Can anyone tell me how to pass RelayState for an IDP initiated SSO connection. We have the SSO working but would like to deep link to a page within the service provider's application. They have instructed us on the RelayState to pass but I can't figure out how to format the URL for Okta. We are using the app embedded link and would like to append RelayState to the query string.
For IdP initiated SSO (where you login to IdP first, then access SP), you can modify the RelayState under General SAML settings, like:
Note the app embed url is for IdP initiated SSO only, it shouldn't be used for SP initiated SSO as its IdP SSO URL.
When user accesses SP directly (without login to IdP first), it starts a SP initiated SSO. That's where you can append the ?RelayState=your_deep_link to the IdP SSO URL, so that after you login on IdP, it returns the deep link back to SP for you to redirect to.
And like #Thomas Kirk said, "you can find the IdP SSO URL url by clicking "View Setup Instructions" on the Sign On tab for the application in the admin console."
To start IdP initiated SAML with Okta you need to use the IdP SSO URL with ?RelayState= appended to the url, not the app embed url.
You can find the IdP SSO URL url by clicking "View Setup Instructions" on the Sign On tab for the application in the admin console.
An example (don't forget to URL encode the query string):

I am trying to integrate OKTA as service provider to provide access to the custom application for external customers.
External Users login to enterprise Idp to access the custom application
After successful authentication IDP triggers the IDP-Initiated flow and submits the SAML response to OKTA
OKTA checks for the external user information in the SAML assertion and sends these details to Custom API application to identify the user
If the user is found, the API returns the required information to OKTA
OKTA will initiate the PKCE flow to provide access to the custom application
I was success in configuring the OKTA and external customer IDP. But, Can anyone knows how OKTA will call the custom API application to identify the user information? Also, how to configure the redirect URL?
unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question as we use PingFederate but I was curious as to how you setup Okta (as the SP) to accommodate the IdP-Initiated call, without having to call back into the IdP for authentication? I ask because, as the IdP, we are calling Okta (as the SP) and the SAML response but the vendor is stating they cannot setup Okta without the IdP URL to call back into to have us, the IdP, authenticate the user. Seems your setup works how we believe it should so wanted to get more details about this.
I'm trying to use Keycloak (13.0.1) as an identity broker. I have an iOS app that uses keycloak to log in via an OIDC identity provider, and then use the token to access a spring-boot backend.
My issue is that I simply can't get the keycloak logout to also log the user out of the Identity Provider session.
I've spent days googling this and looking at both stackoverflow and the keycloak discourse page and git repo, but I couldn't find an answer to my specific issue.
Using the postman to test, the first time I click "Get New Access Token":
It successfully redirects me to the identity provider login page (I use the keycloak hint to bypass the initial keycloak login page). Pressing the button again will skip the IDP login and give me the token directly. How convenient, or so I thought...
The problem is that when I use keycloak's /logout endpoint to invalidate the refresh token:
And it successfully returns 204, when I click "Get new access token" again, it skips the login form and gives me the token directly, so there is effectively no way to logout the user and then login with a different user. The only way to bypass this is to manually click the "clear all cookies" button.
Here is my IDP configuration:
Also note that, in the keycloak admin guied it is specified that keycloak should be logging out of the IDPs when a logout is triggered, so it doesn't seem like I should be making any special configs:
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/#identity-broker-logout
IMPORTANT EDIT:
I marked this question as solved and the solution is correct, but I also needed to turn off the IDP "backchannel logout", because our corporate SSO doesn't like it. Keycloak seems to be able to log out regardless.
It successfully redirects me to the identity provider login page
That redirect is the key. It opens a browser, where Keycloak cookie is created - that is your IdP session. You have to open Keycloak /logout endpoint in the same browser, so Keycloak can clear own Keycloak cookies.
Summary: you have to open/redirect (API call doesn't work) user to the same browser to the logout endpoint (API call doesn't work) as you have used for the login. Of course this may not be case for some special flows, but it should be working for standard Authorization Code (with/without PKCE).
I am working on a web application of tech stack contains front end ReactJS and backend SpringBoot 2 Microservices. Now it's time for the SSO integration **(single sign on) using the OAM(Oracle Access Manager) using SAML2 **.
