Single Sign-On (SSO) for Apps Using WSO2 as IDP

WSO2 as IdP (Identity Provider) solution by miniOrange helps you to SSO login to your applications/websites using WSO2. WSO2 Single Sign-On solution be implemented by configuring WSO2 as SAML IDP in miniOrange, where miniOrange will act as SP. Here we will go through a step-by-step guide to configure SSO login between website/application and WSO2 by considering WSO2 as IdP (Identity provider) and miniOrange as SP(Service provider). miniOrange also acts as an identity broker for cross protocol authentication. It basically means configuring Service Provider following a particular protocol with an Identity Provider following some different protocol like SAML, OAuth etc. Once configured successfully you will be ready to securely access your website/application using WSO2 IDP.

Step 1: Configure WSO2 as Identity Provider (IDP) in miniOrange

For implementing WSO2 Single Sign-On, first we need to configure WSO2 as IDP.

Go to miniOrange Admin Console.
From the left navigation bar select Identity Providers.

Select SAML. Click on Import IDP Metadata.

Choose appropriate IDP name. Browse for the file downloaded in step 1.
Click on Import.

As shown in the below screen the IDP Entity ID, SAML SSO Login URL and x.509 Certificate will be filled from the file imported.

SAML SSO Login URL and x.509 Certificate

Few other optional features that can be added to the Identity Provider(IDP) are listed in the table below:

Domain Mapping	Can be used to redirect specific domain user to specific IDP
Show IdP to Users	Enable this if you want to show this IDP to all users during Login
Send Configured Attributes	Enabling this would allow you to add attributes to be sent from IDP

Click on Save.

Step 2: Configuring miniOrange as Service Provider (SP) in WSO2.

Let’s first register in WSO2 Identity Server (IS).

4. Configure your Application in miniOrange

Note:

If you have already configured your application in miniOrange you can skip the following steps.

Login to miniOrange Admin Console.
Go to Apps >> Add Application.

SAML Application
OAuth Application
JWT Application

Click on Create App under SAML.

Search for your Application. In case you do not find your app, search for Custom SAML App.

Get the ACS URL and SP Entity ID from your application.
Enter the following values OR click on Import SP Metadata:

Service Provider Name	Choose appropriate name according to your choice
SP Entity ID or Issuer	Your Application Entity ID
ACS URL X.509 Certificate (optional)	Your Application Assertion Consumer Service URL
NameID Format	Select urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
Response Signed	Unchecked
Assertion Signed	Checked
Encrypted Assertion	Unchecked
Group policy	Default
Login Method	Password

Click on Save to configure your application.
Now to get the IDP metadata of the app configured, Go to apps >> your_app >> select >> metadata tab.

Click on the Show Metadata details in the Information required to Authenticate via External IDPs section. Download the metadata XML file by clicking on Download Metadata button or copy the Metadata URL link.

You need to Upload this metadata in your application.

Click on Create App under OAuth/OIDC. Click on Open ID Connect App .

You can add any OAuth Client app here to enable miniOrange as OAuth Server. Few popular OAuth client apps for single sign-on are Salesforce, WordPress, Joomla, Atlassian, etc.

Enter following Values:

Client Name	Add appropriate Name
Redirect URL	Get the Redirect-URL from your OAuth Client
Descrption	Add if required
Group Name	Default
Policy Name	As per your Choice
Login Method	Password

Click on Save
Now to provide the required data to OAuth client go to the app configured i.e apps >> your_app >> select >> edit.

Note: Choose the Authorization Endpoint according to the identity source you configure.

When you want to use you want to use miniOrange as OAuth identity server use this endpoint: https://{mycompany.domainname.com}/moas/idp/openidsso
If you are configuring any Identity Provider in Identity Providers Menu and not using miniOrange as IDP use this endpoint: https://{mycompany.domainname.com}/broker/login/oauth{customerid}

Click on Create App under JWT.

Select JWT App.

Configure the name for your application and configure Redirect-URL which tells where to send JWT response. Redirect-URL should be an endpoint on your application where you want to achieve SSO.

