Act As a SAML 2.0 Service Provider

The following sections describe IG’s role as a SAML 2.0 service provider, and give an example of how to set up IG, with AM as an identity provider:

For information about how to set up multiple service providers, see SAML 2.0 and Multiple Applications.

About SAML 2.0 SSO and Federation

The IG federation component implements SAML 2.0, to validate users and log them in to protected applications.

The SAML 2.0 standard describes the messages that providers exchange, and how they exchange them. SAML 2.0 enables web single sign-on (SSO), for example, where the service managing the user’s identity does not belong to the same organization and does not use the same software as the service that the user wants to access.

The following terms are used in SAML and federation:

Identity Provider (IDP): The service that manages the user identity.
Service Provider (SP): The service that a user wants to access. IG acts as a SAML 2.0 SP for SSO, providing users with an interface to applications that don’t support SAML 2.0.
Circle of trust (CoT): An IDP and SP that participate in the federation.

When an IDP and an SP participate in a federation, they agree on what security information to exchange, and mutually configure access to each other’s services.

After an IDP authenticates a user, it provides the SP with SAML assertions that attest to which user is authenticated, when the authentication succeeded, how long the assertion is valid, and so on. The SP uses the SAML assertions to make authorization decisions, for example, to let an authenticated user complete a purchase that gets charged to the user’s account at the IDP.

The IDP and SP usually communicate about a user identified by a name identifier. In SP-initiated SSO and IDP-initiated SSO, the NameID format can be any format supported by the IDP. For more information, see Use a Non-Transient NameID Format.

SAML assertions can be signed and encrypted. ForgeRock recommends using *SHA-256 variants (rsa-sha256 or ecdsa-sha256).

SAML assertions can contain configurable attribute values, such as user meta-information or anything else provided by the IDP. The attributes of a SAML assertion can contain one or more values, made available as a list of strings. Even if an attribute contains a single value, it is made available as a list of strings.

About SP-Initiated SSO

SP-initiated SSO occurs when a user attempts to access a protected application directly through the SP. Because the user’s federated identity is managed by the IDP, the SP sends a SAML authentication request to the IDP. After the IDP authenticates the user, it provides the SP with a SAML assertion for the user.

The following sequence diagram shows the flow of information in SP-initiated SSO, when IG acts as a SAML 2.0 SP:

About IDP-Initiated SSO

IDP-initiated SSO occurs when a user attempts to access a protected application, using the IDP for authentication. The IDP sends an unsolicited authentication statement to the SP.

Before IDP-initiated SSO can occur:

The user must access a link on the IDP that refers to the remote SP.
The user must authenticate to the IDP.
The IDP must be configured with links that refer to the SP.

The following sequence diagram shows the flow of information in IDP-initiated SSO when IG acts as a SAML 2.0 SP:

Set Up Federation With Unsigned/Unencrypted Assertions

For examples of the federation configuration files, see Example Fedlet Files. To set up multiple SPs, work through this section, and then SAML 2.0 and Multiple Applications.

Set up the network:

Add sp.example.com to your /etc/hosts file:
```
127.0.0.1 localhost openam.example.com ig.example.com app.example.com sp.example.com
```
Traffic to the application is proxied through IG, using the host name sp.example.com.

Configure a Java Fedlet:

The SAML library component validates the SP’s AssertionConsumerService Location against the incoming IDP SAML Assertion, based on the request information, including the port. In sp.xml, always specify the port in the Location value of AssertionConsumerService, even when using defaults of 443 or 80, as follows:

<AssertionConsumerService isDefault="true"
                          index="0"
                          Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
                          Location="https://sp.example.com:443/fedletapplication" />

For more information about Java Fedlets, see Creating and Configuring the Fedlet in AM’s SAML v2.0 Guide.

