Squarespace Two-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA)


Squarespace 2 Factor Authentication is an additional layer of security in which a user is prompted to provide two factors to gain access to the Squarespace account. With Squarespace 2FA being enabled, anyone trying access your Squarespace account from an unrecognized computer/device must provide additional authorization. Authentication starts with a user submitting his traditional username and password. Once the user successfully gets authenticated with the 1st step verification, configured 2FA (OTP verification, Push Notifications, YubiKey, TOTP, Google Authenticator etc) method prompts for 2nd-step verification. After successfully authenticating with both of the steps a user is granted with the access to the Squarespace account. This extra layer prevents the unauthorized person from accessing the resources even if cyber attackers get to know your credentials.

miniOrange provides 15+ authentication methods and solutions for Squarespace. It allows users and organizations to set up certain authentication and settings which includes password restrictions, restricting sign-in methods, as well as other security settings. miniorange also makes way for authentication apps that support Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy 2-Factor authentication app and miniorange Authenticator app.


Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.

1. Configure Squarespace in miniOrange:

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

  • Go to Apps and click on Add Application button.
  • Squarespace Single Sign-On (SSO) add app

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

  • Configure JWT application: Search Squarespace 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.
  • 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

  • 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.
  • miniOrange Identity Platform Admin Handbook: Navigate to Advanced tab

  • 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.
