve never been experience with Ping Identity products.
Appreciate any help.
Many Thanks
I am going to make a couple of assumptions about your application, mainly that it is .NET application hosted on IIS. This type of application integrates Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) using tags in the web.config and then reads the authenticated users identity information via the Claims Identity object passed to your application. In this case your application is referred to as the Service Provider (SP).
If your customer is using PingFederate, the integration is straightforward in that a WS-Federation SP Connection would be configured on their server referred to as the Identity Provider (IdP). If your customer is using PingOne, then the integration will be tricky.
The information to exchange for PingFederate is driven by the configuration in the configuration in web.config. You need to configure the thumbprint which is based on the digital signing certificate of the WS-Federation response containing the SAMLv1.1 token. Your customer will be able to provide the thumbprint value. You will also need to configure the federated authentication URL, issuer, and realm, which is the information about PingFederate IdP server. The issuer is the URL for your SP application to redirect to the PingFederate IdP server, along with the realm which equates to the PingFederate SP Connection. Be sure that you configure the audienceUris to be the same value as the realm. The PingFederate administrator will need to know your Service URL endpoint which is your SP application endpoint to receive the WS-Federation response with the SAMLv1.1 token.

SSO and IDP proxy for UI and REST

We are building a SaaS application (enterprise oriented).
We have to be able to log-in the users against the saml2 IdP of their company with SSO functionality (so multi-tenant context)
We prefer to manage it in a isolated component and so not directly on the application it self.
We think to use a kind of "proxy".
We have two questions :
- Does WSO2 IS is able to act as proxy, delegating the authentication to an extern IdP ?
- Our SaaS application will be offered via UI relying on REST ful services, so we need to manage SSO
also with the services, so for example :
. The user comes on the UI without any log-in before
. The company IDP login-page is shown for authentication
. Once logged , the UI will perform some calls to REST service and we need to secure those service call, to be sure
the user is allowed to call this service
How to manage it ?
Does the "proxy" API can act also as "proxy services" in order to call the extern IDP API ?
Tks
Nicolas.
If i got your question correctly, There is an existing IDP in "foo" company. In "bar" domain you have applications. You are not going to integrate application directly with IDP in "foo". And you are wishing to install an another IDP in "bar" domain where this "bar" domain IDP can talks to existing IDP in "foo" domain. Yes. WSO2IS can be used to implement such use case. It has "Authentication Framework" for SAML2 SSO logon... Let me explain it bit. When user is directed to WSO2IS SAML2 IDP, user can be authenticated by verifying user/password which is the default behavior. (default authenticator that is picked by "Authentication Framework"). But there can be any other authenticators such as SAML2 SSO (where WSO2IS can call to another SAML2 IDP and authenticate the user), OpenID and so on. I guess, same scenario has been discussed here. I found blog on implementing this.
