SAML integration	Learn how to use SAML to link a UCP team with an Identity Provider (IdP) Group	cluster, node, join

SAML integration

Typical steps involved in SAML integration:

Configure IdP.
Enable SAML and configure UCP as the Service Provider in Admin Settings -> Authentication and Authorization.
Create (Edit) Teams to link with the Group memberships. This updates team membership information when a user signs in with SAML.

Configure IdP:

Service Provider metadata is available at https://<SP Host>/enzi/v0/saml/metadata after SAML is enabled. The metadata link is also labeled as entityID.

Note: Only POST binding is supported for the 'Assertion Consumer Service', which is located at https://<SP Host>/enzi/v0/saml/acs.

Enable SAML and configure UCP

After UCP sends an AuthnRequest to the IdP, the following Assertion is expected:

Subject includes a NameID that is identified as the UCP username. In AuthnRequest, NameIDFormat is set to urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified. This allows maximum compatibility for various Identity Providers.

<saml2:Subject>
    <saml2:NameID Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified">ry4nz</saml2:NameID>
    <saml2:SubjectConfirmation Method="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:cm:bearer">
        <saml2:SubjectConfirmationData NotOnOrAfter="2018-09-10T20:04:48.001Z" Recipient="https://18.237.224.122/enzi/v0/saml/acs"/>
    </saml2:SubjectConfirmation>
</saml2:Subject>

Optional Attribute named fullname is mapped to the Full Name field in the UCP account.

Note: UCP uses the value of the first occurrence of an Attribute with Name="fullname" as the Full Name.

<saml2:Attribute Name="fullname" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
    <saml2:AttributeValue
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xs:string">user.displayName
    </saml2:AttributeValue>
</saml2:Attribute>

Optional Attribute named member-of is linked to the UCP team. Values are set in the UCP interface.

Note: UCP uses all AttributeStatements and Attributes in the Assertion with Name="member-of".

<saml2:Attribute Name="member-of" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
    <saml2:AttributeValue
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xs:string">groupName
    </saml2:AttributeValue>
</saml2:Attribute>

Optional Attribute named is-admin determines if the user is an administrator. The content in the AttributeValue is ignored.

<saml2:Attribute Name="is-admin" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
    <saml2:AttributeValue
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xs:string">value_doe_not_matter
    </saml2:AttributeValue>
</saml2:Attribute>

Okta Configuration

Configuring with Okta is straightforward, as shown in the following examples:

When two or more group names are expected to return with the Assertion, use the regex filter. For example, use the value apple|orange to return groups apple and orange.

Service Provider Configuration

Enter the Identity Provider's metadata URL to obtain its metadata. To access the URL, you might need to provide the CA certificate that can verify the remote server.

Link Group memeberships with users

Use the 'edit' or 'create' team dialog to associate SAML group assertion with the UCP team so that user team membership is synchronized when the user logs in.
