How do I create a user in AD and Okta? - okta

How do I automatically create a user in Active Directory, at the same time as creating the user in Okta. Is there an API/SDK to do this ?

You can use the Create User call to create a User in Okta. Additionally, you can add this user to a group.
Upon membership in this specific group which should be configured with AD as the provisioning target, the group members are provisioned in AD (or any other application as per configuration).

Provide access to a third party app using Azure AD

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.

Reading the emails of all users using Microsoft Graph API by creating an app with Application Level 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

Keycloak role mapping

I have a spring boot application secured with keycloak. Each user in realm has roles for my resource (client). Roles are configuraed on users tab, for particular user under Role Mapping tab as Client Roles:
I also use integration with LDAP Active Directory, from which all the users came from. Now, if I want to add specific role for Active Directory (AD) group, I have to go to active directory, get all users for particular group and add desierd role via keycloak api in separeate application, which is extremly bad logic.
In previous version of keycloak (5.0.1) it had Script Mapper on javascript that could get Active Directory groups and map them into roles for a particular client. In the latest version 8.0.1 it has no such mapper.
I wonder, is there any mapper or other ability in latest version of Keycloak to map AD groups to resource roles. So, I could say that group_name has role user for client_name and role user appeared in keycloak token under resource_access.client_name.roles list
You can achieve what you want by following these steps:
Go to "Groups" on the left menu
Select the group
Using the "Role Mappings" tab, choose which client role should be assigned to members of that group.

How can I easily add others to update my G Suite App listing?

I've looked all over the admin console, but can't find where to add other users so that they can edit our listing. Can you please provide a URL/link to where I should navigate?
You may want to check this support page. You can:
assign pre-built roles for performing common business tasks
assign custom roles you create for your organization
assign more than one role to a user to grant all privileges in those roles
Be noted that you must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.
The user typically gets their new privileges within a few minutes. However, it can take up to 24 hours. When they sign in to their account, they arrive at the Admin console dashboard. Here they see the controls allowed by their privileges.
Hope this helps!
I think you want to navigate to this URL while logged in as the app project owner:
https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam/project?project=(add your project ID)
And assign roles to different users or groups.
you can use group publishing on the gsuite marketplace:
Set up Group Publishing
You can share ownership of your items in Google Chrome Web Store with other developers by setting up group publishing. With group publishing, you can add developers to a Google Group, who can then act on your behalf. They'll have access to all the items you own and can make any changes to them that you can make.
https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/publish#set-up-group-publishing
(each member of the group should pay the 5$ developer fee though.)
You can configure the group from your webstore dashboard.

How to mark api-created Okta users as being provided by Active Directory

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?
