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.

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.
We have an application for which we would like to enable users to login into our application with their own Identity Providers like Google, ADFS etc with SAML 2.0 as protocol.
In this context our application will be SP and Identity Providers will be Google, ADFS.
But currently we don't have SAML implementation at our application, so we would like to use some platform like OneLogin/Okta/Auth0 as middle proxy between our application and IdP so that SAML related handling can be done at OneLogin/Okta/Auth0 and we need to get callback to our application with user details after success login.
Is this possible with any SASS based SAML providers? and how to do it.
Thanks in advance
Yes - connect to Auth0 / Okta via OpenID Connect and then connect the IDP to other IDP via SAML.
So in this context, Auth0 / Okta is a SAML SP.
Have a look here.
I am working on a webapp, the Front-end is implemented in AngularJS which talks to back-end server by invoking REST API. The back-end is Java REST Server implemented using reslet framework deployed in Jetty.
Currently, when a user logs into a web app, a REST API is invoked which then goes to the Java REST server. The server then authenticates the user.
I want to implement SSO using SAML. So when a corporate user tries to login to the app, the user must be redirected to ADFS. If the user is successfully authenticated he must be allowed to login to the app.
I want to know how do I start? I have seen sam2-js library, however it seems to be for NodeJS based server. I am not quite sure if it can be used with AngularJS on frontend.
SSO with SAML involves browser redirects so the flow is between angular and ADFS.
There's no Java backend.
So Jetty is irrelevant.
SSO has nothing to do with REST. They are two different flows handled in two different ways.
SAML is not a suitable SSO protocol for angular. That's why you can't find any examples.
You need to use OpenID Connect with ADFS 4.0. ADAL is the way to go.
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.
