In our organisation we implemented support for OIDC and OAuth2 support recently and we used the node-oidc-provider library to support the same. This way our product acts as an IDP that support Open IDC. We were also able to integrate our product as an IDP into our organisations instance of okta for certain scenarios.
In the same way we are planning to support SAML2 implementation in our security product that currently only supports OIDC. Is this possible and if so is it worth implementing SAML support? One of the reason to support SAML is so that we can talk to snowflake where Azure AD will use our SAML IDP to authenticate users and then provide access to snowflake.
Or the other way is to use Okta as a SAML provider and talk to snowflake. The flow would be users connect to okta and then okta will redirect certain users with a certain domain to our IDP (Supporting Open IDC) and then once that succeeds okta will use SAML to talk to Azure AD which in turn will provide access to snowflake.
Please suggest a good way. If you say we can integrate SAML support also into our existing Open IDC supported IDP what is the best library to use for nodejs.
Thanks

I am trying to integrate Salesforce with AAD, so I see two available options, either Saml or OpenId Connect.. I do not know which one is better, but I prefer OpenId Connect since it seems to be more modern. So I tried to register Salesforce App in AAD and Saml was the default options, so why is Saml the default option ?! is it better or what? Please note that I am building an API and I need to allow authentication and authorization with Single Sign On.
The Azure AD app gallery contains many popular applications that are already pre-configured to work with Azure AD as an identity provider. These applications will be available in the Enterprise applications and have SAML to perform SSO. Any application which is added directly from the Gallery the default method is SAML based SSO , password based SSO etc.. which depends upon the applications.
Kindly check the difference between the App Registration and Gallery application in Azure portal from the link
In order to get more detailed explanation about SSO types and protocols kindly check the document to get more detailed explanation.
If you have any further queries kindly let me know.
I have to use Azure Active Directory for authentication to my web application.
In my company it was suggested to use SAML instead of oauth and I am very new to SAML.
Question:
Is the purpose of SAML is only to authenticate or there is any more functionality?
There are documents to use SAML in enterprise application. So,How to implement saml from app registration?
SAML SSO is a form of delegated authentication. The user is authenticated at the identity provider site (eg Azure AD) which sends a SAML assertion containing user identity information to the service provider site. The service provider trusts this information and establishes a local authentication session for the user using the information contained in the SAML assertion. SAML assertions often contain the user's email address but any user identity information may be included. This is the primary use case for SAML and in many instances the only one supported.
Most platforms have SAML libraries etc available. It's strongly recommended you use one of these rather than trying to implement SAML yourself.
Azure AD B2B has a preconfigured Google integration and the ability add external Idp. Has any one configured it with Okta?.
Looking for guidance - What do we need from Okta to get the meta data etc.
Tried the Google B2b integration and it works. But stuck trying to create external SAML provider for integration with Okta. Are there any step by step guidance or instructions to get the info from Okta to enable this?
Here is the generic documentation on the preview feature. That is a starting point for your endeavor.
Using this documentation (and respective OKTA one - probably this one) you should be able to configure OKTA as a SAML IdP for Azure AD Direct Federation feature.
Important terms in that setup: OKTA will be the SAMP IdP (Identity Provider) while Azure AD will be SAML SP (Service Provider).
There is nothing more concrete about integrating OKTA as IdP for direct federation. Also please note that this feature is in preview in AAD.
I am working on a project where we are planning to use SAML 2.0 to send authentication requests to OpenLDAP. Can someone please tell me if its supported or not? I am not able to get the clear answer via Google.
SAML and LDAP are completely different things. SAML is mostly used for Web-based SSO. The identity provider (IdP) part of the access manager software/system you're using (i.e., the one that implements SAML authentication authority) may use a back-end LDAP server (e.g., OpenLDAP) for authenticating users.
I am using a SaaS application and I want to use our own LDAP to Login to that 3rd party application. I want to provide a link to that application in my Portal. Both the applications are hosted in Cloud and are Spring based.
Please let me know where to Start and how to go about implementing SP initiated SAML.
Thanks!
First of all you need a SAML IDP that authenticates against LDAP e.g. shibboleth.
Then you need a client side SAML stack.
Refer: SAML : SAML connectivity / toolkit.
You could also look at IDaaS e.g. Auth0 or Okta.
