Now I'm trying to transform two website systems to SSO authentication using WSO2 Identity Server ,these two systems have
their own authentication,one of them use spring-security to control the url Authorities,i've just cut the spring-security intercept and successfully implement SSO authentication，now I wonder if I can implement SSO integrated with spring-security ,what confuse me is the two different systems have different User entity and their own authorization strategy,should I change the struct of them to the same now ?
you can create roles of both the applications in Identity server and assign them to an user. For example, If a user has role as ADMIN in application1 and USER in application2, you can assign both the roles to the same user in ID server.
I think Spring security authentications used in your applications won't be affected because you will use only Principal values to authenticate user.

I'm trying to do limit access to my application using WSO2 identity server.
In summary, a contracting company will send us a list of authorized usernames and, using WSO2, we want to be able to federate access and authorize only those usernames into each application of ours.
The general setup is: my WSO2 server will act as a federation hub to various external identity providers (IdP). These IdPs will contain their own user tables with all the users of their third party company. However, only some of those users should have access to our application (to charge by user count), as demonstrated by this diagram.
So far I've been able to
login into the application using WSO2;
Federate authentication from WSO2 to the external IdP; and
I'm able to restrict access to the application with XACML policies based on the user's role.
However, all the attributes currently come from the external identity provider, so in this scenario, they would actually be in control of who has access to the application. What I want is to be able to use their IdP for authentication, and my WSO2 instance for authorization.
Could you shed some light on how to achieve this?
here is my specifications
Some users of my application are employees of the company and must use the Active Directory to connect.
Others are external users who are referenced in the application database.
Once authenticated, the user receives a JWT token and it's this token which gives him access (RBAC) to the services of the application.
So I have to implement an authentication system that manages three methods, LDAP, JDBC, JWT.
How can we do that with quarkus ?
With Wildfly my authentication module tries to validate the login successively on a list of realms.
A simple solution seem be to use keycloak to aggregate different providers
But I'm asked preferably to have only one executable to deploy.
So I'm looking for a standalone solution.
Thank
User is authenticated on website using LDAP. How do I automatically authenticate the same user on another website using LDAP. The two websites are on the same domain but separate websites- they both authenticate against same LDAP store. Is an authentication token somehow passed from one to next? Or the credentials or something..? Sort of new to LDAP auth...
You can not use LDAP to achieve Single Sign On. LDAP is an 'authentication protocol' and a 'data model'.
You either need a proprietary mechanism or some standards based technology like OIDC or SAML.
I work for a healthcare SaaS company where all of our SSOs use SAML 2.0, and we cannot use LDAP. We have one particular client right now who wants to use ADFS to SSO from their intranet to our site and seem to act as though LDAP is the only option (and that they can't produce SAML assertions for our handshake).
What is the difference between SSO and SAML? What can one accomplish that the other one cannot? Why would my company require SAML over LDAP?
What I'm theorizing from research but am welcoming correction on:
-SAML is safer than LDAP because of authentication/encryption (but I don't know the specifics)
-LDAP is more widely used with companies but SAML is often used with enterprise clients
-LDAP can also be used to control users' access to other programs/sites they have access to (i.e. IT and revoking access to a terminated employee)
Thank you for your help!
Using LDAP for authentication requires disclosing the user's credentials at the application. If the application is running in a different administrative domain (i.e. a SaaS app) this is less preferred since the user's credentials end up in a 3rd-party domain.
OTOH SAML allows you to sign in to the application without disclosing the user's credentials to the application itself which offers increased security. It also increases convenience since the user only has to remember one credential.
LDAP is an Identity repository.
SAML is an Identity standard that could use LDAP as the repository. Or it could use something else like AD.
Just a correction - SAML does not use SOAP.
You can configure ADFS 4.0 (Server 2016) to authenticate against an LDAP and ADFS supports SAML.
If ADFS was configured that way, you would use SAML for SSO, authenticate against a LDAP and get a SAML token returned.
I'm currently developing a API to commercialized in a B2B SAAS fashion.
The goal is to authenticate the worker of the company. We have an SDK that should be able to do that. There is the possibility to force each user to set credentials specific for our service, but that will hurt integration with companies applications.
The idea would be to have some kind of authentication (client independent) that make it easier to authenticate users.
The question is: There is a easy way to create an automatic process that does not depend on the client type of authentication methods, for this type of task?
Thanks in advance.
Have you taken a look at Azure AD? It specifically supports multi-tenant scenarios.
Tenants can use Azure AD Connect to sync their on-premise directory to the cloud. Clients can use ADAL to acquire a token which your service trusts. The issued token contains a tenant-id claim indicating via which tenant the user logged in.
Just to add to MvdD answer, in Azure AD support three ways to sign in:
Federated Single Sign-On enables applications to redirect to Azure AD
for user authentication instead of prompting for its own password.
This is supported for applications that support protocols such as SAML
2.0, WS-Federation, or OpenID Connect, and is the richest mode of single sign-on.
Password-based Single Sign-On enables secure application password
storage and replay using a web browser extension or mobile app. This
leverages the existing sign-in process provided by the application,
but enables an administrator to manage the passwords and does not
require the user to know the password.
Existing Single Sign-On enables Azure AD to leverage any existing
single sign-on that has been set up for the application, but enables
these applications to be linked to the Office 365 or Azure AD access
panel portals, and also enables additional reporting in Azure AD when
the applications are launched there.
