Testing out staged roll out of could auth with PSH & SSO
Current setup:
I have a 3rd party Federated domain (Onelogin), Password Hash enabled & SSO disabled
Onelogin is only used as an Identity provider not used for anthing else, woud like to migrate from that to an Azure Password Hash / Passthrough currely weighing up the two: Would like to have MFA, self serving password reset and contional access setup via Azure P1, reading up this might be better with Pass Through, unless i have read wrong?
As part of staged rollout would like to enable Seemliess SSO,
was wondering if I enable Seamless SSO on my domain via powershell ( Enable-AzureADSSOForest -OnPremCredentials $creds) would this cause any disruption / issues with the current federation method?
there is no current SSO with OneLogin
I understand you were in the process of staged rollout. staged rollout doesn't switch domains from federated to managed. You still need to make the final cutover from federated to cloud authentication by using Azure AD Connect or PowerShell.
You can enable seamless SSO and it is triggered only for users who are selected for staged rollout and it won't affect your existing federation setup. Kindly go through the below documents to get a detailed information.
link1 and link2. If you have any further quires kindly let me know.

I need to support 3 way of authentication at the same time in the application: LDAP, Azure AD, Basic.
After few hours of googling i found that the best way to do it would be to implement 3 authentication providers and then register them with AuthenticationManagerBuilder. But the issue i stumbled into is, that i dont know how the make the Azure Ad provider. For LDAP i found an online example i can use, and based on the LDAP i could probably also make the Basic username and password provider, but havent found anything similar on Azure AD. All i have found is that, i need to add 2-3 dependencies to the project for the Azure AD and then it automagically works.
I dont understand spring security that much, so im stumped atm. Can i just trust the automagic to do everything correctly, or are there some resouces on how to create AzureADAuthenticationProvider i could use with AuthenticationManagerBuilder?
An authentication provider is an abstraction for accessing user information from LDAP, custom third-party source, database etc. it validates the user credentials.
Spring security with azure ad:
Firstly, azure ad is integrated with Spring security for secure your application.
User login through their credential and get validate by azure AD.
From azure graph API you have to access token and membership information.
Membership for role based authorization.
LDAP Authentication:
Unique LDAP or DN ,you can perform search in directory unless you know username to DNS is known in advance.
You can authenticate the user by binding that user.
Load the Number of authorities for the user.
Custom Authentication Provider:
Create own authentication (custom) with the help of authentication provider interface in which you can use
authenticate method and implementing it and make authentication object with username and password of user
Then after you can configure these authentication in spring security configuration.
Here is the Reference Link regarding Spring Security
I have the following scenario:
On-prem SQL SSO database exists that manages usernames and password (salted and hashed).
Azure AD B2C in the cloud for local accounts (usernames and passwords).
I would like to have both systems stay in sync. So, when a user requests a password reset from the on-prem SSO database, it will salt and hash the password, and then transmit that password to Azure AD B2C. Similarly, if the user requests a password reset from Azure AD B2C it will salt and hash that password back down to the on-prem database as well, if possible; I can imagine a scenario where this simply isn't possible in which case it would be OK if the hash value of the password is stored and we can assign a secondary column for "authentication_method" which will allow other client apps to still authenticate. If a new user signs-up on either side, then the appropriate record is created in both systems for local accounts only.
How can I go about implementing such a flow? What kind of documentation would be helpful here from the AD B2C side? Are there other synchronization tools available for this scenario?
I can imagine something like Apache Kafka or some script to sync data back and forth, but I am not sure about the specifics on the B2C side of how to get the password. I'm sure I've seen some documentation on how to update the user's password for the first scenario of on-prem to cloud, but lack information on how to go from cloud to on-prem.
The purpose of this is to support a newer application to leverage B2C, but still allow older apps to work without having to update them to B2C.
Password HashSync to Azure AD B2C is not supported. There are a couple of moving parts in your scenario that needs to be addressed.
The Azure AD B2C to SSO Database: You can use REST-API that Azure B2C custom policy calls from its custom policy, which acts as a broker to authenticate (username, password). Since you are using local accounts with Azure AD B2C this should work as long as your backend can authenticate the user using username/password. There is no sync needed but until the SSO database goes away you need to keep using the REST-API. Essentially, you want to use a single source of truth. This approach is similar to the pattern describe here.
On the Azure AD B2C side, you can update the password for a local user account using Microsoft Graph API. This opens up the door to update the password from your on-prem system to Azure AD B2C as needed. Of course, Azure AD B2C hash the password itself but you don't have access to it.
Either way, you need to evaluate the pros and cons.
Our organization uses Azure AD and not Microsoft AD DS .
Does OneLogin integrate with Azure active directory as a 'Directory' apart from the traditional on-prem AD DS. Is there any way to use Azure AD as a directory.
There is an Azure AD application in the applications section, can we use it to import users from Azure AD? Seems like it's an SSO app only and does not do user provisioning/syncing!
