Comment: 2 notes added for Configure Client Certificate and LDAP profile + Configure Client Certificate Core Object profile

This article describes authentication profiles in Smart ID Identity Manager and how to configure them. Authentication profiles are used to define how users can gain access to Identity Manager and what they gain access to

Authentication is done in two steps:

  1. Authentication: login in with a certain user credential. The user will be extracted from the credential depending on the authentication type.
  2. Authorization: after successful authentication the assigned roles for the user are determined depending on the authentication type.

The following authentication profiles are available:

titlePrerequisites

The following prerequisites apply:

  • Install Identity Manager
  • You must have access to any required external systems, for example LDAP or SAML Identity provider (IDP).
  • For client certificate authentication, a working HTTPS configuration with client authentication on the Tomcat is required. See Configure https for Tomcat.
  • For SAML authentication, it is required to have an identity provider, such as Smart ID Digital Access component (Hybrid Access Gateway), with the correct configuration for Identity Manager authentication. For information and examples with Digital Access, see Enable two-factor authentication to Identity Manager clients via SAML federation.

  • Step-by-step instruction

  • Go to Home > Authentication Profiles.
  • Click +New to add an authentication profile.

    Select a Profile type:
    Image Removed

    Note

    The Internal profile is not available for selection, since it is created by default in any Identity Manager installation and only one internal profile is allowed.

  • For SAML profiles, the Priority will be assigned automatically.
  • Click Save + Edit.
    A new tab is displayed where the authentication profile is configured. See the following sections for how to configure the authentication profile you have selected.
  • For all authentication profiles there is a Processes tab. Select from the drop-down list, which process that shall run after a successful login in Identity Manager Operator. Read more in section Configure post-login process.
  • To edit an existing identity template, double-click on its name.
  • Configure profile types

    The configuration of authentication profiles differs according to the different profile types.

    Find your selected authentication profile type below and follow the instruction to set up the configuration.

    where

    ou = organizationalUnitName
    dc = domainComponent
    For more information on LDAP string attributes, see RFC 2253, LDAP (v3): UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names.
  • In Username and Password, enter the Active Directory domain user name and password. 
  • In User search:
  • Select Direct binding or With password comparison. Direct binding attempts to bind to the LDAP with the user entered. With password comparison the data of the LDAP entry is retrieved and the password is compared with the entered password.
  • Enter a Search pattern. Here are two examples:

    Panel
    titleExample: Search pattern

    Search pattern: (userPrincipalName={0})

    Panel
    titleExample: Search pattern using Distinguished Name (DN) of user

    Search pattern: cn={0},ou=users

  • If password comparison was selected, enter the Attribute for password used in LDAP and, if applicable, the mechanism that LDAP uses for Password encryption.
  • In Group search:

    In Basis for group search, enter the subpath to the group information in LDAP.
    For example, if you find the group information under ou = groups, dc = myCompany, dc = de, enter the following:

    Panel
    titleExample: Basis for group search
    Basis for group search: ou=groups
    In Filter for group search, enter a filter expression, that defines the search starting with the subpath above.

    For example, if the group membership of users is stored in a multi-value attribute member (via the DN), enter the following:

    Panel
    titleExample: Filter for group search

    Filter for group search: (member={0})

    In Attribute for group, enter an attribute with unique values to define the group belonging. The groups to which the user belongs are compared in the last step with the assignment to the roles in the system and access to the system is assigned based on the assigned roles.

    For example, enter the following:

    Panel
    titleExample: Attribute for group

    Attribute for group: cn

    Group Permissions
  • Go to the LDAP Group Permissions tab to map the LDAP groups to internal Identity Manager roles.

    titleConfigure SAML SSO Core Object profile
    1. Prepare the required SAML configuration files. For file examples, refer to Enable two-factor authentication to Identity Manager clients via SAML federation.
      1. You need one metadata file for each Service Provider, that is, one file for Identity Manager Operator, one file for Smart ID Self-Service and one file for other Service Providers that you configure.
      2. You also need the metadata file of your Identity Provider and a keystore containing all the keys you would like to use for encryption or signing.
    2. Go to the SAML Configuration tab and do the following settings:
      1. In Identity Provider Configuration:
        1. Upload a Configuration file 
          Here you can upload and delete the metadata file for an identity provider. The metadata file must contain only one identity provider configuration and no service provider configurations.

        2. Select an Attribute Type
          This is the identifying element of a SAML response. Despite the name, it can contain other elements than attributes. It can have two values, Name ID and Attribute Statement. Name ID refers to the subject of a SAML response, Attribute Statement refers to attributes associated with the subject of a SAML response.

        3. Enter Attribute Name
          This field is only active when Attribute Statement is selected as Attribute Type. It can be any arbitrary value.