Copy and unzip the fedlet zip file, Fedlet-7.1.0.zip, delivered with the AM installation, into a local directory.

```
By default, AM as an IDP uses the NameID format urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient to communicate about a user. For information about using a different NameID format, see Use a Non-Transient NameID Format.

Set up AM:
1. Select Identities, select the user demo, and change the last name to Ch4ng31t. Note that, for this example, the last name must be the same as the password.
2. Select Applications > Federation > Circles of Trust, and add a circle of trust called Circle of Trust, with the default settings.
3. Set up a remote service provider:
  1. Select Applications > Federation > Entity Providers, and add a remote entity provider.
  2. Drag in or import sp.xml created in the previous step.
  3. Select Circles of Trust: Circle of Trust
4. Set up a hosted identity provider:
  1. Select Applications > Federation > Entity Providers, and add a hosted entity provider with the following values:
    
    Entity ID : openam
    
    Entity Provider Base URL : http://openam.example.com:8088/openam
    
    Identity Provider Meta Alias : idp
    
    Circles of Trust : Circle of Trust
  2. Select Assertion Processing > Attribute Mapper, map the following SAML attribute keys and values, and then save your changes:
    
    SAML Attribute: cn, Local Attribute: cn
    
    SAML Attribute: sn, Local Attribute: sn
  3. In a terminal, export the XML-based metadata for the IDP:
    
    $ curl -v \ --output idp.xml \ "http://openam.example.com:8088/openam/saml2/jsp/exportmetadata.jsp?entityid=openam"
    
    The idp.xml file is created locally.

Set up IG:

Copy the edited fedlet files, and the exported idp.xml file into the IG configuration, at $HOME/.openig/SAML.

$ ls -l $HOME/.openig/SAML

FederationConfig.properties
fedlet.cot
idp-extended.xml
idp.xml
sp-extended.xml
sp.xml

In config.json, comment out or remove the baseURI:
```
{
  "handler": {
    "_baseURI": "http://app.example.com:8081",
    ...
  }
}
```
Requests to the SamlFederationHandler must not be rebased, because the request URI must match the endpoint in the SAML metadata.

Add the following route to IG, to serve .css and other static resources for the sample application:

Linux
Windows

$HOME/.openig/config/routes/static-resources.json

appdata\OpenIG\config\routes\static-resources.json

{
  "name" : "sampleapp-resources",
  "baseURI" : "http://app.example.com:8081",
  "condition": "${find(request.uri.path,'^/css')}",
  "handler": "ReverseProxyHandler"
}

Add the following route to IG:
- Linux
- Windows
$HOME/.openig/config/routes/saml.json
appdata\OpenIG\config\routes\saml.json
```
{
  "name": "saml",
  "condition": "${find(request.uri.path, '^/saml')}",
  "session": "JwtSession",
  "handler": {
    "type": "SamlFederationHandler",
    "config": {
      "useOriginalUri": true,
      "assertionMapping": {
        "username": "cn",
        "password": "sn"
      },
      "subjectMapping": "sp-subject-name",
      "redirectURI": "/home/federate"
    }
  }
}
```
Notice the following features of the route:
- The route matches requests to /saml.
- After authentication, the SamlFederationHandler extracts cn and sn from the SAML assertion, and maps them to the SessionContext, at session.username and session.password.
- The handler stores the subject name as a string in the session field session.sp-subject-name, which is named by the subjectMapping property. By default, the subject name is stored in the session field session.subjectName.
- The handler redirects the request to the /federate route.
- The route uses the JwtSession implementation, meaning it stores encrypted session information in a browser cookie. The name is a reference to the JwtSession object defined in config.json. For details, see JwtSession.

Add the following route to IG:

Linux
Windows

$HOME/.openig/config/routes/federate.json

appdata\OpenIG\config\routes\federate.json

{
  "name": "federate",
  "condition": "${find(request.uri.path, '^/home/federate')}",
  "session": "JwtSession",
  "baseURI": "http://app.example.com:8081",
  "handler": {
    "type": "DispatchHandler",
    "config": {
      "bindings": [
        {
          "condition": "${empty session.username}",
          "handler": {
            "type": "StaticResponseHandler",
            "config": {
              "status": 302,
              "reason": "Found",
              "headers": {
                "Location": [
                  "http://sp.example.com:8080/saml/SPInitiatedSSO?metaAlias=/sp"
                ]
              }
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "handler": {
            "type": "Chain",
            "config": {
              "filters": [
                {
                  "type": "HeaderFilter",
                  "config": {
