Single Sign On (SSO) for Magento

miniOrange provides a ready to use solution for Magento. This solution ensures that you are ready to roll out secure access to your Magento site within minutes.

Magento

miniOrange provides secure access to Magento for enterprises and full control over access of applications, Single Sign On (SSO) into Magento with one set of login credentials.
miniOrange SAML Single Sign on (SSO) plugin acts as a SAML Service Provider which can be configured to establish the trust between the plugin and a SAML capable Identity Providers to securely authenticate the user to the Magento site.
If you want Magento to acts as a SAML Identity Provider and single sign on into various SAML supported Service Providers to securely authenticate the user using the Magento site then you need to use Magento as IDP plugin.


miniOrange Supports the following Usecases for Magento


Use Magento as Identity Provider / User Store


If you have an existing Magento site where all the users are registered, you can use it as Identity Provider to authenticate users and SSO into some other application.


Use Magento as Service Provider.


Use Magento as an Service Provider when you already have an existing User Store / Identity Provider.



Magento as Identity Provider

Magento is mostly used as a Service Provider (SP), but we can also use Magento as Identity Source. It is a Learning Management System, so it has all the user credentials, who have registered with the Magento. People (Admin / Site administrator) now want to let these users log into another website/application using the Magento credentials. In simple words, Magento users should be able to Single Sign-On into another application using Magento credentials.

Workflow

1. User wants to access a service provided by some other application other than Magento.

2. The Application which is configured knows where to authenticate users. It sends the authentication request to miniOrange.

3. miniOrange checks the Magento database for the user credentials, whether the user is valid or not.

4. User credentials are fetched from the database.

5. Depending on the fetched result, miniOrange authenticates the user or denies the request.

6. User gets access to respective Service/Application.

Magento as Service Provider

Magento is a Learning Management System. So, users usually login to the Magento site and do their work. But in some cases, they want to SSO into the Magento site.
To perform Single Sign On (SSO), the Service Provider and the Identity Provider has to adhere to some kind of protocols like SAML, OAuth etc. In case of SAML, Service Provider is the site which user wants to access. Identity Provider is the site (kind of) where user's credentials are present. Here, the site which has user credentials is Identity Provider and the site where they want to login to is Service provider.
In this case, we will configure our Magento site as Service Provider (SP) using miniOrange Plugin. We will use SAML protocol. Here, miniOrange will be the Identity Provider (IdP).

  • Attribute Mapping :
    • Attribute Mapping is used by the Identity Provider(IdP) and the Magento group(SP) to map user information from IdP to SP.
    • Attribute Mapping helps you to get user attributes from your IdP and map them to Magento user attributes.
    • Attributes received in successful Test configuration are used for Attribute Mapping.
    • In Attribute Mapping details like username and NameID as shown in step 3 of Test Successful are mapped to Username and Email respectively.
