Does ADFS 2.0 with WS-Federation support IdP-initiated SSO? and if yes, how? I could not find the answer on the internet yet and if yes, could you please help me with a sample?
I configured a trust relation between the ADFS 2.0 (IdP) and my RP using a metadata configuration. Everything works fine in SP initiated SSO but I don't know how to configure the IdP initiated one.
I'm opening this link https://[SOEMTHING]/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx but it is showing an empty list with Signout button only.
What did I miss?
is it configured through the RP-metadata file only?
There's no such thing as IDP-initiated-SSO in the WS-Federation standard, but ADFS 2.0 allows for so-called "smart links" that achieve relatively similar behavior as described in: http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/sso/358-using-smart-links-or-idp-initiated-authentication-with-office-365.aspx. Your RP (e.g. O365) needs to support that too.

Unfortuantely the built in AEM SAML Utility does not support the HTTP Redirect binding (only post binding). I have to perform SAML authentication to an external IDP which has HTTP redirect for both single sign on and single logout. Because of the AEM limitation I would like to configure ADFS to handle authentication with this external IDP and somehow get AEM to talk to that ADFS (either a federation service, or maybe an RP or claims provider). Does anybody know how this could potentially be achieved? I am assuming I could leverage the SAML utility or the SSO utility/modules in AEM (sling) to connect to ADFS somehow who will be responsbile to relay or proxy the IDP response to AEM. thanks
Using OOTB SAML Authentication Handler there is an option IDP HTTP Redirect, I was able to configure SAML authentication with a redirect to ADFS and then after giving credentials, IDP was redirecting back to AEM with SAML2 response containing all the data, however, that was handled by POST Binding.
EDIT:, OK, I have just noticed that IDP HTTP Redirect option is not present in linked official documentation however on the video in this tutorial you can see it available on AEM 6.1... I do not recollect now if the POST binding is used at the end so that please check first if that might work with this option as I have used that before.
If you would need other solution, the fastest option I see is checking the default implementation of SAML Authentication Handler by decompiling (it can be done following these steps, by at the same time I am only suggesting, not recommending that!) and base on it implementing custom handler adapted to your needs.
Iam just starting to pick up on Identity Federation. I have a few questions on the differences between openID and SAML. Hope to get more insights here:
Scenario:
1)What is the different between SAML and openID?
OpenID:
2) I have 3 IDP (Google, Yahoo, AOL) and 4 RP (relying parties)
If I login to the 1st RP via a user account in Google, will I be able to SSO to the other 3 RP web site without logging in again?
3) Is openID suitable to be implemented where the RP are in the internet and the IDP is in the intranet?
SAML:
4) I read that SAML does not work well on internet and is more suitable for intranet. Is that true?
5) Is SAML suitable to be implemented where the RP are in the internet and the IDP is in the intranet?
Thank you.
A bit specific question. How they are stored depends on the application that uses Oauth or SAML. The safest and easiest way to handle them would be for to use some third party application or library that abstracts and takes care of the communication.
For Oauth - look here
For SAML - Have a look at for example Shiboleth or OpenSAML
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.
I'm implementing a SSO solution with SAML using OpenAM. I'm a very beginner on theses technologies and I need some clarifications.
My progress
For the moment, I have installed a Tomcat hosting OpenAM as an IdP.
Another Tomcat fits as my SP. The WebAgent is installed on it. When trying to reach a protected part of the SP, I am redirected to the IdP logging page. Once my credentials entered, I am finally redirected to the resource. That seems to work well.
My questions
My architecture is just based on a simple SSO, doesn't it ?
How do I activate the SAMLv2 ?
Does OpenAM have to be install on all servers in the circle of trust to allow SAML ? I mean, it seems natural on the IdP, but do I need to put and configure the opensso.war on the SPs ?
The choosen scenario is IdP-Initiated SSO. If the client reaches the IdP Authenticate WS, will it have the SAML assertion ?
Thanks in advance
When using agents, you are actually relying on a more proprietary SSO and not SAML. To be precise: Liberty ID-FF messages wrapped in SAML 1.1
The web agents will never talk using SAMLv2, so you will need to have some sort of SAML SP implementation (Java fedlet/.NET fedlet/SimpleSAMLPHP/Shibboleth SP/etc). To enable SAMLv2 federation you may as well follow the documentation ( http://docs.forgerock.org/en/openam/10.0.0/admin-guide/index.html#chap-federation )
If Authenticate WS means /openam/identity/authenticate REST/JAX-WS endpoint, then the answer is no, but if you correctly initiate a SAMLv2 login on the IdP (by using the idpssoinit endpoint), then the assertion will be presented to the SP, where the SP implementation can perform the necessary validations and extract the actual data out of the assertion.