                    "messageType": "REQUEST",
                    "add": {
                      "x-username": ["${session.username[0]}"],
                      "x-password": ["${session.password[0]}"]
                    }
                  }
                }
              ],
              "handler": "ReverseProxyHandler"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Notice the following features of the route:

The route matches requests to /home/federate.
If the user is not authenticated with AM, the username is not populated in the context. The DispatchHandler then dispatches the request to the StaticResponseHandler, which redirects it to the SP-initiated SSO endpoint.

If the credentials are in the context, or after successful authentication, the DispatchHandler dispatches the request to the Chain.
The HeaderFilter adds headers for the first value for the username and password attributes of the SAML assertion.
The route uses the JwtSession implementation, meaning it stores encrypted session information in a browser cookie. The name is a reference to the JwtSession object defined in config.json. For details, see JwtSession.

Restart IG.

Test the setup:
1. Log out of AM, and test the setup with the following links:
  - IDP-initiated SSO
  - SP-initiated SSO
2. Log in to AM with username demo and password Ch4ng31t.
  
  IG returns the response page showing that the the demo user has logged in.

For more control over the URL where the user agent is redirected, use the RelayState query string parameter in the URL of the redirect Location header. RelayState specifies where to redirect the user when the SAML 2.0 web browser SSO process is complete. It overrides the redirectURI set in the SamlFederationHandler.

The RelayState value must be URL-encoded. When using an expression, use a function to encode the value. For example, use ${urlEncodeQueryParameterNameOrValue(contexts.router.originalUri)}.

In the following example, the user is finally redirected to the original URI from the request:

"headers": {
  "Location": [
    "http://openig.example.com:8080/saml/SPInitiatedSSO?RelayState=${urlEncodeQueryParameterNameOrValue(contexts.router.originalUri)}"
  ]
}

Set Up Federation With Signed/Encrypted Assertions

Set up the example in Set Up Federation With Unsigned/Unencrypted Assertions.

Set up the SAML keystore:

Find the values of AM’s default SAML keypass and storepass:

$ more /path/to/am/security/secrets/default/.keypass
$ more /path/to/am/security/secrets/default/.storepass

Copy the SAML keystore from the AM configuration to IG:

$ cp /path/to/am/security/keystores/keystore.jceks /path/to/ig/keystore.jceks

Configure the Fedlet in IG:
1. In FederationConfig.properties, make the following changes:
  1. Delete the following lines:
    
    com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.keystore=%BASE_DIR%/security/keystores/keystore.jks
    
    com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.storepass=%BASE_DIR%/.storepass
    
    com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.keypass=%BASE_DIR%/.keypass
    
    com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.certalias=test
    
    com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.storetype=JKS
    
    am.encryption.pwd=@AM_ENC_PWD@
  2. Add the following line:
    
    org.forgerock.openam.saml2.credential.resolver.class=org.forgerock.openig.handler.saml.SecretsSaml2CredentialResolver
    
    This class is responsible for resolving secrets and supplying credentials.
2. In sp.xml, make the following changes:
  1. Change AuthnRequestsSigned="false" to AuthnRequestsSigned="true".
  2. Add the following KeyDescriptor just before </SPSSODescriptor>
    
    <KeyDescriptor use="signing"> <ds:KeyInfo xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" > <ds:X509Data> <ds:X509Certificate> </ds:X509Certificate> </ds:X509Data> </ds:KeyInfo> </KeyDescriptor> </SPSSODescriptor>
  3. Copy the value of the signing certificate from idp.xml to this file:
    
    <KeyDescriptor use="signing"> <ds:KeyInfo> <ds:X509Data> <ds:X509Certificate> MII...zA6 </ds:X509Certificate>
    
    This is the public key used for signing so that the IDP can verify request signatures.
Replace the remote service provider in AM:
1. Select Applications > Federation > Entity Providers, and remove the sp entity provider.
2. Drag in or import the new sp.xml updated in the previous step.
3. Select Circles of Trust: Circle of Trust.

Set up IG:

In the IG configuration, set environment variables for the following secrets, and then restart IG:

$ export KEYSTORE_SECRET_ID='a2V5c3RvcmU='
$ export SAML_KEYSTORE_STOREPASS_SECRET_ID='<base64-encoded value of the SAML storepass>'
$ export SAML_KEYSTORE_KEYPASS_SECRET_ID='<base64-encoded value of the SAML keypass>'