I had a discussion with OAM Team and they had given me below details
Entity ID or Issuer ID
OAM Entry Point or OAM SSO URL
X509 Certificate
Assertion consumer URL (ACS URL) which i had given to them to receive SAML Response
online i could find few SSO option with SSOCIRCLE, OKTA, ONEIDENTITY etc but couldn't find any resources with Springboot2 + SSO + OAM.
Please throw some lights or any response on how to start would be greatly appreciated.
You can start with OAM installation:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/idm/access-manager/12.2.1.4/tutorial-oam-install-oam/
Refer to the following link to understand deployment and usage in application:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/idm/access-manager/12.2.1.4/tutorial-oam-protect-wlsapp/#deploy-a-sample-application-to-weblogic-server
You have to integrate below flows
Login flow: From your web application (frontend) redirect to the Federation system endpoint (get their login endpoint), this is a browser redirect. Here 2 types of configurations options are available- Either you send the xml Metadata to them when you redirect to their portal OR
These configurations can be set at OAM manually and you only have to do a simple browser redirect. (I have tried the 2nd option).
User enters the credentials in Federation page which gets authenticated by IdP and after successful authentication the SP is notified on ACS login url. So your login url will be basically a callback url which will be called by them and they will be sending a SAML response on that callback api. Once you get a notification on your callback you need to redirect the user to your portal.
For this your callback url should set http response status code as 302 and response.headers.location as the endpoint (along with saml response) where you want the user to redirect. Take care of validating saml signature before redirecting user to your portal.
On your frontend code, you will have to check for the SAML response with windows.location.search.
These steps will redirect user back to SP portal.
Logout flow: when user clicks on SP logout button, execute your logout api and then redirect user to Federation System's logout url, browser redirection, in this case User's session will also terminate at their(SAML) end and they redirect user to SP portal.
Ensure that user's sessions (both) are in sync. For this keep idle timeout and max session timeout same at both ends.
Hope this helps.
I have a portal application developed using spring security and mvc framework. This portal application connects to IDP (Developed using Spring security and spring saml) for authentication. if the user authentication is success,user will be navigated to homepage where multiple links are provided for external applications… When the user clicks on the application link, user should successfully navigated to the respective application without challenging login page.
Other applications are developed using struts and spring security. How do I make sure that when a link is clicked from the portal, either saml token or context is passed to other application so it will not ask for login.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The most common flow for SAML is something like the following:
Application (called service provider, or SP) receives request (any request, like request for a business resource) from unauthenticated user
It redirects the user (most commonly via http redirect) to the IdP (in which the SP should already be registered)
If the user is not authenticated to the IdP (not logged in to SSO), a login form is presented and login is managed by the IdP until there is a user session with the IdP
If the user is already authenticated with the IdP (because either he was already or entered a correct user/password), the IdP issues its claim token and posts the user with the token back to the Assertion Consumer Service in the SP (the original application)
The Assertion Consumer Service (practically just an API endpoint) receives and validates the SAML token and creates an own application session with the user. Now the user is authenticated to the application (SP)
Upon the next request to the application (SP), there is already a session, so SAML is not involved
Note that if there is already a session with the IdP, all of this is seamless for the user. A bunch of redirects take place, but the user will just reach the application without entering credentials.
So the short answer to your question is that your external applications need to support SAML SSO and need to be registered with the identity provider, in which case they can just use the IdP for authenticating the user and signing the claims it may have.
I had a requirement to implement spring security saml implementation.
And I want to connect to IDP(Identity Provider) to authenticate without using IDp's login page. In my case, I want to use Service Provider (login page)..
Is this possible? If yes how to achieve this?
You can try with WSO2IS with request path authenticators which validates user credentials comes from SP login request. If you take SAML2 SSO scenario, SP can send SAML2 Auth request using POST binding to IDP. In the same request SP can send the end user's credentials that is retrieved from the login page of SP application. Then you would not see the login page in IDP and credential are retrieved from auth request and validates with IDP's user store. If success SAML2 response is generated. You can take help from this link.
This is not really a good idea since by definition, the service provider is not supposed to authenticate users, that is the IDP's responsibility.
If you are concerned about branding.. you may be able to request the IDP to personalise their login page if your SP has requested authentication although it is slightly unlikely that they will agree to this.
