Zoom SAML Single Sign-On using DNN SAML as IDP

Overview

DotNetNuke (DNN) SAML IDP module acts as a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider which can be configured to establish the trust between the module and various SAML-compliant service providers to securely authenticate the user using the DotNetNuke (DNN) site credentials. Here we will go through a step-by-step guide to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) between DotNetNuke(DNN) and Zoom considering DotNetNuke(DNN) as IDP.

Pre-requisites : Download And Installation

• Download DNN SAML Identity Provider (IDP) module.

• Upload the installation package xxx_dnn-saml-single-sign-on-sso-idp_xxx_Install by going in Settings > Extension > Install Extension.

• Open any of the page on your DNN site (Edit mode) and Click on Add Module.

• Search for moDNNSAMLIDP and click on the moDNNSAMLIDP. Drag and drop the module on the page where you want.

• After successfully installing the module on your DNN site, click the gear icon of the module, and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

• Navigate to the moDNNSAMLIDP Settings tab to configure the module.

• To activate the module, enter the license key received via email in the provided input field.
• If you haven’t received the license key, click on the Click Here link to download it, and then upload the license file using the Choose File button.

• Then, accept the terms and conditions by checking the box, and click on the Activate License button to activate the module.

Step 1: Configure Zoom as SP

• Navigate to the IDP Configurations tab in the DNN SAML IDP module.

• You can share your DNN SAML IDP Metadata with the Service Provider in either of the following ways:
  • Metadata URL : Share the metadata URL with your Service Provider.

  OR

  • Download Metadata XML : Download the metadata XML file and upload it to your Service Provider.

• You can also manually share the DNN SAML IDP metadata by copying the IdP Entity ID, Single Sign-On URL, SAML SLO URL, NameID Format, and x.509 Certificate.

• In a new browser Window, Log in to your Zoom account as Admin.
• Navigate to Advanced tab, select Single Sign-On and then click on Enable Single Sign-On.

• Enter the required endpoints from the IDP Configurations tab of the module.

Sign-in page URL	Copy and paste the SAML Login URL
Sign-out page URL	Copy and paste the SAML Logout URL
Identity Provider Certificate	Download the certificate. Open it in Notepad, copy and paste the content here
Service Provider (SP) Entity ID	https://<vanity URL>
Issuer (IDP-EntityID)	Copy and paste the IDP-EntityID / Issuer
Binding	HTTP-Redirect
Signature Hash Algorithm	SHA-256

• Click Save Changes to save your configuration.

Step 2: Configure DNN as SAML IDP

• Navigate to the SP Configurations tab and click on the Add Application button.

• From the list of service providers given below, select Zoom.

There are two options to add an application for your Service Provider in the DNN SAML IDP module

A] Upload Metadata using the “Upload Metadata” option

• You can upload the Service Provider metadata directly using the Upload Metadata button.

• The DNN SAML IDP module requires the SP Entity ID and ACS URL values from your Service Provider.
• You may receive these values either through a metadata file (.xml) or a metadata URL from your SP.
• Upload the metadata by selecting the appropriate option — via XML file or URL — as shown in the screenshot below.
• Zoom gives the option to either download metadata or use the metadata link ( https://<your-vanity-url>.zoom.us/saml/metadata/sp ).

B] Configure the Service Provider metadata manually

• If you prefer to configure the Service Provider manually, copy the SP Entity ID and ACS URL from your Service Provider’s metadata and paste them into the corresponding fields.

• Once you have entered all required details, click on Save Settings to save the configuration.

Step 3: Attribute Mapping

• In this steps you will map the DotNetNuke user attribute to be sent in the response to the Service Provider.
• NameID defines what SP is expecting in the subject element of SAML Assertion. Generally, NameID is Username of Email Address. You can select which user attribute you want to send in the NameID.
• You can add other attributes to be sent in SAML Assertion to SP. The attributes include user’s profile attributes such as first name, last name, fullname, username, email, custom profile attributes etc.

• After completing the attribute mapping, click on the Save Settings button to save your configurations.

Step 4: Testing SSO

• Go to your Zoom login page and click on the SSO option to get redirected to the DNN IdP Sign-On Page.
• Enter your DNN credentials and log in. If configured correctly, you will be automatically signed in to your Zoom account.

Step 5: IdP Initiated SSO

• Once the attribute mapping is completed and saved successfully, you can use the DNN IdP initiated SSO link to directly log in to Zoom from your DNN site.
• After adding your Service Provider, click on Select Actions → Copy SSO Link.
  For DNN (IdP) initiated SSO, use this link provided by the DNN SAML IDP module to initiate login directly from DNN.