      2. In Keystore Configuration:
        1. Upload a Configuration file
          Here you can upload and delete key store file. The key store file must contain the certificates and the private key used for signing and decryption. A key store is mandatory.  When a key store is uploaded, the key store's password must be entered. Objects in the key store, if protected with a password, must have the same password as the key store itself.
        2. Available key aliases
          List of the aliases that mark private keys in the key store.
      3. In Service Provider Configurations:
        1. Click on the + button to add a service provider. 
        2. This view lists the aliases of the service providers. Any arbitrary number of service providers is allowed but at least one service provider is required. An uploaded service provider must use only private keys available in the key store. If you upload a service provider metadata file that violates the SAML metadata schema, this triggers an error message.
      4. In Service Provider Details:
        1. Alias
          In this context, Alias refers to the location and thus the service provider to use when sending the SAML response to the application for processing. An Alias is mandatory.

          This is an example of an excerpt from a typical metadata file that defines the Assertion Consumer Service responsible for processing the SAML response. The Alias in this case is "explorer".

          Code Block
          titleExample: Excerpt from a metadata file
          ...
          <md:AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" Location="http://hostname:8080/prime_explorer/saml/SSO/alias/explorer" index="0" isDefault="true"/>
          ...


        2. Configuration File
          Click on the upload symbol and select the metadata file. 

          This field is mandatory. The metadata file must contain only one service provider configuration and no identity provider configurations. If the file is deleted and re-uploaded, Alias must be reset according to the metadata file.
        3. Alias for Signing Key
          The alias from the key store for the private key to use for signing. This field is mandatory.
        4. Alias for Encryption Key
          The alias from the key store for the private key to use for encryption purposes. This field is mandatory.

    3. Excerpt

      Go to the Core Object Configuration tab and do the following settings:

      1. In Identity template, select one or more core object types, for example, Employee and Contractor, on which the core object search will be performed. The first matching template will be used.
      2. In User name field, select the core object field to match the user principal, for example UPN or Email. Identity Manager will use it to search the core object in the selected identity template.
      3. In User display, enter fields in a comma separated list, for example FirstName, LastName. These fields are used to display the logged in user in Identity Manager Operator or Smart ID Self-Service.

    Configure post-login process

    Expand
    titleConfigure post-login process

    In order for a process to be started after you login in Identity Manager Operator and Self-Service (if applicable), the process must end with the service task "Login - Finalize post-login process", see Login - Standard service tasks in Identity Manager. The post-login process is available for all authentication profiles.

    • A post-login process is automatically executed after successfully authenticating the user.
    • The user will be forwarded to Identity Manager Operator and Self-Service (if applicable) only if the process completed successfully.
    • The post-login process is executed under the internal user named loginProcessUser.
    • Default is to not have a post-login process configured.

    When you configure a post-login process for an authentication profile which is core object based (that is: Username with Password Core Object, Client Certificate Core Object, LDAP Core Object and SAML SSO Core Object), add the process for each core template with which it should be used, as additional command.

    1. In Identity Manager Admin, Go to Home > Authentication Profiles.
    2. Select an authentication profile.
    3. In the Processes tab, select from the drop-down list to the left, which process that shall run after a successful login in : Identity Manager Operator (if applicable)
      OR.
    4. In the Processes tab, select from the drop-down list to the right, which process that shall run after a successful login in Self-Service (if applicable)
      OR in both. 
    5. Click Save.
    6. Go to Home > Process Designer.
    7. Select the same process as in step 3.
    8. In the Task List tab, add the service task "Login: Finalize Post-Login Process" in the Attributes field.
    9. In the Permissions tab, add the user loginProcessUser to Start process and to other service tasks, if applicable.
    10. Click Save.

    Tenant ID settings

    titleTenant ID settings

    Using the correct URL, the desired authentication method can be called directly. You need to give a valid tenant ID (language will depend on browser language).

    Read more under headings "Login" and "Admin page" in Identity Manager Operator.

    Authentication method Certificate

    Use this URL: https://<idmhost>:<idmPort>/<idmApplicationName>/cert/login?tenantId=X  (Example: https://localhost:8444/idm-admin/cert/login?tenantId=32768)

    The port (default is 8444) must be configured in system.properties.

    Authentication method SAML

    Use this URL: https://<idmhost>:<idmPort>/<idmApplicationName>/saml/login?tenantId=X (Example: http://localhost:8080/idm/saml/login?tenantId=1)

    Validate tenant id

    You can use the flag "tenantContextFilter.shouldValidateTenant" in system.properties of Identity Manager for validation of the tenant id:

    • If set to true, an error page is shown when selected tenant (passed in the URL) does not exist.
    • If set to false, the user will be redirected to the login page.
    • Default: tenantContextFilter.shouldValidateTenant=false
