SafeNet Authentication Service and SAML Figure 1: SafeNet Authentication Service s Various Authentication Options SafeNet Authentication Service now offers SAML authentication to its Cloud Subscribers. This means that enterprises can: Extend strong authentication beyond the enterprise perimeter to include Cloud Apps such as Salesforce, Google Apps, etc. Use SafeNet Authentication Service to protect internal applications, such as SAP, that support SAML authentication. Use SafeNet Authentication Service with perimeter devices, such as SSL VPNs, that support SAML authentication. Enable authorized users to authenticate to Cloud apps in a simple, familiar and consistent manner using the same token/authentication method they use for VPN and other traditional access. Automate Cloud app authorization. Use SafeNet Authentication Service reporting to audit all user authentication activity, including authentication into Cloud apps. SafeNet Authentication Service and SAML 7
Traditional RADIUS Scenario without SAML In a traditional RADIUS scenario, a user is prompted to provide authentication credentials (UserID and password) to an access point, such as a VPN. The VPN uses the RADIUS protocol to pass the credentials to the authentication service for validation. The authentication service in turn sends an accept or reject message via RADIUS back to the VPN. Figure 2: RADIUS Authentication User Experience The standardized RADIUS allows an organization to choose any vendor s RADIUS client, such as VPN, and be assured that it could use any other vendor s RADIUS Server, such as SafeNet Authentication Service. However, RADIUS has rarely been adopted outside of network perimeter devices. Much like the days before the adoption of RADIUS, applications have each tended to have their own authentication mechanism. As a result, users tended to have many passwords and had to log in to individual applications. With the growth in web apps and in Cloud computing, this quickly became unmanageable for users and administrators alike. A new authentication standard was required that could be adopted by application developers with ease and without requiring specific knowledge of how or what the authentication method will be. And equally important, the standard had to provide a way to federate identity so that users were not required to have many passwords or separate logons to individual applications. SAML, and in particular SAML 2.0, became the standard that made this possible. Traditional RADIUS Scenario without SAML 8
Introduction to SAML SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML (Extensible Markup Language) standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between two security domains: A. an identity provider (IdP) such as SafeNet Authentication Service B. a service provider (SP), typically a web application such as Google Apps SAML allows a user to log on once for affiliated but separate web sites or web applications. SAML has three components: 1 Assertions are of three different statement types: authentication, attribute, and authorization decision. Authentication assertion validates the user's identity. Attribute assertion contains specific information about the user. Authorization decision assertion identifies what the user is authorized to do. 2 Protocol defines how SAML asks for and receives assertions. 3 Binding defines how SAML message exchanges are mapped to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) exchanges. SAML works with multiple protocols including Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and also supports SOAP, BizTalk, and Electronic Business XML (ebxml). While generally considered an authentication protocol for web apps and in particular for Cloud computing, SAML is in fact supported by a range of applications and devices including SAP and perimeter devices such as SSL VPNs. Introduction to SAML 9
How SAML Works With SAS The SAML Service Provider, such as Google Apps, Salesforce, or SSL VPN, relies on SafeNet Authentication Service as the SAML identity provider (IdP) to present the logon page and to authenticate users. The SAML assertion generated by the IdP in response to a successful authentication is used by the Service Provider to grant the user access to the application. When a user attempts to log on to an application that supports SAML, they are redirected to SafeNet Authentication Service where they must authenticate. If the authentication is successful, the user is redirected to their Cloud app where access is granted. Figure 3: SAML Authentication General User Experience - illustrates SAML s net effect on the user logon experience Web Application SSO When separate web sites or applications are affiliated, the successful SAML authentication results in user access to the affiliate without requiring an additional user logon. This is essentially web SSO. Figure 3: SAML Authentication General User Experience illustrates a possible affiliation between Google Apps and Salesforce which would permit a user authenticated to one of these services to be able to use the other service without additional authentication. How SAML Works With SAS 10
Managing Cloud Identities It is not uncommon for individual Cloud applications to impose specific requirements for UserID. For example, a user may require a gmail account (e.g. bill@gmail.com) to log on to Google Apps, whereas Salesforce may require a domain specific email address (e.g. bill@acmecompany.com). If there is no affiliation between the web apps, the user would be required to log on separately to each application using different credentials. These may be in addition to the UserID required for logon through the corporate VPN (e.g. blaham). This can become confusing and unmanageable for users and administrators. Fortunately there are a couple of solutions: 1. Normalizing User Credentials using SafeNet Authentication Service 2. Using SafeNet Authentication Service with Cloud SSO Service Providers Normalizing User Credentials using SafeNet Authentication Service Use SAS to normalize the user s logon credentials across corporate and Cloud applications and services. One of the capabilities of SafeNet Authentication Service is to authenticate a user with a single credential set the UserID and One-Time Password, but provide a different, specific credential required by the Cloud app service. On successful authentication, SAS replaces the UserID provided during authentication with the UserID required by the Cloud application in the SAML assertion. This is illustrated in Figure 4: Normalizing User Credentials using SafeNet Authentication Service. For the user, this delivers a consistent logon methodology (such as UserID: Bill, Password: OTP), and insulates the user from any other credential management requirements. Figure 4: Normalizing User Credentials using SafeNet Authentication Service How SAML Works With SAS 11
