SAML Single Sign On(SSO) into Bamboo using Identity Provider

Step 1:Setup RSA SecurID as Identity Provider

All the information required to configure RSA as Identity Provider i.e. plugin’s metadata is given in the Service Provider Info tab of the miniOrange SAML plugin.

Login to the RSA Secure ID as Super Admin.
In the Administration Console, click Applications → Application Catalog.
Click Create From Template button on the top right corner.
Next to the SAML Direct, click the Choose Connector Template page. The Add Connector wizard appears.
Fill the required information in the Basic Information page on the Add Connector wizard.
- Name:- Name of the application for eg. miniOrange Plugin.
- Description (Optional):- Description for your application.
- Disabled [a checkbox] (optional): Select this only if you want to make this application unavailable to users. When disabled, the application appears in My Application but does not appear in the RSA application portal.
- Click Next Step button.
Fill the required information in the Connection Profile page.

Connection Profile

Upload the miniOrange plugin’s metadata file and click on the Import Metadata button. You can obtain plugin metadata from the Service Provider info tab of the plugin.
Verify the configured URLs and clicks on the Save button on the top right corner of the pop-up window.

Initiate SAML Workflow

Select SP-Initiated, if you want the SSO should be invoked from application or select IDP-initiated, if you want the user should log in into RSA first and then access application from his RSA Dashboard.
Configure base URL of your application as Connection URL or you can leave it blank if IDP-initiated is selected.
Select Binding type: POST and Signed option as Checked.

SAML Identity Provider(Issuer)

Upload the public and private key which will be used to signed SAML response or you can generate new key pair by clicking on the Generate Cert Bundle button.
(Optional) Enable checkbox for Include Certificate in Outgoing Assertion.

Service Provider

Assertion Consumer Service URL and Audience URL should be preconfigured if you have uploaded plugin’s metadata in the Connection Profile section. If not, you can find the required URLs from Service Provider Info tab of the miniOrange SAML plugin and update the URL here.

User Identity

Configure NameID information that identifies the user on whose behalf the SAML assertion is generated.

Advanced Configuration: Attribute Extention

Configure additional user information to be sent to the application in the SAML response, for example, username, email, display name, groups etc.

Advanced Configuration: Uncommon Formatting SAML Response

Sign outgoing Assertion:- Assertion within Response.
Encrypt Assertion (Optional): If checked, you need to load miniOrange plugin’s public certificate and you can download it from the Service Provider Info tab of the plugin.
Unchecked Send encoded URL outgoing in assertion .
Checked include issuer NameID format and select NameID Format as Unspecified.
Save the configuration and move to the next page i.e. User Access page.

Define application access in the User Access page.

Disable Attribute Mapping

User Profile

Matching a User

a. Finding correct attributes

Go to Configure IDP tab. Scroll down and click on Test Configuration.
You will see all the values returned by your IDP to Bamboo in a table. If you don't see value for First Name, Last Name, Email or Username, make the required settings in your IDP to return this information.
Once you see all the values in Test Configuration, keep the window open and go to User Profile tab.

b. Setting profile attributes

In this tab, fill the values by matching the name of the attribute. For instance, if the Attribute Name in the Test Configuration window is NameID, enter NameID against Username
Setting up both Username and Email is required if you want to let users register. If you want existing users to the only login, configure the attribute using which you will match the user in Bamboo.

c. Matching a User

Go to User Profile tab.
Select Username or Email for Login/Search Bamboo user account by.
Enter the attribute name from IDP which corresponds to Username or Email using Finding Correct Attributes

Step 4: Assigning groups to users

b. Finding Group Attribute

Just like we found attribute name for user profile attributes, we find group attribute.
Go to Configure IDP tab. Scroll down and click on Test Configuration.
You will see all the values returned by your IDP to Bamboo in a table. If you don't see value with groups, make the required settings in your IDP to return group names.
Once you see all the values in Test Configuration, keep the window open and go to User Groups tab.
Enter the attribute name of group against Group Attribute.
Check Disable Group Mapping option if you don't want to update groups of existing users.

c. Group Mapping

Manual group mapping: If the names of groups in Bamboo are different than the corresponding groups in IDP, then you should use Manual group mapping.
On-The-Fly group mapping: If the names of groups in Bamboo and IDP are same, you should use On-The-Fly group mapping.

I. Manual Group Mapping
- Check Restrict User Creation Based on Group Mapping option if you want new users to be created only if at least one of the user's IDP groups is mapped to a group in the application.
- For mapping, first select a Bamboo group from the dropdown which lists all groups present in Bamboo and then enter the name of the IDP group to be mapped in the textbox beside
- For example, if you want all users in 'dev' group in IDP to be added to bamboo-users, you will need to select bamboo-users from the dropdown and enter 'dev' against bamboo-users.
- Use '+1' and '+10' buttons to add extra mapping fields.
- Use '-' button next to each mapping to delete that mapping.
II. On-The Fly Group Mapping
- Check Create New Groups option if you want new groups from IDP to be created if not found in Bamboo.
- If the user is part of some group in Bamboo and that group is not present in the SAML response returned by IDP, then the user will be removed from that group in Bamboo.
- If you don't want On-The-Fly group mapping to affect Bamboo groups which are managed locally then add those groups in Exclude Groups field.

Step 5: SSO Settings

a. Sign In Settings

Set Enable SSO for Bamboo Server to allow SSO for Bamboo users.
Set button text for button on login page using Login Button Text.
Set redirect URL after login using Relay State. Keep this empty for coming back to the same page user started from.
Enable Auto-redirect to IDP if you want to allow users to login only using IDP. Enable backdoor for emergency.
