How to add a JWT App


miniOrange supports Single Sign-On for secure login for users and admins. miniOrange supports several different protocols for your applications, such as SAML, WS-FED, OAuth, OIDC, JWT, RADIUS, etc. Using Single Sign-on, users can use one set of credentials to log in to multiple applications. This improves security, as it reduces avenues for phishing attacks, and also improves access to your applications.

miniOrange provides Single Sign-on for Mobile applications and Javascript framework based applications through JSON Web Token [so, JWT apps]. This solution allows you to setup Single Sign-On (SSO) into your applications that do not support the SAML 2.0 standard. You can allow your users to Single Sign-On into your application by verifying their Identity with your existing SAML 2.0 compliant Identity Provider. This is done using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), and they can be easily integrated with your application built in any framework or language. You can add JWT apps to enable SSO in any mobile/client-side apps which do not support any standard protocols and are built on platforms like React.js, Firebase, Cordova, Angular.js, etc. You can also add Password-Less app links to the user portal from here.


Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) Settings for JWT Apps:


  • Login into miniOrange Admin Console.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Dashboard applications

  • Click on Apps. It shows a list of all configured applications and option to modify them. Click on Add Application.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Add Application

  • Under Choose Application, select JWT from the All Apps dropdown.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Select JWT App from the All Apps dropdown

  • Search for your application from the list, if your application is not found. Search for jwt and you can set up your app via JWT App.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Search JWT application

  • You can configure the following details in the application:
    Display Name Enter the Display Name (i.e. the name for this application)
    Redirect URL Enter the Redirect URL (i.e. the endpoint where you want to send/post your JWT token). You can add multiple redirect URLs by separating them with a ‘;’.E.g. abc.com;xyz.com
    Client ID The Client ID is shown in the field below. Click the clipboard icon to copy it.
    Client Secret Client Secret is hidden by default. Click the eye icon to reveal it and use the clipboard icon to copy it. This is used in the HS256 signature algorithm for generating the signature.
    Description (Optional) Add a description if required.
    Upload App Logo (Optional) Upload an app logo (Optional). The app will be shown in the end-user dashboard with the logo that you configure here.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Enter JWT app details

  • Click Save.
  • You will be redirected to the Policies section. Click Add Policy.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Go to Policies and Add Policy

  • A dialog box will open enter the following details:
    Group Name Select the group for which you wish to add a this policy. For multiple groups, you can click here to add a multiple/separate policies for each group.
    Policy Name You can give a name for the authentication policy.
    First Factor Select the login method as Password and Password-less. You can enable 2-Factor Authentication (MFA), Adaptive Authentication and Force MFA On Each Login Attempt.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Under the Add Login Policy, provide the details

  • Click Submit to add the policy.
  • You will see the policy listed once it’s successfully added.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Policy was successfully added

  • Click on Advanced tab.
  • Enter the following details as required:
    Access Token Enter the access token that will be sent to your redirect URL after a user logs in. This token helps your app know the user is allowed to access certain features.
    ID Token Expiry (In Mins) Set how long (in minutes) the ID token will be valid. After this time, the user will need to log in again to get a new token.
    Subject Choose what information, like the user’s email address, will be used to identify them in the token. This helps your app know which user is logged in.
    Signature Algorithm Select your signature algorithm from the dropdown.
    The Logout URL of your application Enter the web address where users should be sent after they log out.

  • Signature Algorithms for JWT
    • RSA-SHA256

      • Asymmetric, uses a set of private and public keys to generate and validate the signature which is included in the JWT token.
      • The private key is used to generate the signature on the IDP side.
      • The public key is used to verify the signature on the SP side.
      • We provide the public key for this.

      HS256

      • Symmetric, uses the same secret key to generate and validate the signature
      • The secret key in this case is configurable from the app configuration page.
  • Switch to Authentication tab.
    Primary Identity Provider Select the default ID source from the dropdown for the application. If not selected, users will see the default login screen and can choose their own IDP. [Choose miniOrange in this case.]
    Force Authentication If you enable this option, users will have to log in every time, even if their session already exists.
    Enable User Mapping Enable this option, if you want the app to show which user is signed in when it responds.
    Show On End User Dashboard Enable this option if you want to show this app in the end-user dashboard.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Navigate to Authentication tab

  • Navigate to Endpoints and copy the following details:
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Navigate to Endpoints and copy the following URLs

    • Single Sign-On URL:
      • This URL is used to initiate user authentication to obtain the JWT token.
      • Take redirect_uri as one of the query parameters.
      • After successful authentication on the IDP end, an active user session is created in the IDP and the user is redirected to the redirect_uri with the JWT token.
    • Single Logout URL:
      • This URL is used to log out the user from the IDP by removing the active user session.
      • Take redirect_uri as one of the query parameters.
      • After removing the active user session, the IDP redirects the user to the redirect_uri.
    • Reply back URL for IdP initiated logout:
      • This URL is used to initiate the logout in case the JWT user login was IDP Initiated [User logged in to the dashboard
        first and then initiated the login for the app from the dashboard.]
      • After logging out the user from the IDP, the user is redirected to the IDP dashboard login page.