The passwords are retrieved by the default SystemAndEnvSecretStore, and must be base64-encoded.

Remove saml.json from the configuration, and add the following route, replacing the path to keystore.jceks with your path:

Linux
Windows

$HOME/.openig/config/routes/saml-secure.json

appdata\OpenIG\config\routes\saml-secure.json

{
  "name": "saml-secure",
  "condition": "${find(request.uri.path, '^/saml')}",
  "session": "JwtSession",
  "heap": [
    {
      "name": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore-1",
      "type": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore"
    },
    {
      "name": "KeyStoreSecretStore-1",
      "type" : "KeyStoreSecretStore",
      "config" : {
        "file" : "/path/to/ig/keystore.jceks",
        "storeType" : "jceks",
        "storePassword" : "saml.keystore.storepass.secret.id",
        "keyEntryPassword" : "saml.keystore.keypass.secret.id",
        "secretsProvider" : "SystemAndEnvSecretStore-1",
        "mappings" : [ {
          "secretId" : "sp.signing.sp",
          "aliases" : [ "rsajwtsigningkey" ]
        }, {
          "secretId" : "sp.decryption.sp",
          "aliases" : [ "test" ]
        } ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "handler": {
    "type": "SamlFederationHandler",
    "config": {
      "useOriginalUri": true,
      "assertionMapping": {
        "username": "cn",
        "password": "sn"
      },
      "subjectMapping": "sp-subject-name",
      "redirectURI": "/home/federate",
      "secretsProvider" : "KeyStoreSecretStore-1"
    }
  }
}

Notice the following features of the route compared to saml.json:

The SamlFederationHandler refers to the KeyStoreSecretStore to provide the keys for the signed and encrypted SAML assertions.
The secret IDs, sp.signing.sp and sp.decryption.sp, follow a naming convention based on the name of the service provider, sp.
The alias for the signing key corresponds to the PEM in keystore.jceks.

Restart IG.

Test the setup:
1. Log out of AM, and test the setup with the following links:
  - IDP-initiated SSO
  - SP-initiated SSO
2. Log in to AM with username demo and password Ch4ng31t.
  
  IG returns the response page showing that the the demo user has logged in.

Use a Non-Transient NameID Format

By default, AM as an IDP uses the NameID format urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient. For more information, see Hosted Identity Provider Configuration Properties in AM’s SAML v2.0 Guide.

When the IDP uses another NameID format, configure IG to use that NameID format by editing the Fedlet configuration file sp-extended.xml:

To use the NameID value provided by the IDP, add the following attribute:

<Attribute name="useNameIDAsSPUserID">
  <Value>true</Value>
</Attribute>

To use an attribute from the assertion, add the following attribute:

<Attribute name="autofedEnabled">
  <Value>true</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute name="autofedAttribute">
  <Value>sn</Value>
</Attribute>

This example uses the value in SN to identify the subject.

Although IG supports the persistent NameID format, IG does not store the mapping. To configure this behavior, edit the file sp-extended.xml:

To disable attempts to persist the user mapping, add the following attribute:

<Attribute name="spDoNotWriteFederationInfo">
  <Value>true</Value>
</Attribute>

To enable attempts to persist the user mapping, add the following attribute:

<Attribute name="spDoNotWriteFederationInfo">
  <Value>false</Value>
</Attribute>

If a login request doesn’t contain a NameID format query parameter, the value is defined by the presence and content of the NameID format list for the SP and IDP. For example, an SP-initiated login can be constructed with the binding and NameIDFormat as a parameter, as follows:

http://fedlet.example.org:7070/fedlet/SPInitiatedSSO?binding=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST&NameIDFormat=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified

When the NameID format is provided in a list, it is resolved as follows:

If both the IDP and SP have a list, the first matching NameID format in the lists.
If either the IDP or SP list is empty, the first NameID format in the other list.
If neither the IDP nor SP has a list, then AM defaults to transient, and IG defaults to persistent.

The SAML library component validates the SP’s AssertionConsumerService Location against the incoming IDP SAML Assertion, based on the request information, including the port. Always specify the port in the Location value of AssertionConsumerService, even when using defaults of 443 or 80, as follows:

<AssertionConsumerService isDefault="true"
                          index="0"
                          Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
                          Location="https://sp.example.com:443/fedletapplication" />
