Configuring Single Sign-On for a Portal

Configuring Single Sign-On for a Portal

Single sign-on is an authentication service that allows a user to use one set of credentials to access multiple applications. It allows users to sign in to an identity provider application for authentication and grants access to other applications your service provider hosts.
An identity provider is an entity that manages authentication information and provides authentication services through the use of security tokens. For example, Microsoft Azure or Okta. A service provider is an entity that provides web services to users. For example, an entity that hosts web applications. You can configure single sign-on for the portal you create or import through the Portal Configuration tool. You must enable external authentication to configure single sign-on when you create or import a portal.
Before you configure single sign-on, ensure that you add the provider property
provider.type
 and set its value to
SAML
 in
Portal Login Module
 in Security Providers tool of the Hub Console.
  1. On the
    Home
     page, select the portal for which you want to configure single sign-on.
  2. Click the
    Action
     icon on the portal, and select
    SSO Configurations
    .
    The
    SSO Configurations
     option appears only on published portals.
    When you configure for the first time, the
    SSO Quick Setup Steps
     dialog box appears.
  3. Read through the instructions, and click
    OK
    .
    To see the quick setup steps again, click
    SSO Quick Setup Steps
     in the
    Service Provider Settings
     section.
  4. Click
    Download Service Provider Metadata
    .
    The service provider metadata XML file is downloaded.
  5. To digitally sign in the authentication request before sending it to your identity provider, select
    Sign Authentication Request
    .
  6. To digitally sign in the log out request before sending it to your identity provider, select
    Sign Logout Request
    .
  7. Upload the service provider metadata file to your identity provider application. For example, to upload the service provider metadata file to Microsoft Azure, perform the following steps:
    1. Log in to Microsoft Azure portal.
    2. Select the enterprise application that you want to configure.
    3. Click
      Set up single sign on
      .
      The
      Select a single sign-on method
       page appears.
    4. Click
      SAML
      .
      The
      Set up Single Sign-On with SAML
       page appears.
    5. Click
      Upload metadata file
      .
    6. Navigate to the service provider metadata file that you downloaded, and click
      Add
      .
      The
      Basic SAML Configuration
       page appears displaying values from the service provider metadata file.
      If the upload fails and the values do not appear on the
      Basic SAML Configuration
       page, navigate to the
      Set up Single Sign-On with SAML
       page and click
      Edit
       to add the values manually from the service provider metadata file.
    7. To redirect the user to a page after the user logs out, enter a logout URL.
    8. Click
      Save
       and
      Close
      .
    9. Download the federation metadata XML file from the
      SAML Signing Certificate
       section on the
      Set up Single Sign-On with SAML
       page.
  8. In the
    Identity Provider Settings
     section of the Portal Configuration tool, click
    Choose File
    .
  9. Navigate to the federation metadata XML file that you downloaded, and click
    Open
    .

    NameID
     element is mapped to the
    User Name Mapping
     field. You can also map the path to the email address in the
    User Name Mapping
     field.
    The fields in the
    Identity Provider Settings
     section populates with values from the federation metadata XML file.
  10. Click
    Save
