Configuring Single Sign-On for WSO2 DAS

SSO (Single Sign-On) allows you to be authenticated to access one application, and gain access to multiple other applications without having to repeatedly provide your credentials for authentication purposes.

To configure SSO for the WSO2 DAS Portal and the WSO2 DAS Management Console, follow the instructions given below:

Prerequisites

In order to configure SSO for WSO2 DAS, WSO2 IS should be downloaded and installed.

To download this product, go to the WSO2 Identity Server home page.

For detailed instructions, see WSO2 Identity Server Documentation - Installation Prerequisites.

Step 1: Share a user store between WSO2 DAS and WSO2 IS

Follow the procedure below to share a user store between WSO2 DAS and WSO2 IS.

Create a new database named DAS_UM_DB in MYSQL server.
Create tables inside the DAS_UM_DB database by executing the script in the <DAS_HOME>/dbscripts/mysql.sql.

Define a datasource as follows in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file. This allows you to connect to the DAS_UM_DB in order to share the user store.

   <datasource>  
      <name>WSO2UM_DB</name>  
      <description>The datasource used for user manager database</description>  
      <jndiConfig>  
        <name>jdbc/WSO2UM_DB</name>  
      </jndiConfig>  
       <definition type="RDBMS">  
         <configuration>  
           <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DAS_UM_DB</url>  
            <username>username</username>  
            <password>password</password>  
            <driverClassName>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverClassName>  
            <maxActive>50</maxActive>  
            <maxWait>60000</maxWait>  
            <testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow>  
            <validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>  
            <validationInterval>30000</validationInterval>  
         </configuration>  
     </definition>  
   </datasource>

Add the same datasource configuration given in the previous step to the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file.
Download the MySQL database driver and copy it to the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/lib and the <DAS_HOME>/repository/components/lib directories.
Update the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file with the jndiConfig name added in step3 (i.e., jdbc/WSO2UM_DB) as shown below. Do the same update in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file.
```
 <configuration>   
     ...  
     <Property name="dataSource">jdbc/WSO2UM_DB</Property>  
   </configuration>  
```

Copy the following JDBC user store configuration that can be found in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file to the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file. Remove the LDAP user store configuration available by default in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file.

        <UserStoreManager class="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager">
            <Property name="TenantManager">org.wso2.carbon.user.core.tenant.JDBCTenantManager</Property>
            <Property name="ReadOnly">false</Property>
            <Property name="ReadGroups">true</Property>
            <Property name="WriteGroups">true</Property>
            <Property name="UsernameJavaRegEx">^[\S]{3,30}$</Property>
            <Property name="UsernameJavaScriptRegEx">^[\S]{3,30}$</Property>
            <Property name="UsernameJavaRegExViolationErrorMsg">Username pattern policy violated</Property>
            <Property name="PasswordJavaRegEx">^[\S]{5,30}$</Property>
            <Property name="PasswordJavaScriptRegEx">^[\S]{5,30}$</Property>
            <Property name="PasswordJavaRegExViolationErrorMsg">Password length should be within 5 to 30 characters</Property>
            <Property name="RolenameJavaRegEx">^[\S]{3,30}$</Property>
            <Property name="RolenameJavaScriptRegEx">^[\S]{3,30}$</Property>
            <Property name="CaseInsensitiveUsername">true</Property>
            <Property name="SCIMEnabled">false</Property>
            <Property name="IsBulkImportSupported">true</Property>
            <Property name="PasswordDigest">SHA-256</Property>
            <Property name="StoreSaltedPassword">true</Property>
            <Property name="MultiAttributeSeparator">,</Property>
            <Property name="MaxUserNameListLength">100</Property>
            <Property name="MaxRoleNameListLength">100</Property>
            <Property name="UserRolesCacheEnabled">true</Property>
            <Property name="UserNameUniqueAcrossTenants">false</Property>
        </UserStoreManage

Restart both WSO2 DAS and WSO2 IS servers.

Step 2: Mount and share a registry between WSO2 DAS and WSO2 IS

Follow the procedure below to share a registry between WSO2 DAS and WSO2 IS.

Create a new database named DAS_REG_DB in the MySQL server.
Create tables in the database you created by executing the script in the <DAS_HOME>/dbscripts/mysql.sql directory.

Define a datasource as follows in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file. This allows you to connect to the DAS_REG_DB that you previously created.

 <datasource>   
     <name>WSO2REG_DB</name>   
     <description>The datasource used for registry database</description>   
     <jndiConfig>   
       <name>jdbc/WSO2REG_DB</name>   
     </jndiConfig>   
     <definition type="RDBMS">   
       <configuration>   
         <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DAS_REG_DB</url>   
         <username>username</username>   
         <password>password</password>   
         <driverClassName>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverClassName>   
         <maxActive>50</maxActive>   
         <maxWait>60000</maxWait>   
         <testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow>   
         <validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>   
         <validationInterval>30000</validationInterval>   
       </configuration>   
     </definition>   
   </datasource>

Add the same datasource configuration provided in the above step to the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file.
Download the MySQL database driver from here and copy it to both the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/lib and the <DAS_HOME>/repository/components/lib directories.

