ASP.NET SAML SP Single Sign-On (SSO) module gives the ability to enable SAML
Single Sign-On for your ASP.NET applications. Using Single Sign-On you can use
only one password to access your ASP.NET application and services. Our module
is compatible with all the SAML compliant Identity providers. Here we will go
through a step-by-step guide to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) between ASP.NET
and Azure AD considering Azure AD as IdP.
Pre-requisites : Download And Installation
-
Download
miniOrange ASP.NET SAML 2.0 Module.
-
To set up the module, extract the file
asp.net-saml-sso-module-xxx.zip. You will find a DLL named
miniorange-saml-sso.dll, a configuration file named
saml.config and an integration.md file which contains steps
for adding the module into your application.
-
Add miniorange-saml-sso.dll into your bin folder (where other DLL
files for your application exist).
-
Register minorangesamlsso module in your application according to the
steps provided in the file named integration.md.
-
Add the provided configuration file saml.config in the root directory
of your application.
-
After integration, open your browser and browse the connector dashboard with
the URL below:
https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=config
-
If the registration page or login page pops up, you have successfully added
the miniOrange SAML SSO connector to your application.
-
Register or log in with your account by clicking the Register button
to configure the module.
Steps to configure Azure AD Single Sign-On (SSO) Login into ASP.NET
1. Add Azure AD in ASP.NET SAML Module
-
Go to Plugin settings section and Choose Azure AD from the
list.
-
You will see the Service Provider Settings option, where you will get
the service provider metadata. You can have three options to provide the
metadata to your IDP. Keep the metadata handy as it will be required later
to configure step 2.
2. Configure Azure AD as Identity Provider (Setup Azure AD using ENTERPRISE
APPLICATION)
-
Login into
Azure AD Portal.
Select Azure Active Directory.
-
Navigate to Enterprise Applications section and click on Add.

Click on Create your own application. Enter the name for your app.
Select the 3rd option in
What are you looking to do with your application section and then
click on Create button.
-
Click on Single sign-on from the application's left-hand navigation
menu and select SAML.
-
Edit BASIC SAML CONFIGURATION and enter the SP Entity ID for
Identifier and the ACS URL for Reply URL from Service Provider
section of the ASP.NET SAML plugin.
-
Copy App Federation Metadata Url. This will be used while configuring
the ASP.NET SAML module.
- Assign users and groups to your SAML application.
-
Click on Users and groups from the applications left-hand
navigation menu.
-
After clicking on Add user, Select Users and groups in the
Add Assignment screen. Search or invite an external user. Select the
appropriate user and click on the Select button.
-
After selecting the appropriate user, click on the Assign button.
3. Configure ASP.NET SAML Module as Service Provider
-
Go to the miniOrange ASP.NET SAML 2.0 SSO module and click on
Upload IDP Metadata button.
-
In the Metadata URL option, Paste the Metadata URL which you have
copied from your IDP and click on Fetch Metadata button.
- Click Save to save your IDP details.
4. User Attribute Mapping
User Attribute Mapping is mandatory for enabling users to successfully login
into ASP.NET application. We will be setting up user profile attributes for
ASP.NET applications using below settings.
-
Click on the Test Configuration button to test whether the SAML
Configuration you’ve done is correct. On successful test configuration, you
will get the different user attributes returned by your identity Provider in
a test configuration table.
-
Once you see all the values in test configuration table, click on
Configure Attribute Mapping button.
-
You will be redirected to the Attribute Mapping section where you can
see that the user attribute as an autofield.
-
Note: All the mapped attributes will be stored in the session so that you
can access them in your application.
- Click on Save Attribute Mapping button.
6. Integration Code
-
You can also find the Integration code in the Integration Code tab in
the module. Just copy-paste that code snippet wherever you want to access
the user attributes.
-
Note: All the mapped attributes will be stored in the session so that you
can access them in your application.
7. Login Settings
-
Use the following URL as a link in your application from where you want to
perform SSO:
-
https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=login
- For example you can use it as:
-
<a
href="https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=login">Login</a>
8. Logout Settings
-
Use the following URL as a link in your application from where you want to
perform SLO:
-
https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=logout
- For example you can use it as:
-
<a
href="https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=logout">Logout</a>
