I have Sharepoint which has configured claims based authentication with the adfs. ADFS is configured to use third party claims provider trust. So when user is accessing sharepoint he is redirected through the adfs to the third party identity provider login page. This identity provider (IdP) returns saml2 token back to the adfs and adfs redirect user to the sharepoint.
the problem is that third party IdP is configured to return only specific saml attributes (claims). I need to configure ADFS to understand this specific attribute.
the custom saml attributes looks like:
<saml:Attribute Name="CustomID">
<saml:AttributeValue xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion">12345</saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>
How can I use this claims in ADFS and then send it to the sharepoint?
thanks.
Set up the ADFS / RP config. for the RP to pass through all claims instead of getting them from AD.

I am trying to integrate a Google Identity Platform SAML provider with Okta. Typically the flow that have used to use a GIP provider, is this process where you provide the provider ID, and wait for the callback. This works correctly with Okta as an identity. However, in order to create the Okta integration, (and allow the user to click the application and be taken to the website) you need to provide the ACS(assertion consumer service), which in this case would be https://my-app-12345.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler however when this is posted to, and a SAML response received, there is no way to redirect to our web page. Is there a way to use the SAML Provider's ACS directly, but still return the result to a JS web page?
Question:
I am trying to integrate a Google Identity Platform SAML provider with Okta. Typically the flow that have used to use a GIP provider, is this process where you provide the provider ID, and wait for the callback. This works correctly with Okta as an identity.
Answer:
(1) Okta supports the third party SAML identity provider such as Google Identity Platform or Shibboleth IdP.
(I) Google Identity Platform is SAML identity provider. Okta is SAML service provider.
(II) Okta is SAML identity provider. Web application (such as Office 365, Salesforce, Dropbox, Box, etc.) is SAML service provider.
(2) A user can log in to a web application via Okta by using the credential of the third party SAML identity provider of Okta.
I have validated the following user identity federation procedure for Salesforce (a web application) from the web application perspective:
(I) A user accesses their Salesforce organization domain (such as https://example.my.salesforce.com/)
(II) Select Log In with a Different Provider > Okta with Google Identity Platform
(III) The user is redirected to Google Identity Platform via Okta
(IV) The user submits their Google G Suite username/password credential (e.g., winston.hong#example.com )
(V) The user is redirected back by Google Identity Platform and Okta, and then is logged in to their Salesforce account successfully.
Note that the user's username for Google Identity Platform, Okta account and Salesforce account is the same, i.e., winston.hong#example.com for their organization example.com
Question:
However, in order to create the Okta integration, (and allow the user to click the application and be taken to the website) you need to provide the ACS(assertion consumer service), which in this case would be https://my-app-12345.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler however when this is posted to, and a SAML response received, there is no way to redirect to our web page. Is there a way to use the SAML Provider's ACS directly, but still return the result to a JS web page?
Answer:
(1) As a SAML identity provider, Okta supports both SAML SP-Initiated flow and SAML IdP-Initiated flow.
As a SAML service provider, Salesforce supports SAML SP-Initiated flow.
(2) In order to create the Okta integration and allow the user to click the application and be taken to the website (such as Salesforce organization domain https://example.my.salesforce.com/), you do NOT need to provide the ACS (assertion consumer service) URL, Instead, you need to provide the organization domain of Salesforce, i.e.,
Application label Salesforce.com
Instance Type Production
Custom Domain example
(3) A user can log in to a web application via Okta by using the credential of the third party SAML identity provider of Okta.
I have validated the following user identity federation procedure for Salesforce (a web application) from the Okta perspective (This is your use case):
(I) A user accesses their Okta organization domain (such as https://example.okta.com/)
(II) Click Need help signing in? and then click Log in with Google
(III) The user is redirected to Google Identity Platform
(IV) The user submits their Google G Suite username/password credential (e.g., winston.hong#example.com )
(V) The user is redirected back and then is logged in to their Okta account successfully
(VI) On their Okta home screen, the user click Salesforce application icon
(VII) The user is redirected to their Salesforce organization domain, and then is logged in to their Salesforce account successfully.
Issue:
Quote "however when this is posted to, and a SAML response received, there is no way to redirect to our web page. Is there a way to use the SAML Provider's ACS directly, but still return the result to a JS web page?"
Resolution:
(1) This is exactly SAML SP ACS issue of your web application https://my-app-12345.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler.
(2) You have to either modify the SAML SP configuration of your web application or modify the SAML SP source code of your web application, because the SAML SP ACS endpoint of your web application does NOT redirect to your web application page after verifying SAML signature sent by Okta SAML IdP.
