Example: Using Microsoft Active Directory in Azure as a SAML Identity Provider

Example: Using Microsoft Active Directory in Azure as a SAML Identity Provider

When you use Active Directory in Azure as a SAML Identity Provider (IdP), some additional steps are required. This topic describes the process of configuring SAML with Active Directory as an IdP.

1.
Ensure that your IdP has valid identity information for logging you in to the appliance.
2.
Complete the following steps:
a.
Enable SSL for the appliance. This step is required because Microsoft Azure can successfully communicate only with SSL clients. For instructions, see Configure security settings for the appliance.
b.
Log in to https://portal.azure.com and select Azure Active Directory.
c.
Under App Registrations, create a new registration, leaving the Redirect URI settings cleared.
d.
In the newly created App Registration, on the Endpoints page, copy the contents of the Federation metadata document field.
3.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
4.
Go the SAML Settings page:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click SAML Configuration.
b.
On the SAML Settings page, under Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), select the Enable SAML Service Provider check box.
5.
In the Remote Identity Provider (IdP) Settings section, specify your IdP metadata to authenticate users by completing the following steps.
a.
Click Get Metadata From IdP.
b.
In the IdP Metadata URL field that appears, enter the contents from the Federation metadata document field that you recorded in 2.d, and click Import IdP Metadata.
The Remote Identity Provider (IdP) Settings section refreshes, showing the details of your IdP configuration. The listed options specify the appliance page redirects during SAML authentication. For more information, visit https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=security.
* 
NOTE: To review this information anytime during your SAML configuration, click View Metadata in this section.
6.
In the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) section, ensure the IdP Does Not Support Passive Authentication check box is selected.
7.
In the IdP Attribute Mappings section, select the option that you want to use to grant the SAML user access to the appliance.
◦
Use Local User Table: Relies on the user list stored locally on the appliance.
◦
Use LDAP Lookup: Imports user information from an external LDAP server. For more information, see Using an LDAP server for user authentication.
◦
Select Use SAML, and set the following options:
◦
UID: http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/objectidentifier
◦
Login: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name
◦
Name: http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/displayname
◦
Primary Email: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name
8.
If you selected the Use SAML option, under Role Mapping, specify the following condition for the role that you want to grant to SAML-authenticated users (for example, the Administrator role):
http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/groups equals <Object ID>
Where <Object ID> is the object ID of the group.
9.
Optional. To view the appliance-specific SAML settings on the appliance, in the Local Service Provider (SP) Settings section, click View Metadata, and review the options that appear.
These fields contain default values and in most cases you do not need to make any changes.
10.
Complete the following steps:
a.
In the Local Service Provider (SP) Settings section, click View Metadata
b.
In the Microsoft Azure Portal, locate the newly created App Registration.
c.
On the App Registration page, click Add a Redirect URI.
d.
In the Redirect URIs section, select Web and set it to the SP Assertion Consumer Service (url) value from the SAML Settings page, under Local Service Provider (SP) Settings.
e.
In the Advanced settings, set the Logout URL field to the SP SLO Endpoint (url) value from the Local Service Provider (SP) Settings section.
f.
In Azure, click Expose an API, and click Set next to Application ID URI. Set this field to the SP Entity Identifier (uri) value from the Local Service Provider (SP) Settings section.
g.
In Azure, click Manifest, and in the editor that appears on the right, add or update the "groupMembershipClaims" attribute and set its value to "SecurityGroup" or "All".
For example: "groupMembershipClaims": "SecurityGroup",
11.
Click Save.
12.
Test your SAML configuration.
a.
Log out of the appliance.
b.
Ensure you are logged in to your IdP account.
c.
Open the Administrator Console or User Console Welcome page.
d.
Without specifying your user credentials, click Login.
* 
TIP: When SAML is enabled on the appliance, click Local Sign On, and specify your user credentials.
The Administrator Console or User Console page appears.

Reviewing user sessions

Reviewing user sessions

Install and configure the location database
View a list of user sessions

The appliance keeps track of user sessions. You can review a list of the most recent sessions, or see all sessions for the appliance.

To allow the appliance to display the location associated with the logged-in user's public IP address, you must install a location database. See Install and configure the location database.

You can see all sessions on the Recent Sessions page. For a quick list of the latest sessions associated with your user account, use the My Recent Sessions pane. See View a list of user sessions.

Install and configure the location database

Install and configure the location database

User session details include the IP address of the currently logged-in user. This information is displayed on the Recent Sessions page. For public IP addresses you can also display the geographical location associated with a specific IP address, however this requires a location database to be installed on the appliance. You can install the MaxMind Geolocation database free of charge and display user locations for any public IP address.

MaxMind offers country and city databases. A city database is typically larger in size and takes longer to install. A country database provides only the name of the country associated with each public IP address, while a city database allows the appliance to display the city, state (if applicable), and the country.

You can periodically refresh the location database by installing an updated version. While it is possible to install multiple databases over time, the most recently installed database overwrites the contents of the previous version. For example, if a country database is already installed, and you install a city database on the appliance, the Location column on the Recent Sessions page reflects the information from the newly installed city database.

For complete information about MaxMind Geolocation databases, visit https://www.maxmind.com/.

* 
NOTE: Locations cannot be displayed when a private IP address is used to access the appliance.
1.
Download a location database from https://www.maxmind.com/.
* 
NOTE: To download a database file from MaxMind, start by creating a user profile. You must download a file that uses the MMDB format, not a CSV file.
2.
Do one of the following:
◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, then select Settings > Control Panel.
◦
If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings > Control Panel.
3.
On the General Settings page that appears, in the Geolocation Lookup Database section, point to the downloaded ZIP file.
To do that, under MaxMind Geolocation Database, click Choose file and navigate to the newly downloaded file.
4.
Click Save.
It may take a few minutes for the database installation to complete, depending on the type of database being installed. When the installation is complete, the Database Type and Database Version fields provide the relevant details.
* 
NOTE: A city database typically takes longer to install and update than a country database due to its file size.

Next, you can go to the Recent Sessions page and review the location data for the current user. See View a list of user sessions.

You can review user sessions on the appliance. Use the My Recent Sessions pane to see the latest sessions associated with your account. You can also review all sessions that are currently active on the appliance on the Recent Sessions page.

In case the appliance detects multiple sessions for the current user, the icon displays a red exclamation point.

1.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
2.
In the top-right corner, click the Recent Sessions icon.
* 
NOTE: If there are multiple active sessions associated with your user account, an exclamation mark appears on the Recent Sessions icon.
3.
In the My Recent Sessions pane that appears, review the list of your latest user sessions.
Each entry identifies your browser, IP address, session duration, the date and time of the most recent activity, and any applicable actions.
* 
NOTE: You can delete duplicated sessions by clicking the Delete icon in the Actions column, as needed.
4.
To see all sessions that are currently active on the appliance, in the My Recent Sessions pane, click View All Recent Sessions.
On the Recent Sessions page that appears, each entry displays the user name, the browser used, the operating system, IP address, the session duration, the date and time of the last activity, and any applicable actions. For users with a public IP address, if you have a location database installed, it also shows their location. See Install and configure the location database.
