When we look to OpenidConnect flows, your solution does not match with.
It's to The identity provider should make this EndUser Authentication with LDAP Directory , not the Relaying Party. "mod_auth_openidc" play the role of a Relaying Party not an Identity Provider.
Can you please tell me what do you think ?
Apache2 Reverse Proxy with authentication over OpenID Connect and authorization over ldap
The use case is that the Relying Party may choose to apply authorization rules based on locally stored data such as application roles to grant permission to protected resources to a user who was authenticated against a 3rd-party Identity Provider.

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 implemented web APIs using ado.net and uploaded in hosting, but those web APIs are not secured, anyone can access without login, and now I want to secure them with the role-based authentication how can I secure? I want to do that only a login user can access them.
You can protect your api with token authentication ,In order to acquire a token user would have have to first login in the authentication server ,acquire a token and then call the api.You can assign roles to the user so that the roles are included in token and can be validated when the token validation occurs at api level.
You can use identity server as an identity provider if you dont have a identity provider set up.
As far as my understanding goes, OpenID uses accounts made on other websites to sign in to the website, so that user won't have to create multiple username and password.
Does OPENAM not to do the same thing? It uses providers like Facebook google in order to authenticate the user.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
OpenID Connect is a standard.
OpenAM is a product that amongst many other things, implements the OpenID Connect standard (both as a client/relying party and as a server/provider).
So, yes, you can configure your OpenAM to work with external OpenID Connect providers to establish sessions at OpenAM, but you can just as well configure your OpenAM to perform authentication against a local directory server and act as an OpenID Connect provider (like Facebook/Google/etc).
Above you mention scenario is Single Sign On (SSO). It provide OpenID-Connect with Oauth.
OpenID is a protocol(Standard).
OpenID Connect is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0
protocol.
OAuth only provide authorization using an access token. OpenID-Connect is built on top of OAuth2, in order to provide user authentication information.
Not only OpenID Connect whether we can used SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) for Single Sign On.Name it
SAML SSO.
OpenAM is a product and below Link you can read OpenAM feature Wikipedia OpenAM page and additionally you can used another open source Identity Server Name WSO2 Identity Server for implement this feature and there are more additional features as well.
I understand ACS is being phased out in favor of WAAD. As I prepare to delve into Azure for the first time I have a few questions. I already have an Azure account (linked with my MSDN account).
Under ACS, I would create a namespace for my application, configure it with Idps and claims mapping. I would point my application (a RESTful API via WebAPI2) to the ACS federation endpoint for my namespace.
Under WAAD, I've seen where I can add my own application. When I create the new application, is this creating a tenant in my directory? I dont see where I can register my Idp's and configure the Idp's for my relying party. In addition to authenticating via social networks (like facebook/google/etc), I'm going to want to write a custom Idp to hit against my on-premesis user store. Is this possible in WAAD? Finally when creating the application (tenant) in WAAD, its prompting me for a Signon URL. Isn't WAAD supposed to manage the signon, the way it did under ACS? when I defended a website via ACS, the user was redirected to the ACS sign in page, where they could choose from a list of Idp's for login. Why then, under WAAD, do I, the app developer, need to code a sign on page? I'm pretty confused about this.
WAAD does not replace ACS. WAAD is a single identity provider (IdP), whereas ACS can act as a Security Token Service (STS) for multiple IdPs, but is not itself an IdP. Think of ACS more as a broker that has taken some of the work out of integrating with some of the common identity providers out there (Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Live, etc) so that you as the application developer can code to one interface instead of multiple.
My suggestion would be to continue to use ACS as your single point of contact for federated identities and add WAAD as an additional IdP to those applications in your suite that require it. This is a pattern we follow in a number of our applications where we use ACS as the main STS and then expose one or more of the IdPs to an application depending on our needs.
As to your question about a custom IdP pointing to an on premise user store you might consider using Thinktecture Identity Server instead of rolling your own. You can expose Thinktecture Identity Server from ACS just as you would any other IdP in your suite.
Can someone explain what a relying party trust is. I am configuring IFD for CRM but I cannot find basic information on what a relying party is and what is does?
The way I would describe this is that CRM is the relying party, it is relying on ADFS to check the claims that are made ("I claim that I am userX").
In ADFS you configure a relying party trust to tell ADFS where it can expect claims to come from - it will trust the relying party so that when a user is authenticated they can be redirected back to that application (you don't want to give a user a token to present to an application you do not trust).
ADFS allows federation which comprises two sides viz. the IDP (Claims Provider) (the owner of the identity repository - in this case AD) and the RP (Relying Party) which is another STS or application that wishes to outsource authentication to the IDP.
Trusts are handled via certificates based on the ownership of private keys e.g. SAML tokens are signed by the IDP.
So the RP trust is the trust between the RP and the IDP - a token signed by the IDP must originate from the IDP and therefore the claims inside the token can be trusted.