(3) I have validated the following user identity federation procedure for Shibboleth SAML SP demo application (a web application parallel to your web application) from the Okta perspective (This is your use case):
(I) A user accesses their Okta organization domain (such as https://example.okta.com/)
(II) Click Need help signing in? and then click Log in with Google
(III) The user is redirected to Google Identity Platform
(IV) The user submits their Google G Suite username/password credential (e.g., winston.hong#example.com )
(V) The user is redirected back and then is logged in to their Okta account successfully
(VI) On their Okta home screen, the user click Shibboleth SAML SP demo application icon
(VII) The user is redirected to Shibboleth SAML SP demo application, and then is logged in to their Shibboleth SAML SP demo application successfully.
(4) The configuration of a general SAML SP application through Okta Admin GUI
Shibboleth SAML SP demo application (parallel to your web application my-app-12345.firebaseapp.com)
Applications > Shibboleth SAML SP demo > SAML Settings
Single Sign On URL https://samlsp.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST
Recipient URL https://samlsp.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST
Destination URL https://samlsp.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST
Audience Restriction https://samlsp.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata
Note that Single Sign On URL is ACS URL of SAML SP of your web application.
(5) How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container at GitHub repository provides the instruction on building your own IDP for SAML in Java using Shibboleth SAML IdP and OpenLDAP.
Shibboleth SAML IdP is responsible for identity federation.
OpenLDAP is responsible for identity authentication.
(I) I have validated SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) provided by Docker-running Shibboleth SAML IdP (Identity Provider) and OpenLDAP for the following enterprise applications. In other words, I leveraged Docker-running Shibboleth SAML IdP and OpenLDAP to log in to the following enterprise applications successfully.
Microsoft Office 365
Google G Suite
Salesforce
Dropbox
Box
Amazon AWS
OpenStack
Citrix NetScaler
VMware vCloud Director
Oracle NetSuite
(II) I have also leveraged Docker-running Shibboleth SAML IdP and OpenLDAP to log in to Salesforce and Shibboleth SAML SP demo application via Okta successfully.
Shibboleth SAML IdP is SAML identity provider (parallel to Google Identity Platform), Okta is SAML service provider.
Okta is SAML identity provider. Web application (such as Salesforce and Shibboleth SAML SP application) is SAML service provider.
(III) For your convenience, I have made the 11th commit to upload the Okta SP metadata and corresponding SAML configuration to How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container.
Note that I have logged in to Salesforce organization "example.com" account (https://example.my.salesforce.com) with username "winston.hong#example.com" successfully via Okta by using Shibboleth IdP running with Docker Container.
(IV) How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container provides the SAML SP configuration for SAML SP demo application.
Is SAML an authentication mechansim. ? I have seen this being written in many places.
As per my understanding SAML is not an authentication mechanism but a way to exchange authentication and authorization data between a service provider and an identity provider. ?
Both Service provider and identity provider have to be SAML compliant or basically understand SAML to take part.
Authentication can be done by any means like oAuth, Form etc. and then SAML exchange happens.

Actually SAML is a internet standards based technology to achieve web-based single on.
The actual authentication, which happens at the SAML IdP is out of scope of the specification.
However sometimes implementors do no accurately distinguish between SSO and authentication.
Chapter 1 from SAML Technical Overview, a document published in 2008 and still a good read:
The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard defines a
framework for exchanging security information between online business
partners.
...and then Chapter 4 in the same doc
SAML consists of building-block components that, when put together,
allow a number of use cases to be supported. The components
primarily permit transfer of identity, authentication, attribute, and
authorization information between autonomous organizations that have
an established trust relationship
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an identity federation protocol.
(1) Traditionally a web application utilizes a local data storage (such as MySQL which is used to store username/password credentials) to accomplish the login authentication.
On the other hand, a web application can leverage a third-party SAML Identity Provider (IdP) to accomplish the login authentication if the web application has been integrated with a SAML Service Provider (SP).
(2) Usually a SAML IdP utilizes identity repository (such as OpenLDAP) to provide identity authentication for a SAML SP-enabled web application.
(3) A web application, which has been integrated with a SAML SP, outsources login authentication to a SAML IdP.
Without loss of generality, we assume that the SAML IdP has been configured with OpenLDAP.
A typical SAMP SP-intitiated authentication procedure can be described below.
(I) A user launches a web browser to access a SAML SP-enabled web application.
(II) The user is redirected to a SAML IdP which will prompt username/password login screen.
SAML SP sends a SAML request to SAML IdP.
(III) The user submits the username/password credential.
(IV) The SAML IdP leverages OpenLDAP to validate the username/password credential.
(V) The user is redirected back and logged in to the web application if the user has been authenticated by OpenLDAP successfully.
SAML IdP sends a SAML response token to federate the user identity (such as username) to SAML SP-enabled web application.
(4) How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container demonstrates how a SAML IdP utilizes OpenLDAP to provide identity authentication and then federates the user identity (such as username) to a SAML SP-enabled web application, thus accomplishing the login authentication for the web application.
I'm trying to authenticate users with the SAML protocol.
So far I have two applications in two different identity providers (Auth0 and OneLogin) to test. I also have my service provider.
