Configuring the SAML2 Service Provider settings

Configure the Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML2) Service Provider settings to control federated user access to SPS.

URL
https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/saml2
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

curl -X PUT -b "${COOKIE_PATH}" https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/saml2

To configure the SAML2 Service Provider settings

  1. Download the SP metadata XML from /sts/saml2/sp-metadata.xml. This XML file contains the SP's entity ID. You are not required to authenticate to download this XML file.

  2. Open a transaction

    For more information, see Open a transaction.

  3. Create a X.509 identity at the /api/configuration/x509 endpoint.

    {
                    "certificate": <-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...\n-----END CERTIFICATE----->,
                    "private_key": <-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----->,
                    "issuer_chain": []
                }
  4. Return to the /api/configuration/aaa/saml2 endpoint and add the newly created X.509 identity to the SAML2 entity ID and the listed ACS addresses to complete the configuration.

    {
                    "entity_id": "https://minimal.balabit/sts/saml2/other-random-string",
                    "x509_identity": "<XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX>",

Managing SPS

Topics:

Troubleshooting options

Configures debug logging and the retention time of core dump files.

  • Debug logging increases the log level of the non-network-related events, adding the commands executed by the SPS web interface to the log.

  • SPS automatically generates core dump files if an important software component of the system crashes. These core dump files can be of great help to the One Identity Support Team to identify problems. To download the generated core dump files, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Core files on the web interface of SPS.
