ASP.NET Core SAML Middleware Single Sign-On (SSO)

2. Configure your identity provider

• Under the Plugin Settings tab, select your identity provider from the list shown.

There are two ways detailed below with which you can get the SAML SP metadata to configure onto your identity provider end.

A] Using SAML metadata URL or metadata file:

• In the Plugin Settings menu, look for Service Provider Settings. Under that, you can find the metadata URL as well as the option to download the SAML metadata.
• Copy metadata URL or download the metadata file to configure the same on your identity provider end.
• You may refer to the screenshot below:

B] Uploading metadata manually:

• From the Service Provider Settings section, you can manually copy the service provider metadata like SP Entity ID, ACS URL, Single Logout URL and share it with your identity provider for configuration.
• You may refer to the screenshot below:

3. Configure ASP.NET Core SAML Middleware as Service Provider

There are two ways detailed below with which you can configure your SAML identity provider metadata in the middleware.

A] Upload metadata using the Upload IDP Metadata button:

• If your identity provider has provided you with the metadata URL or metadata file (.xml format only), then you can simply configure the identity provider metadata in the middleware using the Upload IDP Metadata option.
• You may refer to the screenshot below:

• You can choose any one of the options according to the metadata format you have available.

B] Configure the identity provider metadata manually:

• After configuring your Identity Provider, it will provide you with IDP Entity ID, IDP Single Sign On URL and SAML X509 Certificate fields respectively.
• Click Save to save your IDP details.

4. Testing SAML SSO

• Click on the Test Configuration button to test whether the SAML Configuration you’ve done is correct.
• The screenshot below shows a successful result. Click on SSO Integration to further continue with the SSO Integration.

• If you are experiencing any error on the middleware end you’ll be shown with the window similar to below.

• To troubleshoot the error you can follow the below steps:
• Under Troubleshoot tab, enable the toggle to receive the plugin logs.


• Once enabled, you will be able to retrieve plugin logs by navigating to Plugin Settings tab and clicking on Test Configuration.
• Download the log file from the Troubleshoot tab to see what went wrong.
• You can share the log file with us at aspnetsupport@xecurify.com and our team will reach out to you to resolve your issue.

5. Attribute Mapping

• After testing the configuration, Map your application attributes with the Identity Provider (IdP) attributes.
• Note: All the mapped attributes will be stored in the session so that you can access them in your application.

6. Integration Code

• This steps allow you to retrieve the SSO user information in your application in the form of user claims.
• You can also look the setup tour to understand how the SSO integration would work in your Blazor application.
• Just copy-paste that code snippet wherever you want to access the user attributes.

• Note:This trial middleware only supports user information in claims, retrieving user information in session and headers is available in the premium plugin
• You can also copy the integration code from below:

          

              
        
      string name="";
      string claimtype="";
      string claimvalue="";
  
      if(User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
      {
           foreach( var claim  in User.Claims) 
           {
             claimtype = claim.Type;
             claimvalue = claim.Value;
           }
           retrive custom attributes(for eg. Retrieve Mapped 'mobileNumber' attribute of your IDP)
         var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)User.Identity;
         IEnumerable claims = identity.Claims;
         string mobileNumber = identity.FindFirst("mobileNumber")?.Value;
      }
      
      
      

• Note: All the mapped attributes will be stored in the claims to be accessed in your application.