What I'm trying to do is authenticate users without redirecting them to any Identity Provider login form.
Something like this:
The user tries to log in to my application (made in React)
My server provider receives the request made by the user and sends
the credentials (username and password) to an identity provider
using the SAML protocol.
The identity provider validates the credentials, if they are
correct, return a SAML assertion to my server provider; otherwise,
it will return an error.
Depends on the identity provider's response if the content is sent
to the user or not.
I know that it is not the intended use of SAML, but I want to know if there is a way to do it and how it will be possible.
Any help or advice will be well received, thank you.
That's not how SAML works and I'm not aware of any SAML identity providers that accept the user's name and password.
It is possible to include the user's name in the SAML authn request sent to the identity provider but there's no provision for including a password.
I think there are a number of security considerations if you were to prompt a user for their credentials for one web site (ie the identity provider) at a different web site (ie service provider).
Using SAML SSO, if the user isn't already authenticated at the identity provider, it will prompt the user to login.
I have web app which uses WIF/ADFS claim fo ruathentication, i have set up one adfs and AD for that.
Now my need is i want to redirect and levarage client specific ADFS & AD for authentication.
App->Local ADFS->Client-1 ADFS->client -1 AD
App->Local ADFS->Client-2 ADFS->client -2 AD
so i want to do configuration for that client specific redirection in my Local ADFS, is it possible?
If I understand correctly you'll have an ADFS Federation Provider (FP) Issuer in your organization and your clients will have an ADFS (or other) Identity Provider (IdP) Issuer on their side.
To do this you would setup 2 Claims Provider Trusts (CPT) in your ADFS, one for Client1 and another for Client2. When you start the new CPT wizard, you may be able to configure these using metadata provided by your clients ADFS (e.g. https://fs.client1.com/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml). Your clients will then also need to configure your organization as a Relying Party Trust (RPT) in their ADFS. If your metadata is available to them via a URL, they should be able to use the new RPT wizard in ADFS and configure their RPT for your organization with something like https://fs.myorg.com/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml. Then, claims rules should be configured in these RPT's at your clients for claims to send to your organization and your CPT's for your clients should be configured to process the received claims from the clients.
I have the following scenario:
Sharepoint 2010 with Claims based authentication web application.
ADFS 2.0 which has configured Claims provider trust to the ThinkTecture IdentityServer.
ThinkTecture IdentityServer which has configured ADFS 2.0 as a relying party.
Sharepoint 2010 has SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer configured pointing to ADFS 2.0.
Now when I'm loging to the Sharepoint, I'm redirected to the ADFS 2.0 Home Realm page, when I choose Identity Provider. Then I'm redirected to the ThinkTecture IdentityServer. Then I'm logged with my credentials from IdentityServer and I'm redirected back to the ADFS and then to the Sharepoint. The problem is, that sharepoint show error message. I'am adding log records from sharepoint:
Authenticated with login provider. Validating request security token.
Trusted login provider 'SAML2 Provider' is not sending configured input identity claim type 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress'
SPSecurityTokenService.Issue() failed: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The trusted login provider did not supply a token accepted by this farm.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityModel.SPSecurityTokenService.SPRequestInfo.ValidateTrustedLoginRequest()
Access Denied: Authentication is required.
I was find out, that the token returned from Identity Server to ADFS contains emailaddress claim, but the token returned from ADFS to SP does not. It is a strange, because I have ADFS configured to support emailaddress to pass through for all claims
(in Claims provider trust for identity server). Do I need to setup adfs somewhere else? I am newbie in adfs.
What I want to achieve is to forward my request through the ADFS to the IdentityProvider (in this case ThinkTecture IdentityServer) and to get back the token from IdentityProvider. ThinkTecture IdentityServer is only in my test environment in the real environment it will replaced by Oracle Identity Federation.
The target problem is to integrate Sharepoint 2010 with the Oracle Identity Federation. But the problem is, that the Sharepoint doesn't support SAML 2 protocol which OIF will provides as exclusive endpoint binding. So I'm trying to hack it with the ADFS (as a somethinkg like proxy) which will communicate with Sharepoint based on the SAML 1.1 on one side and with the OIF based on the SAML 2 on other side.
This is the following extract from IdP metadata:
<md:IDPSSODescriptor protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">...
So I have no option to use WS-Federation.
I will appreciate advise if this is a good way how to achieve the required behaviour.
thanks
So your path is SP -> ADFS -> IdentityServer?
The problem is that the email address is not being passed through. So you have to set up IdentityServer to generate the email address claim and you have to setup ADFS to pass through all claims. Then configure SP to accept email address as a claim (using the SP Powershell commands).
Add: You need to create pass through claim rules for the email claim in ADFS - both for the claims provider trust and the relying party trust.
OIF supports WS-Federation - refer ORACLE IDENTITY FEDERATION 11g R2 - so no problem to federate OIF with SP.
