I've installed a third party app on an AWS EC2 instance. The requirement is when user clicks the web url of this application, user should be authenticated using organization's Azure AD. Since it's a third party app I can not integrate Azure AD with it in the code. Any suggestions on how it can be achieved are welcome. I'm trying out AWS cognito service but so far it didn't work.
Please check if you have followed the steps below and if anything was missed.
Version of Azure AD- free won’t support the onboarding of enterprise apps. So we need to upgrade Azure AD.
Go to enterprise application>new application>non-gallery
application>activate for enterprise account (which is minimum
requirement ,can select premium also)>give AWS app name.
Go to single sign-on by opening the application in azure >choose the
SAML option >Download federation metadata XML as shown below.
Then go to AWS management console>>Enable AWS SSO(Only certain
regions are available to enable SSO,please check that).
Choose the identity source
Change the identity provider>>select external identity
provider>download AWS SSO SAML metadata file which can be used later
in azure side.
In IdP SAML metadata>insert the azure federation metadata file which
is downloaded previously from azure and then review and confirm .
Now go to azure portal where you previously previously created aws app name>Go to single sign on >Upload metadata file>select the file which we previously downloaded from the aws portal>click on add>then click save on basic SAML configuration.
Say yes to test sso if pop up for testing appears.
Now we can provide automatic provisioning.When new user is created in azure AD ,then it must flow in AWS SSO .We can make few users a part of AD group in order to try signin from users.
Now go to AWS Portal and click on >Enable automatic provisioning.Copy
SCIM Endpoint and access token .Go to azure side in the app
provisioning>>Select automatic in provisioning mode>>Then paste the the SCIM end point in Tenant URL and accesstoken>click on Test connection and save the configuration.
Then go for mappings >select Synchronize AAD users to custom app
sso>leave default settings>You can select required attributes
-select beside externalID mailnickname and change the Source attribute to ObjectId(choosing the unique ID on AD side to flow in
AWS)>Also edit mail>change source attribute to userprincipalname.
I. Ensure the user only has one value for phoneNumber/email
II. Remove the duplicate attributes. For example, having two different
attributes being mapped from Azure AD both mapped to
"phoneNumber_____" would result in the error if both attributes in
Azure AD have values. Only having one attribute mapped to a
"phoneNumber____ " attribute would resolve the error.
Now go ahead and map users and groups
Search for groups in portal and add groups >Security type>give a
group name ,description and membership type as assigned>click on create.
Create two or more groups in the same way if needed ,After that
these groups are to be filled with particular users for particular
group .
Now create few users .For that Search for users in portal>new user>give name >add the user to one of the created groups and assign .
After creating users and groups , go to users and groups in your
enterprise app(recommended to select groups rather than individual
and then delete unwanted users)
Go back to provisioning and make the provision status as ON.
Now do the mapping of AD group to access certain AWS accounts by
giving permission sets.
Go to permission sets and select the group or users . You can give
existing job functional access or you can create custom policies .
Now go to settings in AWS portal copy the url and open the page of
the url which redirects to the signin. Give the user credentials and
access is possibleas per the given permissions.

I'm trying to create an app within the Azure app management portal that will serve as a template to be used with any tenant. Basically what we are trying to do, is create a connector that will be approved using admin consent, and receive application level permissions to read all the emails in the organization using Graph API.
What I have managed to do so far is create an app within our own tenant and get application level permissions for this tenant only. This enabled me to successfully read all emails in my organization only (which is not possible using delegated permissions).
What is the right way to receive application level permissions for any tenant, using admin consent? Is the only way to do it, for the specific tenant to manually add an application that will receive admin consent?
I am using django with the social_core module.
Something does not add up...
Thanks.
You can register a single application (with a single client ID and set of credentials that you control), configure the permissions you desire/require, and then customers from different tenants can each grant admin consent for your application, in their own tenant.
If your application/service does not have a sign-in experience (i.e. it is exclusively used as a background service and users never sign in to it), you can construct the admin consent URL, such as:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/v2.0/adminconsent
?client_id={client_id}&scope=.default&redirect_uri={your_redirect_url}
You can read more about the admin consent endpoint at: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-admin-consent
I have a custom application for internal use only where currently users are created by a super admin. Some of the users are from within the business and some external e.g. suppliers/customers.
I'm looking for a way to integrate MS Active Directory as a login option but want to be able to restrict which users from the business can actually use this method.
I have search through all the MS docs and have all the documentation on the different oauth approaches but not sure which one would be suitable for my needs.
I am thinking that perhaps i need to give the admin a way to browse the AD and select the users that can login which then creates inactive user accounts in the mysql database with some sort of MS user ID. Then provide a 'Sign in with MS' button that does the usual auth redirection process to MS and back to the site. At that point I can check an ID and if that matches an allowed user account and if so, sync the rest of the data e.g. name, email, phone etc..

