I've been tasked with setting up an SSO solution against an Auth0 instance. Setting up AD as a source to login against was a snap, but I got stuck in the weeds on setting up active directory federation. It looks like federation will allow users to login to their machines using AD credentials and be already logged into other systems through Auth0:

Active Directory is pretty weedy, and I'm getting lost in the articles that I have found. Has anyone seen a good guide for setting up an active directory instance from scratch to do federation? I'll take anything at this point. I'd like to find a way to fully set up an azure VM with all the parts that I need to follow the Auth0 guide.
Thanks for any assistance.

I have installed wazuh manager server, with elasticsearch and kibana. I can access to kibana web with no-login for now. And now I want to set it to access wazuh with AD access for whole company.
It is possible to do that on free version or do I need to buy elastic?
AD should be set on Wazuh login, or to Kibana web login, or to elasticsearch?? I know there can be login set for all three apps, but I am strugle to find out, which one is for AD.
Thank you
Thanks for using Wazuh!
It is possible to integrate Active Directory with Elastic. You can find on how to configure it, here. It is configured for Elasticsearch.
I hope this answers your question.
Cheers
Is it possible to authenticate Dropbox account in real-time using Active Directory? I mean not only one-time directory sync that can go out of sync very quickly but to be able to authenticate users in Dropbox using Active Directory in real-time.
Thanks
While you cannot authenticate DropBox users directly against Active Directory, you could achieve what would look exactly like this to the end-user by federating between Active Directory to DropBox using ADFS, and create a rule in ADFS which basically says, if user exists in Active Directory, let him access DropBox account. This answer greatly simplifies the work and setup involved, but you get the idea. Here's the exact step-by-step to do this, including screenshots: How do I connect Dropbox to AD FS 3.0 for single sign-on (SSO)?
Is there a way to secure a Horizon app (with RethinkDB) using Windows Authentication (SSO) with an internal Active Directory?
I would like to be able to restrict access based on the Windows/Domain user and also load the AD profile info somehow in my single page web app?
The catch: Everything needs to run on premise. So no cloud or any external providers. Just the local company Active Directory and Windows environment.
Cheers
There's no built-in way to do that right now, but you could embed Horizon into a node app and handle the authentication yourself.
I installed a Kentico 9.0 website and everything worked fine. Then I tried to configure Windows Active Directory authentication using this documentation: https://docs.kentico.com/display/K8/Configuring+Windows+AD+authentication. However, when I open the URL, the login popped up, I used my working login credentials and the login pops up back constantly.
I changed back the web.config and saw the event log, and there was nothing logged about my numourous login attemps.
The documentation was straight forward, so I am guessing there is a permission issue in my environment. There is one little warning in the documentation but it doesn't say how to do it:
Prerequisite
For Windows authentication to work, the application must be able to access the following attributes of user objects in Active Directory (i.e. the attributes cannot be protected or confidential):
memberof
userAccountControl
My application is in a virtual server in a domain. And the Active Directory service is in different server in the domain. Does it mean I need to do something for my application's permission to AD? I am using NetworkServices application pool identity.
Thanks.
You (your laptop) have to be in company intranet and logged in to your laptop with your AD credentials. If you meet those conditions IE or Chrome should not even prompt you for credentials as they are already known, so browser just passes your AD account information to Kentico.
Once you see the prompt continuously there is something wrong with your setup. Make sure
you configured everything according to documentation (Kentico + IIS)
server/host is in domain
you're in intranet and logged in with AD creds
Usually how Active Directory authentication works is you need to pass it a AD Username and password that has access to read the users. I would check that user's permissions.
I'm struggling with my MVC5 webapp that is hosted on Azure. I need to secure it (of course) but I don't want to let the users create yet another account, with another password they can forget.
So I've looked into Azure Access Control (ACS). It looks nice, but the Identity Providers provided are very limited. I'm missing LinkedIn as an IP for example. Therefore a lot of users will have to create a new account with a company emailaddress. Facebook user typically use their private emailaddress.
So Azure Active Directory looks fine. You can federate with a local Active Directory. But after diving into it, it seems that you cannot create a tenant from you code. So the user must first do thing in the Azure portal, and that is confusing and I want to make things as easy as possible.
What do I need:
authentications of users without storing their password myself
creation of new users by code
be able to federate to a customer's Active Directory (on premise or Azure Active Directory)
user must be able to use whatever emailaddress they're using
Do you have good suggestions to accomplish this?
You can manage users in AAD using the Graph API.
Using DirSync or AADSync, you can propagate your on-premise users to AAD.
User will have to logon on-premise and again in the cloud but using the same credentials. (Same Sign On).
Adding ADFS to the mix gives you SSO. (Single Sign On).
Typically, only the corporate domain can be used for email address.
For other applications, look at: Azure Active Directory applications.
