Autonomous Identity 2022.11.11

Set Up Single Sign-On

Autonomous Identity supports single sign-on (SSO) using OpenID Connect (OIDC) JWT tokens. SSO lets you log in once and access multiple applications without the need to re-authenticate yourself. You can use any third-party identity provider (IdP) to connect to Autonomous Identity. In this example, we use ForgeRock Access Management (AM) as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) IdP for Autonomous Identity.

If you set up SSO-only, be aware that the following Autonomous Identity services are not deployed with this setting (Note: these services are supported by your SSO provider):

  • Self Service

  • Manage Identities

If you want to use these services and SSO, set up the authentication as "LocalAndSSO". With this setting, the Login page provides two authentication links: "Sign in using OpenID" and "Or sign in via email."

The following procedure requires a running instance of ForgeRock AM. For more information, refer to ForgeRock Access Management Quick Start Guide.

Set up SSO:
  1. First, set up your hostnames locally in /etc/hosts.

    35.189.75.99  autoid-ui.forgerock.com autoid-selfservice.forgerock.com
    35.246.65.234 openam.example.com
  2. Open a browser and point to http://openam.example.com:8080/openam. Log in with username: amadmin, password: cangetinam.

  3. On AM, go to Identities > Groups, and add the following groups:

    • AutoIdAdmin

    • AutoIdEntitlementOwner

    • AutoIdExecutive

    • AutoIdSupervisor

    • AutoIdUser

  4. Add the demo user to each group.

  5. Go back to the main AM Admin UI page. Click Configure OAuth Provider.

  6. Click Configure OpenID Connect, and then Create.

  7. Go to Applications > OAuth 2.0, and then click Add Client. Enter the following properties, specific to your deployment:

    Client ID:         <autoid>
    Client secret:     <password>
    Redirection URIs:  https://<autoi-ui>.<domain>/api/sso/finish
    Scope(s):          openid profile

    For example:

    Client ID:         autoid
    Client secret:     Welcome123
    Redirection URIs:  https://autoid-ui.forgerock.com/api/sso/finish
    Scope(s):          openid profile
  8. On the New Client page, go to to the Advanced tab, and enable Implied Consent. Next, change the Token Endpoint Authentication Method to client_secret_post.

  9. Edit the OIDC claims script to return roles (groups), so that AM can match the Autonomous Identity groups.

    "groups": { claim, identity -> [ "groups" : identity.getMemberships(IdType.GROUP).collect { group -> group.name }]}

    For more information about the OIDC claims script, refer to the ForgeRock Knowledge Base.

  10. The id_token returns the content that includes the group names.

    }
  11. You have successfully configured AM as an OIDC provider. Next, we set up Autonomous Identity.

  12. Change to the Autonomous Identity install directory on the deployer machine.

    $ cd ~/autoid-config/
  13. Open a text editor, and set the SSO parameters in the /autoid-config/vars.yml file. Make sure to change LDAP to SSO.

  14. On the Target machine, edit the /etc/hosts file, and add an entry for openam.example.com.

    35.134.60.234  openam.example.com
  15. On the Deployer machine, run deployer.sh to push the new configuration.

    $ deployer.sh run
  16. Test the connection now. Access https://autoid-ui.forgerock.com. The redirect should occur with the following:

    http://openam.example.com:8080/openam/XUI/?realm=%2F&goto=http%3A%2F%2Fopenam.example.com%3A8080%2Fopenam%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize%3Fresponse_type%3Dcode%26client_id%3Dautoid