Your first order of business is enabling a user to sign in to the Laravel-based app. For this, I strongly recommend not trying to re-invent the wheel (at least not completely), and make use of an existing Laravel package. Laravel Socialite is probably the best place to start, since it has a long list of existing community-provided Socialite providers, including three which work with Azure AD already: Microsoft, Microsoft-Graph and Microsoft-Azure. (Note: Though I haven't tested any of these myself, the first two seem to be the most promising, as they use the newer v2 endpoint.)
When it comes to authorization (controlling access), you have two options:
Control at Azure AD
Once you've got the app integrated with Azure AD, you can configure the app in Azure AD to require user assignment, and then control access to the app by assigning (or not) users to the app. Users who are not assigned won't even make it past the sign-in page.
You can use Azure AD's existing experiences for managing user and role assignment for the app, or you could go all-out and build this experience directly into the Laravel-based app itself, making use of the Azure AD Graph API to create the [app role assignments](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/ad/graph/api/entity-and-complex-type-reference#approleassignment-entity and user picker experience.
Hint: In either case, remember that you can make the app "superuser" an "owner" of the app in Azure AD (Azure AD > Enterprise apps > (app) > Owners), which will allow them to assign users without needing to give them any additional privileges in Azure AD.
Control at the app
In this approach, you allow all users to sign in to the app with Azure AD, but then you use your app's own authorization logic to decide who makes it any further, and what roles they get in the app.
In reality, you will most likely find the best approach is to use a combination of the two, with some of the authorization enforced by Azure AD and the next level enforced by the app itself.
If you would do it in this way, it will be necessary that the super-admin has always this permissions in the AAD. From my point of view it is less practical.
I would perfer such app-assigments with help of Service Principal. You assign a role (look for app roles) to the user and then your business logic must decide which permissions the user has. If you would use the app roles feature, then you can restrict access to the role with it's help. All the user can login, but only users with a specific role would be able to see a content of the app.
I hope this hints can help to find a right direction, but there is no silver bullet solution... :/
I created a new Service Account in Cloud Project, and want to restrict this account's permission to only use one specific Google API listed here.
Lets say my application using this service account should only be allowed to use "Google Analytics API". If possible, further limited to use subset of API requests (for ex. analytics.management.customMetrics.list, analytics.management.filters.insert etc.
I tried to create custom Role, but when I try to add necessary Permission, I don't see me desired permissions listed in that list... (attach screenshot)
How can I restrict this Service Account permissions to specific APIs?
Also,
does it make any difference creating new project in
https://console.developers.google.com/ or in
https://console.cloud.google.com/ ? I san see a project in both places
anyways...
In your case because you are using the Google Analytics API, there is an additional step where you need to add the Service Account to your Google Analytics account. If the Service Account is not added then it won't have access to the resources inside of Google Analytics.
See "1. Enable the API" in the following link:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-py
Add service account to the Google Analytics account
The newly created
service account will have an email address that looks similar to:
quickstart#PROJECT-ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
Use this email address
to add a user to the Google analytics view you want to access via the
API. For this tutorial only Read & Analyze permissions are needed.
See the following for some guidance on managing users in Google Analytics

We’re currently running the Okta Active Directory agent in order to import our users into Okta.
I'd like to replace this with a custom built process that imports users into a new internal database, for other user-management-related activities, whilst also adding those users to Okta.
Creating the user in Okta is easy, but I also need to get the user's "provider" set to ACTIVE_DIRECTORY, so that Okta delegates authentication to Active Directory.
The documentation (http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/users.html#provider-object) says that the User's Provider field is read-only.
How can I set it?
While you cannot directly manipulate the credential object you can leverage other features available to achieve the desired result.
Create a group in Okta and configure it as a directory provisioning group. From the designated group select 'Manage Directories' add the desired Directory and follow the wizard to completion.
Add the created users to the group (using the API)
You unfortunately cannot set this property as we do not allow the creation of Active Directory users through the public API at this point.
If the purpose of the new process is simply to enrich the user's profile, can't you not achieve this by letting the AD agent sync the users and enrich the profile directly through the API?
I have two applications which access my users' calendars via a service account. Until today everything was working fine and out of a sudden one of the app cannot get a grant token. I read that this may be due to the same service account being used simultaneously (which was the case for a year but never mind) so I decided to
create a second service account
and authorize it to access the calendars
I created the service account in the Google Developers Console -> API Manager -> Credentials.
The console now looks like this:
Service account client 1 is the original service account which was working for both apps and now works for one of them only. The ga... account is the newly created one.
In order to get the ClientID I went (on the same page) to "Manage service accounts" and I get this:
The newly created account does not offer the possibility to check its ClientID. Why?
The ClientID is also available in the JSON file downloaded upon creation. I extracted it from there and tried to authorize the access in my GApps Security console:
As you can see it was refused.
What part did I miss when creating this second account?
Found it:
and after checking the checkbox below both accounts look the same, the ClientID is available and it can be authorized in the GApps console.
