We want to configure ADFS 2.0 as SP and CA SiteMinder as IdP using SAML 2.0. In ADFS 2.0 we have a test application which is deployed using WIF.
We have configured both the things correctly. However, while testing the federation it gives 2 options of selecting the Identity provider correctly. However, after we enter the credentials we get internal server error as message.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pravin
There's this guide available on Technet that you might find useful.

For a 1 day project (call it a hackathon) we will be looking into replacing a custom built authentication and authorization system with one that we can buy.
After all, there are people who are better at this stuff than we are.
Non-cloud, hard requirement is on-premise installation possible
Can authenticate against Active Directory using LDAP
Can authenticate using SAML against ADFS
Management of users, roles etc without a directory is an option (most likely option to actually use during the hackathon)
Use open standards, SAML, OpenID, OAuth2
There are so many SAML-based products, but many are cloud-only, which unfortunately for us is not an option (reason: our products run on closed enterprise networks), so services like Okta are unfortunately not an option :(
The following list is quite complete, but doesn't give me any indication on how hard it is to install + get up and running in a few hours:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAML-based_products_and_services
Any suggestions for products to try?
My eye caught these ones:
miniOrange, Ping Identity, 10duke

I am using a Java stack for web apps.
How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container at GitHub repository provides the instruction on building a SAML-based Authentication/Authorization Provider using Shibboleth SAML IdP and OpenLDAP.
Shibboleth SAML IdP is responsible for identity federation.
OpenLDAP is responsible for identity authentication.
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
Another StackOverflow question Setting up a new Shibboleth IdP to work with an existing SAML SP discusses the SAML configuration between IdP and SP.
OpenLDAP is not OpenID Connect or OAuth 2.0
Have a look at identityserver4.
It's OpenID Connect / OAuth2 by design and it does have a plug-in SAML stack.
Or if you have a Windows server, use ADFS.
FOSS - Shibboleth or KeyCloak
The definition of 'closed' (network) might be interesting to examine. No access to outside at all, not on any port, noway/nohow? In that case, yes, you want an on-prem service. If there's gated access to outside, it's likely that many hosted identity services could work.
I am a beginner for saml authentication. I can understand the concepts and theme. But in real time, I do not know how to implement and code it.
What are all needed? How to code for the saml authentication? What technology needed? How many servers/websites needed? Which will be the service provider and identity provider. I do not know the procedure to code.
What are the prerequisites should i know?
I referred http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-tech-overview-2.0-cd-02.html#1.Introduction|outline. But it is quite confusing. I could not get a clear idea to implement for my own.
What are the series of instructions to implement SAML authentication
for my own sever/website?
Which will be the IDENTITY provider(Authorization server) and
SERVICE provider?
How websites put it in service provider(Resource server) and saml authentication given?
How credentials stored and token response generated in the identity
provider.
How to implement as a code and what are needed to create?
Please help me.. Thanks in advance...
You haven't specified the language but on the client side, you need a SAML stack.
Refer SAML : SAML connectivity / toolkit.
On the server side, you need an IDP.
This could be ADFS, shibboleth, identityserver or an IDaaS product like Auth0 or Okta.
I have an internal application hosted on AWS with https. I need help understanding how to implement SAML authentication to my web application. I am using Spring Boot for my backend and AngularJS for my front end. I am using ADFS as my IP. From what I gather, the following are the steps.
Get a https URL for your application
Create a basic ADFS trust.
Add the roles on ADFS
Get a metadata URL and enter it in your application.properties.
I am trying to implement SAML for the first time and have confused myself completely. Any thoughts shared would be greatly appreciated.
Your Spring Boot application needs to be a Service Provider (SP) that trusts your ADFS Identity Provider (IdP) and you ADFS IdP needs to trust your SP. This trust is usually done using the SAML2 metadata profile, i.e. the SP and IdP SAML2 metadata files.
You can either design your application as a 'standalone', i.e. no SAML ability and put something in front of it that understand SAML and blocks all requests until the IdP sends attributes. This is how the standard Shibboleth SP works but it needs Apache. The other option is to use the framework to plumb in the SAML capability such as Spring Security SAML
I have successfully configured a SAML 2.0 Identity provider in a separate Weblogic domain
We have an ADF application deployed in Weblogic in another domain with non-SAML form-based authentication (ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator is used to verify credentials)
I want to configure the second domain as a Service Provider (to enable the existing application to login with the Identity provider.
I did the folowing:
Configure a SAML 2.0 Identity Asserter
Enable the Service Provider in the federated services for the server
Add and enable the "service provider partners" and exchange metadata on both IDP and SP side
Configure the "redirect URI" on the SP side
Add the SAML 2.0 Authenticator (the documentation doesn't mention this, but some blogs do)
This should be enough to make the SSO work, but it doesn't.
opening the application doesn't trigger a redirect to the IDP (even when the URL is configured in the provider partner config)
after logging into the application, other applications still have to log in with the IDP (SSO doesn't work)
The "other application" is the Spring SAML sample application and I verified that SSO works with 2 different instances of that app (which means the IDP side should be configured correctly).
We've had some Oracle experts come over to our company to solve various issues.
In the end even they could't help with this and suggested that SAML support may not really work that well.
They suggested that we try to use Oracle Access Manager, that's supposed to support both OAUTH and SAML. We didn't get to that yet and maybe never will.
Still if you need SSO in Weblogic, you could give it a go.
The problem is I have an standard SAML 2.0 Web-Profile IDP (a customized Shibboleth) that I can authenticate to Google Apps, nicely, but Microsoft decided to embrace-and-extend again, with WIF, so it seems things doesn't work off-the-shelf to have web SSO (SingleSignOn) with Sharepoint.
At least all the documentation show only how to integrate with AD FS STSs, or how to write your own STS as the protocols around claims exchange aren't standard.
From the overviews it seems feasible to have my IDP being called (redirected to) and returning the SAML response as a forced post, as usual, but it seems hard to tell WIF to just process the simple response we serve.
Thanks,
ADFS v2.0 does support SAML 2.0.
If the SP STS doesn't support this, then simply add ADFS as a trusted provider to the SP STS.
I believe that ADFS 2010 only supports WS-Federation Passive Requester Profile -- ie, no SAML 2.0 Web SSO support.
SAML 2.0 Web Profile support is possible I believe but you'll need to use a 3rd Party product like PingFederate for SAML 2.0 support unless you want to write quite a bit of custom code.
Hope this helps -
