/wiki/spaces/E2D/pages/29982926  /  Single Sign-On and MFA  /  Configuring SSO Connections  /  Identity Provider Connections  /  Current: Configuring ADFS 2 as an Identity Provider

The EmpowerID SSO framework allows you to configure Identity Provider (IdP) SSO connections for third-party identity providers that support the use of WS-Federation for identity transactions. In this way, you can offer users the ability to authenticate to EmpowerID using the credentials from any WS-Federation application in which you establish a trust relationship.

This topic demonstrates how to configure an SSO connection for WS-Federation Identity Provider applications by creating an SSO connection for AD FS 2

Users can use ADFS as their Identity Provider to authenticate themselves to EmpowerID. This topic demonstrates how to setup EmpowerID as Service Provider in ADFS and is divided into the following activities:

  • Registering EmpowerID as a Service Provider (Relying Party application) in AD FS 2ADFS
  • Adding the ADFS Certificates to the appropriate certificate stores on the EmpowerID Web server
  • Creating a WS-Fed Connection for AD FS 2 ADFS in EmpowerID
  • Testing the AD FS 2 SSO ADSF connection


Info

Prerequisites- As a prerequisite to creating an SSO Connection for AD FS 2.0configuring ADFS as an Identity Provider for EmpowerID, you must install the AD FS ADFS role service on your EmpowerID server. For information on installing the AD FS ADFS role service, see Microsoft's topic a tat https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/deployment/install-the-ad-fs-role-service.

Once the SSO Connection IdP connections has been set up for AD FSADFS, you can create a link similar to the one below to allow users to login to EmpowerID using AD FSADFS.

Warning

Be sure to replace "sso.empowersso.com" with the FQDN of the EmpowerID Web server in your environment and ADFS with the name of the SSO connection you create for AD FS ADFS in EmpowerID.




To register EmpowerID as a

Relying Party

Service Provider application in

AD FS 2

ADFS

  1. On the server with the ADFS installation, open the AD FS 2 ADFS management console.
  2. From the AD FS 2 ADFS management console, expand the Trust Relationships node, right-click Relying Party Trusts and select Add Relying Party Trust from the context menu.

  3. From the General tab of the Connection Details form, select Identity Provider as the Connection Type.




  4. In the Connection Details section of the form do the following:
    1. Type an appropriate name, display name and description for the connection in the Name,Display Name and Description fields, respectively.
    2. In theTile Image URLfield, type ~/Resources/Content/Images/Logos/ADFS2Logo.png. This tells EmpowerID the relative location of the logo that is to be placed on the ADFS 2 login tile for any domains associated with the connection.In the Initiating URL field, type 
    3. Select the previously inventoried Account Directory for your ADFS Server and click Save to create the WS Federation Connection.
    4. Enter the EmpowerID Relying Party Trust Identifier in ADFS as the Realm in EmpowerID, i.e. https://sso.empoweridempowersso.com/WebIdPWSFederation/SignIn, replacing sso.empowerid.com with the FQDN or resolvable DNS alias of an EmpowerID Web server in your environment.
    5. In the External IdP URL field, type the value of the WS-Federation Sign-In Endpoint for ADFS. This value should be similar to fs.tdnfdemo.com/adfs/ls/ where "fs.tdnfdemo.com" is the FQDN or resolvable DNS of the ADFS server with which you are federating.
    6. In the Realm field, type base URL for your EmpowerID Web server, such as "https://sso.empowerid.com", where "sso.empowerid.com" is the FQDN or resolvable DNS of your EmpowerID server.
    7. In the Map To Account Claim Type field, type ACS
    8. Enter the ADFS passive endpoint as the External IDP URL, i.e. https://empowersso.com/adfs/ls, assuming com is your ADFS server.
    9. Enterhttp://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name. This specifies that EmpowerID look for the Name attribute in the token sent to it by ADFS.
      When you have completed the above, the General section of the form should look similar to the following image:
      Image Removed
    In the Account Information section of the form, choose whether to create an new account directory for the connection or select an existing account directory from which to add accounts for the connection. If you choose to create a new account directory, EmpowerID creates a special type of account store internal to EmpowerID, known as a "tracking-only" account store. A tracking-only account store account exists as a container within EmpowerID for storing user and group records for SSO or attestation without making a connection to the external directory associated with the application. Opting to create a new account directory is advantageous in that doing so creates a one-to-one correlation between the account store and the connection. In our example, we are creating a new account directory.

  5. Click the Domains tab. From this tab, you can select the domains in which you want a login tile for ADFS to appear to users as a login option for accessing your EmpowerID site.
  6. From the Domains tab, click the Add (+) button in the Assigned Domains section.

  7. Click Save to close the Add Domain dialog and then click the Save button on the form to save the WS-Fed connection.
Now that you created the SSO connection for ADFS, you can test the connection as demonstrated below
    1. in the Map To Account Claim Type field or specified the Identity Claim Type as appropriate.
    2. Enter https://sso.empowersso.com/WebIdPWSFederation/SignIn in the Initiating URL field.