Using SafeNet Authentication Service with Cloud SSO Service Providers Cloud SSO Service Providers, such as Symplified (www.symplified.com), provide a front end for managing multiple Cloud Service Providers and applications. Typically, these front ends support SAML authentication and can therefore use SafeNet Authentication Service as the IdP. The Cloud SSO can be configured as a SAML SP, relying on SafeNet Authentication Service to authenticate the user. Once authenticated, the user has access to Cloud applications and services configured for their personal Cloud SSO account. Figure 5: SafeNet Authentication Service and Cloud SSO Automatic Cloud App Authorization One of the challenges facing administrators of large user populations is efficient and timely activation of SAML authentication. As the number of users and Cloud apps grow, so does the challenge of timely activation and deactivation. To solve this problem, SafeNet Authentication Service offers SAML Provisioning Rules. Generally, these rules are triggered on the addition or removal of a user from an LDAP security group and/or SafeNet Authentication Service internal group. These rules allow or deny authentication for users authenticating to the specified SAML Service Providers. How SAML Works With SAS 12
Configuring SAML Authentication in SAS Configuring SAS for SAML authentication requires the following steps: Configuring SAML Service Providers in SAS Configure the virtual server to process authentication requests received from specific SAML Service Providers. Click Apply to save the new Service Provider. Configuring SAML Services in SAS Manually enable SAML authentication for your users to one or more of the SAML Service Providers that were configured on the virtual server. Click Add to save the new SAML service. Configuring SAML Provisioning Rules in SAS Automatically enable SAML authentication for users in specific containers or groups to one or more of the SAML Service Providers configured on the virtual server. SAML Provisioning Rules can be used instead of, or in addition to, configured SAML services. Configuring SAML Service Providers in SAS From the COMMS tab of your virtual server, select SAML Service Providers. Select SAML 2.0 Settings, and click Add to add a new Service Provider. Configuring SAML Authentication in SAS 13
Note: After a Service Provider has been configured in SAS, information is displayed in the SAML 2.0 Settings area fields. You will need these values when you configure the Service Provider to use SAS as a SAML identity provider. In the Add SAML 2.0 Settings area: Entity ID This is the Entity ID of the SAML Service Provider, typically (but not always) in the form of a URL. This value will be provided by the Service Provider, or it can be extracted from the metadata (XML file) provided by the Service Provider. For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <md:entitydescriptor xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:saml:2.0:metadata" entityid=https://mycompany.salesforce.com Friendly Name This is a name you assign to the SAML Service Provider for easy identification. This name will appear in the SAML Services list displayed in Assignment SAML Services and Policies Automation Policies SAML Provisioning Rules. SAML 2.0 Metadata o Upload Existing Metadata File Use this to upload an XML file that has been generated by your SAML Service Provider. Configuring SAML Authentication in SAS 14
o Create New Metadata File Some SAML Service Providers do not provide a metadata file but instead provide only their Entity ID and Location (essentially the resource being accessed). This option instructs the virtual server to create and add a metadata file based on this information. The remaining options are used to customize the appearance of the logon page presented to the user. Custom Logo This is a customized logo that will appear on the logon form presented to your users during authentication. Custom CSS This is a customized CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) for the logon form presented to your users during authentication. If no file is chosen, the following default CSS is used:.tablebanner width: 600px; border-width: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; background-color: white;.tablemain width: 600px; border-width: 1px; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: #4682B4; Configuring SAML Authentication in SAS 15

Click Apply to save the new Service Provider. Configuring SAML Authentication in SAS 19
Configuring SAML Services in SAS Manually enable a user to authenticate against one or more configured SAML Service Providers. From the Assignment tab of your virtual server, select SAML Services, and click Add to add a new SAML service. Service This lists all of the SAML Service Providers that were already configured in SAS. SAML Login ID This is the UserID that will be returned to the Service Provider in the SAML assertion on successful authentication. For example, if your Service Provider requires a UserID of name@domain.com, which is identical to the user s email address, choose the E-mail option. Doing so allows the user to consistently use their UserID to authenticate regardless of the Service Providers requirements. In most cases, a Service Provider will require either the UserID or the E-mail. For all other cases, choose the Custom option and enter the field containing the UserID to be returned. Note: You can automate the creation and removal of SAML Services for users by creating a SAML provisioning rule. See Click Add to save the new SAML service. Configuring SAML Provisioning Rules in SAS. Click Add to save the new SAML service. Configuring SAML Provisioning Rules in SAS You can automate the granting and revocation of permissions for user authentication to SAML Service Providers.