Out of desperation, I also tried the Azure AD Connect to sync to a dummy on-prem ADDS to Azure AD and then sync this dummy ADDS to OneLogin, but this seems like a very hackish way to do it and has it's own host of problems.
I'm not able to figure out how to contact support; there is no support email mentioned on the website anywhere.
Not similar to Connecting OneLogin to Azure Ad, as I am trying to add Azure Ad as a directory and the aforementioned question is about an error in federation configuration in Office 365 application of OneLogin.
Any help on this would be immensely appreciated! Thanks in advance!
After a conversation with OneLogin support, here's a few ways to achieve this paraphrased:
"We are not able to utilise Azure AD as a classic on-premise directory (such as we might use for AD synchronisation using the OneLogin Active Directory Connector) although customers who pay extra to Microsoft and have enabled LDAP are able to use our "LDAP via SSL" option although this does not allow for any customisation.
We do have plans to deliver some expanded directory offering but there is no release date for this and you can register a vote and add use-case notes for this request using our IDEAS channel. On US based systems you can use the IDEAS button available at the bottom right corner of the administration screen otherwise access https://onelogin.ideas.aha.io, select your tenant and then login. Then look at https://onelogin.ideas.aha.io/ideas/IDEAS-I-1488
If you can generate a CSV list of users in AD then you can import users using a CSV file into OneLogin - still a manual process but you may find this less complex than using the on-premise server - see https://onelogin.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0010529
The "Azure AD application in the applications section" is for going in the other direction and is for using SAML 2.0 with OneLogin as an Identity Provider and is used for Microsoft Azure AD tenancies where there is no Office 365 involved but users need access to other apps installed in Azure AD.
The other mechanism being used is to have Azure AD as a Trusted IdP and then also enable Just-In-Time provisioning. This allows the Azure AD users to authenticate to Microsoft and then have a SAML assertion sent into OneLogin and dynamically create all the required fields that the classic directory synchronisation might have allowed (see https://onelogin.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0011181)"
I decided to try Just-In-Time provisioning, will update if any blockers!
I'm wondering if anybody can share some practical experience here:
I have a client making extensive use of the OKTA identity solution for single sign-on to various cloud/web applications (both internal and external) as well as extensive provisioning options (creating users in SaaS apps, adding them to groups etc.). They also use OKTA in combination with Radius to provide MfA for Linux users setting up VPN's and for shell login on Linux (dev-ops) servers. Their sign-in to O365 / D365 is at this stage also federated via OKTA, performing SSO into on premise Active Directory.
When they implemented OKTA 2 years ago Azure AD was not yet mature enough in this area but my feeling is that it since has become mature enough to replace OKTA. We want to make use of AAD Premium for SSO and provision, the Microsoft Company Portal and Azure App Proxy for reverse proxy if internal web applications. We also want to use the NPS plugin for AAD MfA for providing MfA during Radius login requests.
In other swords we will need to make use of just about every tool in the Azure AD box to meet the various requirements imposed due to migration from OKTA (current implementation has unfortunately become a "requirement").
Does anybody have experience with migration from OKTA to AAD?
Are their any experiences with extensive use of provisioning options for SaaS apps in AAD?
Any advice, tips, experiences are welcome and much appreciated.
I am looking at Windows Azure ACS as an alternative to implementing my own username / password scheme in my app. This will be a publicly available website.
In addition to using SSO providers such as Google or Facebook, can I use Windows Azure ACS to support username/password authentication?
I see that it supports Active Directory as a provider. I am not sure this is the right thing as I have always thought of Active Directory as an "enterprise" provider.
Windows Azure ACS does not support username/password authentication in the form you need. Shahin outlined it in details.
Your options really are:
Windows Azure Active Directory (WAAD)
Identity Server (IdSVR)
While classic on-premises Active Directory deployed with a Domain Controller option is indeed quite enterprisy, WAAD is not exact copy of the same in the Cloud. I would actually recommend that you give a shot and try out. Using the WAAD Graph API you can fully automate user management in WAAD.
Your second option is based on IdSVR. This is full-featured Identity Server and Security Token Service. It is developed against the best practices in security and is quite easily extensible! While it does not provide out of the box support for user management (user registration, password reset, etc.) it is ASP.NET MVC 4 application. So you can very easily add this features yourself. There actually is an open enhancement planned for User Management API and UI.
Both WAAD and IdSVR integrate well with ACS, so you can provide seamless support for social identities along with own login.
Another service that is still in Beta/Preview is the SocialSTS project. It is kind of extension to Azure ACS and is designed to help you add more identity providers (such as LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHUB, Amazon Login, etc) to your Access Control Service.
You can authenticate directly with the ACS by using Service Identities, but they are not intended to be used for end-user authentication, as the page explains:
Service identities are not intended to be used as end-user credentials. In ACS, service identities are most commonly used in REST web service scenarios, over the OAuth WRAP protocol, where a client requests a SWT token directly from ACS to present to the web service.
I believe this is the only way to directly get a token from the ACS.
