Configure IBM Secure Verify Access (ISVA) as an Identity Provider for SSO

---

Configure ISVA as a Identity Provider (IdP) for Single Sign-On (SSO) into your applications, enabling users to authenticate themselves across multiple applications using their existing ISVA credentials without needing to sign in again.

In this setup, ISVA acts as the Identity Provider (IdP), miniOrange acts as a broker, and other applications act as Service Providers (SPs). This setup eliminates the need to manage different identities as all information is stored in a unified location - ISVA, simplifying the integration process and enhancing overall security.

Additionally, miniOrange's Identity Broker solution facilitates cross-protocol authentication , allowing the user to authenticate using ISVA via the SAML protocol and obtain access to the application, which supports SAML, OAuth and other protocols. This demonstrates how miniOrange Identity brokering enables users to authenticate across different protocols, improving the flexibility and interoperability of SSO solutions.

Follow the Step-by-Step guide given below to enable SSO for your apps using ISVA

1. Configure miniOrange as SP in ISVA

• Login to ISVA as an administrator, go to applications and click on Add Application.



• Click on Custom Application button to create a Custom Application.



• Give it a name and select Add Application.
• In the company name field, give your company name.



• Navigate to Sign on tab.



• In the provider ID field, enter the Entity ID provided by miniorange.
• In the ACS URL & Service provider SSO URL field, enter the ACS URL provided by miniorange.
• Now go to the Security tab >> Certificates section.
• Add the signing certificate provided by miniorange by clicking on the Add signer certificate button.



• Now go to your application and in the Service Provider signer certificate, select the certificate which you have added.



• Now go to the settings of the newly created Application. Go to the Sign in tab and scroll to the right.



• Here you will find the values to be added in the miniOrange dashboard.

2. Configure ISVA as Identity Provider (IDP) in miniOrange

• Go to miniOrange Admin Console .
• From the left navigation bar select Identity Provider.
• Click on Add Identity Provider button.



• In the IDP entity ID field enter the Provider ID.
• In the SAML login URL field enter the Login URL.
• In the SAML Logout URL field enter the Logout URL.
• And in the certificate field enter the certificate provided by ISVA.



• Click Save.

3. Test Connection

• Now to check the configurations, click on Test connection button.



• Upon correct configuration you will see a test successful page.

4. Configure your app in miniOrange

• Login to miniOrange Admin Console.
• Go to Apps >> Add Application.

• SAML Application
• OAuth Application
• JWT Application

• Click on Create App under SAML.



• Search for your Application. In case you do not find your app, search for Custom SAML App.





• Get the ACS URL and SP Entity ID from your application.
• Enter the following values OR click on Import SP Metadata:

Service Provider Name	Choose appropriate name according to your choice
SP Entity ID or Issuer	Your Application Entity ID
ACS URL X.509 Certificate (optional)	Your Application Assertion Consumer Service URL
NameID format	Select urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
Response Signed	Unchecked
Assertion Signed	Checked
Encrypted Assertion	Unchecked
Group policy	Default
Login Method	Password

• Click on Save to configure your application.
• Now to get the IDP metadata of the app configured, Go to apps >> your_app >> select >> metadata tab.



• Click on the Show Metadata details in the Information required to Authenticate via External IDPs section. Download the metadata XML file by clicking on Download Metadata button or copy the Metadata URL link.



• You need to Upload this metadata in your application.

• Click on Create App under OAuth/OIDC. Click on Open ID Connect App .



• You can add any OAuth Client app here to enable miniOrange as OAuth Server. Few popular OAuth client apps for single sign-on are Salesforce, WordPress, Joomla, Atlassian, etc.





• Enter following Values:

Client Name	Add appropriate Name
Redirect URL	Get the Redirect-URL from your OAuth Client
Description	Add if required
Group Name	Default
Policy Name	As per your Choice
Login Method	Password

• Click on Save
• 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.
