Overview

Many companies use SAML SSO with an Identity Provider to manage users and access to applications. To integrate Command Center with SAML SSO, first, the Identity Provider must be configured to allow access to Command Center. Then, Command Center must be configured for SSO. The result is three key files referenced from saml_configuration.conf

  1. a keystore that contains the identity provider certificate and a key
  2. the idp.xml file that describes the identity provider (Okta in our example)
  3. the sp.xml file that describes the service provider (our Command Center application)

Configure the Identity Provider

We will be using Okta as the Identity Provider in order to illustrate how to configure Globalyzer.

Set up Okta Developer Account

Create Command Center Groups/People

  • Click Directory->Groups on left
  • Create Command Center Admin group
  • Create Command Center Manager group
  • Create Command Center Developer group
  • Create Command Center Translator group
  • Choose Directory->People on left
  • Add accounts and assign to appropriate Command Center Groups

Create Okta Application

   Email, Unspecified, user.email
   Username, Unspecified , user.login
   Last Name, Unspecified , user.lastName
  • Groups Section: enter in the following:
   memberOf, Unspecified, Contains, Command Center
  • Select I'm an Okta customer adding an internal app
  • Check This is an internal app that we have created
  • Go to Assignments tab
  • Assign the four Command Center groups to your app

Download Artifacts

  • Go to Sign On tab of your app
  • Click View SAML setup instructions
  • Download certificate
  • Copy IDP Metadata to a file named idp.xml

Generate Keys and Keystore

  • Generate key and keystore:
   keytool -genkey -alias <your-saml-key> -keyalg RSA -keystore <your-key-store.jks>
  • Accept Identity Provider Certficate
   keytool -import -alias okta -keystore <your-key-store.jks> -file <certificate you downloaded from okta>

Generate sp.xml

  • Create a file named sp.xml with the following contents
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <md:EntityDescriptor xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata" entityID="https://cc.saml.lingoport.io/command-center/saml2/service-provider-metadata/<your-saml-key>">

  • Modify entityId to match what you specified as Audience in your Okta app.
  • Replace the two CERTIFICATEs with the certificate you downloaded from Okta. Open the file and grab the lines between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE in the downloaded file.
  • Replace cc.saml.lingoport.io with your machine name
  • Replace <your-saml-key> with the key name you chose above

Configure saml_configuration.conf

  • Copy <your-key-store.jks>, sp.xml, and idp.xml files to a specific location on the machine running the Command Center Server.
  • Add and configure the following lines to saml_configuration.conf:
   // tell Globalyzer and the Plugin to use saml
   commandcenter.saml.mode = true
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.active = true
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.providerNames = ['samlAuthenticationProvider','anonymousAuthenticationProvider']
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.loginFormUrl = '/saml2/authenticate/<your-saml-key>'
   // keystore configuration
   // assuming you created a keystore named saml-keystore.jks and a key named samlkey ...
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.keyManager.storeFile = "file:/path/to/<your-key-store.jks>"
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.keyManager.storePass = '<your-keystore-pw>'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.keyManager.passwords = [<your-saml-key>:'<your-keystore-pw>']
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.keyManager.defaultKey = '<your-saml-key>'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.defaults.signingKey = '<your-saml-key>'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.defaults.encryptionKey = '<your-saml-key>'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.defaults.tlsKey = '<your-saml-key>'
   // leave as is if created okta app as specified above
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.userGroupAttribute = 'memberOf'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.userAttributeMappings = ['username' : 'Username', 'email': 'Email', 'fullname' : 'Last Name']
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.userGroupToRoleMapping = ['ROLE_ADMIN': 'Command Center Admin', 'ROLE_MANAGER': 'Command Center Manager', 'ROLE_DEV': 'Command Center Developer', 'ROLE_TRANSLATOR': 'Command Center Translator']
   // idp configuration
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.defaultIdp = 'entity id found in idp.xml'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.idp.file = 'file:/path/to/idp.xml'
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.providers = ['<your-saml-key>':'file:/path/to/idp.xml']
   // sp configuration
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.file = "/path/to/sp.xml"
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.alias = "entity id found in sp.xml file"
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.defaults.alias = 'entity id found in sp.xml file';
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.metadata.sp.defaults.entityId = 'entity id found in sp.xml file'
   // true if want token to auto renew when user logs into server
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.autoRenewToken = true
   // specify number of days until token expires
   grails.plugin.springsecurity.saml.renewTokenDays = 90

Extra Configuration for Https

If your server is running under https, in the tomcat server.xml file, you must set the scheme for the Connector to https. For example:

<Connector port="8080" 
           protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           ...
           scheme="https"
/>


Or you can set this configuration where you set your proxy. In apache, it would look like this:

 RequestHeader add X-Forwarded-Proto https

Trouble-Shooting your SSO Configuration

If you are having difficulty logging in to your SSO-configured Command Center Server (login is failing, for example), configure the Command Center Server to write more information to the tomcat/temp/ccserver.log file during the login process. This will help in fixing your configuration.

To do this, place a special logback.groovy file (provided by Lingoport) to a location on your server. Then add -Dlogging.config to your JAVA_OPTS environment variable.

For example:

JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx1600m -Dlogging.config=/path/to/logback.groovy"

Then stop and start your Command Center Server to incorporate the changes. You should now see more information written to the ccserver.log file.

What Differences Will I see Using SSO?

When an SSO server has been successfully configured and launched, you will see these changes.

Server changes:

  • On server login screen, an SSO login button displays, rather than Email and Password
  • On server login screen, Forgot Password link is removed
  • Admin users can no longer create other users, except for API users
  • When an SSO user initially logs in to the server, a server account will be created if they were authenticated by the Identity Provider and authorized (by belonging to one of the four Command Center groups)
  • If user is NOT authenticated or authorized, login will fail
