miniOrange allows Shibboleth to act as an IDP (Identity Provider), which allows users to Single Sign-On (SSO) into Shopify using Shibboleth Credentials. Our application is compatible with all the SAML / OAuth compliant Identity Providers. We will go through a step-by-step guide to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) into Shopify using Shibboleth as IdP (Identity Provider) and Shopify store as SP (Service Provider).

miniOrange Provides Secure Single Sign-On (SSO) access to your Shopify applications(both plus and Non plus Stores).


Step by Step guide for Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) into Shopify using Shibboleth as an Identity Provider (IDP).

1.  Configuring Shopify as Service Provider (SP) in Shibboleth

  • In conf/idpproperties, uncomment and set 'idp.encryption.optionaI' to true.
  • eg. idp.encryption.optional = true
    
  • In conf/metadata-providers.xml, configure Service Provider like this
  •    <MetadataProvider xmlns:samlmd="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata" 
         id="miniOrangeInLineEntity" xsi:type="InlineMetadataProvider" sortKey="1">
           <samlmd:EntityDescriptor ID="entity" entityID="<SP-EntityID/Issuer from SP info tab in plugin.>"
           validUntil="2020-09-06T04:13:32Z">
           <samlmd:SPSSODescriptor AuthnRequestsSigned="false" WantAssertionsSigned="true"
           protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">
             <samlmd:NameIDFormat>
               urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
             </samlmd:NameIDFormat>
           <samlmd:AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
           Location="<ACS (AssertionConsumerService) URL from Step1 of the plugin under IDP Tab.>"
             index="1" />
           </samlmd:SPSSODescriptor>
           </samlmd:EntityDescriptor>
       </MetadataProvider>
  • In conf/saml-nameid.properties, uncomment and set default NameID as Email Address like this
  •  idp.nameid.saml2.default=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
    
  • In conf/saml-nameid-xml, search for shibboleth.SAML2NameIDGenerators. Uncomment the shibboleth.SAML2AttributeSourcedGenerator bean and comment all other ref beans
  •  <!-- SAML 2 NameID Generation --> 
     <util:list id="shibboleth.SAML2NameIDGenerators">
       <!--<ref bean="shibboleth.SAML2TransientGenerator" /> -->
       <!-->ref bean="shibboleth.SAML2PersistentGenerator" /> -->
       <bean parent="shibboleth.SAML2AttributeSourcedGenerator"
       p:format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress"
       p:attributeSourceIds="#{ {'email'} }" />
     </util:list>
  • Make sure you have defined AttributeDefinition in conf/attribute-resolver.xml.
  •  <!-- Note: AttributeDefinitionid must be same as what you provided in attributeSourceIds in conf/saml-nameid.xml --> 
     <resolver:AttributeDefinitionxsi:type="ad:Simple" id="email" sourceAttributeID="mail">
       <resolver:Dependency ref="ldapConnector" />
       <resolver:AttributeEncoderxsi:type="enc:SAML2String" name="email" friendlyName="email" />
     </resolver:AttributeDefinition >

     <resolver:DataConnector id="ldapConnector" xsi:type="dc:LDAPDirectory" ldapURL="%{idp.authn.LDAP.ldapURL}"
       baseDN="%{idp.authn.LDAP.baseDN}" principal="%{idp.authn.LDAP.bindDN}"
       principalCredential="%{idp.authn.LDAP.bindDNCredential}">
       <dc:FilterTemplate>
         <!-- Define you User Search Filter here -->
         <![CDATA[ (&(objectclass=*)(cn=$requestContext.principalName)) ]]>
       </dc:FilterTemplate>

       <dc:ReturnAttributes>*</dc:ReturnAttributes>
     </resolver:DataConnector>
  • Make sure you have AttributeFilterPolicy defined in conf/attribute-filter.xml.
  •  <afp:AttributeFilterPolicy id="ldapAttributes"> 
     <afp:PolicyRequirementRulexsi:type="basic:ANY"/>
       <afp:AttributeRuleattributeID="email">
         <afp:PermitValueRulexsi:type="basic:ANY"/>
       </afp:AttributeRule>
