7 Chapter 1: Introduction This document provides information on configurations needed for enabling SAML based authentication between Nimsoft Service Desk and either Microsoft Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS 2.0) or Novell Access Manager as the Identity Provider. The document also contains information on steps to exchange metadata between Microsoft Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS 2.0) or Novell Access Manager and Nimsoft Service Desk to establish the federation between the two parties and enable Single Sign-On. The Nimsoft Service Desk Single Sign-On tool supports SAML 2.0 based authentication standards for authenticating Nimsoft Service Desk users with an identity provider. Once Single Sign-On (SSO) is configured, users can log seamlessly into the application without being prompted for application user name and password. This section contains the following topics: SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (see page 7) Prerequisites (see page 8) SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On SAML 2.0 is an XML-based protocol that uses security tokens containing assertions to pass user information between an identity provider and Nimsoft Service Desk. The Identity Provider and Nimsoft Service Desk communicate via the Client Browser to exchange authentication information. Chapter 1: Introduction 7

8 Prerequisites The following diagram provides a sequence of events that happen in authenticating a user via SAML based Single Sign-On. Where federation is used for enabling Single Sign-On, the platform receives an SAML Assertion in an HTTP POST request. The SAML Assertion has limited validity period, it contains a unique identifier and it is digitally signed. If the assertion is made during its validity period, if it has not been used before (no session already exists for that user), and if the assertion has a valid signature from the identity provider; the user is granted access to the application and is redirected to the Home Page or the Requested Page (like Service Feedback form, My Outstanding Approvals, Ticket form etc.). If the assertion fails for any reason, the user is informed that the credentials are invalid. Prerequisites For enabling SAML 2.0 based Single Sign-On, configurations need to be done on both; Nimsoft Service Desk and the Identity Provider server. The following conditions must be set before beginning the process of configuring SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On: Identity Provider server is configured and running. Token Signing Certificate is available. HTTPS/SSL should be enabled on IIS server. Nimsoft Service Desk must be installed on a server that is HTTPS/SSL enabled. 8 Single Sign-On Configuration Guide

9 Prerequisites Before commencing, please ensure that the Identity Provider (either Microsoft Active Directory Federation Service or Novell Access Manager) is already configured and running and that the Token Signing Certificate is available. You will need to enable HTTPS/SSL on Nimsoft Service Desk application server and database server before starting with Single Sign-On configurations. Please contact Nimsoft Support for assistance and instructions on how to do this. Important! Please do not modify any parameters on the application server or database server without assistance from Nimsoft Support. Chapter 1: Introduction 9

11 Chapter 2: Enabling Single Sign-On For Nimsoft Service Desk and the Identity Provider to recognize the assertions as valid, a federation has to be established between these two systems. To build a federation between an Identity Provider (such as Microsoft Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS 2.0) or Novell Access Manager) and Nimsoft Service Desk, we need to establish trust by exchanging some metadata. Chapter 2: Enabling Single Sign-On 11

12 Export Identity Provider Certificate To establish Federated Trust and complete enabling Single Sign-On you will need to undertake the following actions: 1. Export Token Signing Certificate from the Identity Provider into a supported file format. 2. Configure Single Sign-On in Nimsoft Service Desk and Download Metadata from Nimsoft Service Desk and save as Domainname.XML. 3. Add Nimsoft Service Desk as Trusted Service Provider in Identity Provider system. 4. Configure Identity Provider to send User Identifier as Name ID. The following sections provide detailed instructions on how to set-up the exchange of metadata between the Identity Provider and Nimsoft Service Desk and other configurations for enabling Single Sign-On. Note: Where configurations are needed on the Identity Provider, the document has sub-sections on undertaking the given action on Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) 2.0 and Novell Access Manager. Depending on the Identity Provider you are using, you can browse to the relevant sub-section. This section contains the following topics: Export Identity Provider Certificate (see page 12) Configure SAML Single Sign-On in Nimsoft Service Desk (see page 16) Add Nimsoft Service Desk as Trusted Service Provider in the Identity Provider (see page 18) Configure Identity Provider to send User Identifier as Name ID (see page 24) Export Identity Provider Certificate Federation servers use Public/Private Key pairs to digitally sign all security tokens they produce. Later, after they are received from a partner federated server, these keys validate the authenticity of the encrypted security token. Certificates are used to secure communications and establish trust. The Public Key portion of the Signing Certificate is exported from the Identity Provider and saved in an appropriate location. Once the Signing Certificate is saved on the local system accessible by Nimsoft Service Desk, the XML Metadata of the certificate can be used when undertaking Single Sign-On configuration in Nimsoft Service Desk. 12 Single Sign-On Configuration Guide

13 Export Identity Provider Certificate The Signing Certificate has to be stored in a Base64 encoded file in ADFS 2.0 and PEM file in Novell Access Manager.