Create the registry mounts by adding the following configuration to both the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/registry.xml file and the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/registry.xml file.

<dbConfig name="govregistry">
   <dataSource>jdbc/WSO2REG_DB</dataSource>
</dbConfig>
  
<remoteInstance url="https://localhost">
   <id>gov</id>
   <dbConfig>govregistry</dbConfig>
   <readOnly>false</readOnly>
   <enableCache>true</enableCache>
   <registryRoot>/</registryRoot>
</remoteInstance>
  
<mount path="/_system/governance" overwrite="true">
   <instanceId>gov</instanceId>
   <targetPath>/_system/governance</targetPath>
</mount>
  
<mount path="/_system/config" overwrite="true">
   <instanceId>gov</instanceId>
   <targetPath>/_system/config</targetPath>
</mount>

Restart both the WSO2 DAS server and the WSO2 IS server.

Step 3: Create a service provider for WSO2 DAS Management Console

Follow the procedure below to configure a service provider for the WSO2 DAS Management Console. A service provider represents an external application from which a service is obtained. In this scenario, the service provider you create provides an authentication service. For more information about service providers, see WSO2 Identity Server Documentation - Configuring a Service Provider.

Access the WSO2 IS Management Console using the following URL, and log in using your credentials.
https://<IS_HOST>:<IS_PORT>/carbon/

Click Main => Service Providers => Add to open the Add New Service Provider page. Enter the following details, and click Register to register a new service provider.

Parameter	Value
Service Provider Name	`DAS_SSO_CARBON_SERVER`
Description	Single Sign-On for DAS Management Console.
SaaS Application	Select this check box. This makes the web application represented by the service provider accessible for all the users of all the tenants connected to the service provider.

In the Service Providers page, expand the Inbound Authentication Configuration section. Then expand the SAML2 Web SSO Configuration section and click Configure. This opens the Register New Service Provider page.
Enter information as follows.
Parameter Value
Issuer carbonServer
Assertion Consumer URL https://<DAS_URL>:<DAS_PORT>/acs
Enable Response Signing Select this check box.
Enable Single Logout Select this check box.
Expand the Local and Outbound Authentication Configuration section, and select the Use tenant domain in local subject identifier check box. This appends the tenant domain to the local subject identifier and allows the tenant domains of the application users to be identified.
Click Update to save these changes. A message appears to confirm that the service provider is successfully added.

Step 4: Create a service provider for WSO2 DAS Portal

Follow the procedure below to configure a service provider for the WSO2 DAS Portal. A service provider represents an external application from which a service is obtained. In this scenario, the service provider you create provides an authentication service. For more information about service providers, see WSO2 Identity Server Documentation - Configuring a Service Provider.

Log into the WSO2 IS Management Console if you are not already logged in.

Click Main => Service Providers => Add to open the Add New Service Provider page. Enter the following details, and click Register to register a new service provider.

Parameter	Value
Service Provider Name	DAS_SSO_PORTAL
Description	Single Sign-On for DAS Portal.
SaaS Application	Select this check box. This makes the web application represented by the service provider accessible for all the users of all the tenants connected to the service provider.

In the Service Providers page, expand the Inbound Authentication Configuration section. Then expand the SAML2 Web SSO Configuration section and click Configure. This opens the Register New Service Provider page.

Enter information as follows.

Parameter	Value
Issuer	`portal`
Assertion Consumer URL	`https://<DAS_URL>:<DAS_PORT>/portal/acs`

Enable Audience Restriction	Select this check box and add the following two audiences. Token endpoint url (eg: `https://<IDP_URL>:<IDP_PORT>/oauth2/token)` Management console issuer name (i.e. `carbonServer`)
Enable Recipient Validation	Select this check box and add the token endpoint URL as a recipient (e.g., `https://<IDP_URL>:<IDP_PORT>/oauth2/token`).

Expand the Local and Outbound Authentication Configuration section, and select the Use tenant domain in local subject identifier check box. This appends the tenant domain to the local subject identifier. This allows the tenant domains of the application users to be identified.
Click Update to save these changes. A message appears to confirm that the service provider is successfully added.

Step 5: Update the SAML2SSOAuthenticator configuration

This step is carried out in order to connect the service provider you created as an authenticator for WSO2 DAS. Follow the procedure below to update the authenticators.xml file with the information required.

Open the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/security/authenticators.xml file.
Enable the required authenticator by setting disabled="false" as shown in the example below.
```
<Authenticator name="SAML2SSOAuthenticator" disabled="true">
```

Configure the following parameters for the same authenticator that you enabled in the previous step.

Parameter	Value
`ServiceProviderID`	`carbonServer` This should be the ID of the service provider you created in Step 3.
`IdentityProviderSSOServiceURL`	`https://<IDP_URL>:<IDP_PORT>/samlsso`
`AssertionConsumerServiceURL`	`https://<DAS_URL>:<DAS_PORT>/acs`

Save the changes.

Step 6: Update the authentication configuration

Follow the procedure below in order to specify SSO as the currently active authentication method for WSO2 DAS.

Open the <DAS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/configs/designer.json file.
