Configure SSO for Apps with Bitium as IDP

---

miniOrange SSO solution allows you to login to any of your applications/websites using Bitium as IdP (Identity Provider). In this guide we will go through step-by-step instructions on how to configure SSO between an application and Bitium by configuring Bitium as an Identity Provider and your application as a Service Provider. miniOrange SSO solution also acts as an identity broker for cross protocol authentication, which means Service Provider following a particular SSO protocol can connect to an Identity Provider following some different SSO protocol like SAML,OAuth etc. Once configured successfully you will be ready to securely access your website/application using Bitium IDP.

Follow the Step-by-Step Guide given below for SSO

Step 1: Configure Bitium as IDP in miniOrange

• Login to your miniOrange Admin Console.
• From the left navigation bar select Identity Providers. Select SAML.





• Enter appropriate IdP Name. Also add following details

IdP Entity ID	Identity Provider Issuer from Bitium
SAML SSO Login URL	Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL from Bitium
X.509 Certificate	X.509 Certificate from Bitium
Single Logout URL [Optional]	Single Logout URL from Bitium

• Few other optional features that can be added to the Identity Provider(IDP) are listed in the table below:

Domain Mapping	Can be used to redirect specific domain user to specific IDP
Show IdP to Users	Enable this if you want to show this IDP to all users during Login
Send Configured Attributes	Enabling this would allow you to add attributes to be sent from IDP

• Click on Save.

2. Configure your app in miniOrange

• Login as an administrator in Bitium.

• Now to provide the required data to OAuth client go to the app configured i.e apps >> your_app >> select >> edit.






Note: Choose the Authorization Endpoint according to the identity source you configure.

• When you want to use you want to use miniOrange as OAuth identity server use this endpoint: https://{mycompany.domainname.com}/moas/idp/openidsso
• If you are configuring any Identity Provider in Identity Providers Menu and not using miniOrange as IDP use this endpoint: https://{mycompany.domainname.com}/broker/login/oauth{customerid}

• Click on Create App under JWT.



• Select JWT App.



• Configure the name for your application and configure Redirect-URL which tells where to send JWT response. Redirect-URL should be an endpoint on your application where you want to achieve SSO.




In case you are setting up SSO with Mobile Applications where you can't create an endpoint for Redirect or Callback URL, use below URL.

https://login.xecurify.com/moas/jwt/mobile


• Click Save
• To get the SSO link for your application, Go to Apps >> your_app >> select >> Edit.



• Then, copy the Single Sign On Url and verify SSO setup by browsing that url.



• On successful authentication, you will be redirected to configured Redirect or Callback URL with JWT token
• You will need to download a certificate from App > Manage Apps, and click Certificate link against your configured application. This certificate will be used for signature validation of JWT response.

5. Setup Multiple IDPs (Optional)

• You can configure multiple IDPs (Identity Providers) and give users the option to select the IDP of their choice to authenticate with.
  For Example - It could be multiple AD domains belonging to different departments or multiple okta organizations.

Few usecases where customers configure multiple IDPs -


• Suppose you have a product which many of your clients use and each client has their own unique IDP so you want them to SSO into your product as well using their existing IDP only. miniOrange provides a centralized way to connect with all IDPs in a very easy manner and integrate SSO into your application.
• Suppose you are providing a course to many universities, each having a unique SAML, OAuth protocol supported IDP's like Shibboleth, ADFS, CAS, etc. You can provide Single Sign-On (SSO) into your course application to all these universities by integrating with all of them using a single platform provided by miniOrange.
• This is the endpoint to call from your SAML application -

For Cloud IDP -	https://login.xecurify.com/moas/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>
For On-Premise IDP -	https://yourdomain.com/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>



• You should copy the Customer Key from admin console-> Settings -> and replace it with <customer_id> here. Once configured in SP, when you initiate the login from Service Provider, a user will be redirected to IDP Selection Page listing all IDPs configured for that account.

You can see the screenshot below of the IDP Selection Page with a list of IDPs.




Note: To view the IDP in drop-down list, go to Identity Providers tab > against your configured IDP > Select >Edit , here Enable the Show IdP to Users option.