In case you are setting up SSO with Mobile Applications where you can't create an endpoint for Redirect or Callback URL, use below URL.

https://login.xecurify.com/moas/jwt/mobile

Click Save
To get the SSO link for your application, Go to Apps >> your_app >> select >> Edit.

Then, copy the Single Sign On Url and verify SSO setup by browsing that url.

On successful authentication, you will be redirected to configured Redirect or Callback URL with JWT token
You will need to download a certificate from App > Manage Apps, and click Certificate link against your configured application. This certificate will be used for signature validation of JWT response.

Download certificate to proceed with SSO

5. Setup Multiple IDPs (Optional)

You have a choice to set multiple IDPS for Single Application, i.e integrate multiple IDP and users can select IDP accordingly from which they want to authenticate themselves. There are three different ways to authenticate users using IDP.

Login using IDP selection page: It gives users an option to Select IDP from the dropdown list during login time.
Domain Mapping: Here we map the email domains to a particular IDP. So when the user enters the Email address with a specific domain he would be redirected to the respective IDP.
App Identity Provider Mapping: This feature gives users an option to select one specific IDP for their application before login.

Note : At once you can select either of them.

You can configure multiple IDPs (Identity Providers) and give users the option to select the IDP of their choice to authenticate with.
For Example - It could be multiple AD domains belonging to different departments or multiple okta organizations.

Few usecases where customers configure multiple IDPs -

Suppose you have a product which many of your clients use and each client has their own unique IDP so you want them to SSO into your product as well using their existing IDP only. miniOrange provides a centralized way to connect with all IDPs in a very easy manner and integrate SSO into your application.
Suppose you are providing a course to many universities, each having a unique SAML, OAuth protocol supported IDP's like Shibboleth, ADFS, CAS, etc. You can provide Single Sign-On (SSO) into your course application to all these universities by integrating with all of them using a single platform provided by miniOrange.

This is the endpoint to call from your SAML application -

For Cloud IDP -	https://login.xecurify.com/moas/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>
For On-Premise IDP -	https://yourdomain.com/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>

You should copy the Customer Key from admin console-> Settings -> and replace it with <customer_id> here. Once configured in SP, when you initiate the login from Service Provider, a user will be redirected to IDP Selection Page listing all IDPs configured for that account.

You can see the screenshot below of the IDP Selection Page with a list of IDPs .

Note: To view the IDP in drop-down list, go to Identity Providers tab > against your configured IDP > Select >Edit , here Enable the Show IdP to Users option.

Select your IDP (Identity Provider) to login

You can also change the look and feel of this page. Login to miniOrange Admin console. Navigate to Customization -> Branding Configuration. See the below screenshot for reference-

You can customize the title of this page.
Change the logo and favicon for this page.
Change the background and button color for this page from admin UI.

If you have multiple IDPs and you want a certain set of users to authenticate from one IdP whereas another set of users to authenticate from another IdP, based on their email domains you can achieve this by using the following steps:- Our domain mapping feature

We have provided a Domain Mapping field under each IdP where admins can enter the domain eg. demo.com , example.com as shown in the screenshot below.

Lets say, there are two organisations under ADFS. One want to authenticate the users under the domain demo.com and other one with the domain example.com. For reference, We have taken the 2 organisations as two different IDPs and WordPress as SP. Follow the guides to set up ADFS and WordPress at your end.

Once the setup is complete you can login through your Wordpress site.
So a user logging in with the demo.com domain will be redirected to the first organisation under ADFS.

User logging in with email address having example.com domain will be redirected to the second organisation under ADFS.

Once the user will authenticate itself through respective Organisations under ADFS, it will be redirected back to Wordpress site.

If you have multiple IDPs (identity provider) and you want a certain application user to authenticate with one IDP and other application users with another IDP then you can achieve this by our Identity Source Feature.

Go to apps >> your_app >> select >>edit.

Here you will have an option called as an Identity source.
The dropdown list would show the list of configured IDPs (Identity providers) in miniOrange Identity Providers tab and Userstore.
Select one IDP you want for this application. Click on Save.

Select IDP from which you want to authenticate users

Now the users of this application would be able to authenticate only by the IDP (Identity Provider) selected from the Identity Source dropdown list.
