Juniper IVE (SAML 1.1) Integration Guide

Introduction

Use this guide to enable Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-on (SSO) via SAML 1.1 to Juniper IVE VPN.

Prerequisites

1. Have Juniper IVE 6.3 or higher

2. Create a New Realm for the Juniper IVE integration in the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin

3. Configure the following tabs in the Web Admin before configuring the Post Authentication tab:

  • Overview – the description of the realm and SMTP connections must be defined

  • Data – an enterprise directory must be integrated with SecureAuth IdP

  • Workflow – the way in which users will access this application must be defined

  • Multi-Factor Methods – the Multi-Factor Authentication methods that will be used to access this page (if any) must be defined

SecureAuth IdP Configuration Steps

Post Authentication

1. Select SAML 1.1 Assertion Page from the Authenticated User Redirect dropdown in the Post Authentication tab in the Web Admin

2. An unalterable URL will be auto-populated in the Redirect To field, which will append to the domain name and realm number in the address bar (Authorized/InterSiteTransfer.aspx)

3. A customized post authentication page can be uploaded, but it is not required

User ID Mapping

4. Select Authenticated User ID from the User ID Mapping dropdown

In typical scenarios, the Authenticated User ID is sent; however, if the Juniper IVE ID is contained in a different SecureAuth IdP Property, select that value from the dropdown

5. Select urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified from the Name ID Format dropdown (default)

Select a different option if Juniper requires it, which the Service Provider (SP) will provide

6. Select False from the Encode to Base64 dropdown

SAML Assertion / WS Federation

7. Set the WSFed Reply To/SAML Target URL to the Juniper Signing-in URL, e.g. https://ive.company.com/saml

8. Set the SAML Consumer URL to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Juniper IVE server, followed by /dana-na/auth/saml-consumer.cgi, e.g. https://ive.company.com/dana-na/auth/saml-consumer.cgi

9. Set the WSFed/SAML Issuer to a Unique Name that will be shared with Juniper

The WSFed/SAML Issuer must match exactly on the SecureAuth IdP side and the Juniper side

Note

No configuration is required for the SAML Recipient or SAML Audience fields

10. Leave the Signing Cert Serial Number as the default value, unless there is a third-party certificate being used for the SAML assertion

If using a third-party certificate, click Select Certificate and choose the appropriate certificate

11. Download the Assertion Signing Certificate, which will be used in the Juniper IVE configuration

Warning

Click Save once the configurations have been completed and before leaving the Post Authentication page to avoid losing changes

Forms Auth / SSO Token

Optionally, in the Forms Auth / SSO Token section, click the View and Configure FormsAuth keys/SSO token link to configure the token/cookie settings and configure this realm for SSO.

Troubleshooting / Common Issues

Second Factor SAML Password Loop

Problem: The integration of SecureAuth IdP and Juniper IVE enables the option to enter the password on Juniper, which allows users to relay that password to applications via SSO

There is a known issue where if a user enters a bad password, they are prompted again for the password; but the SAML assertion of the UserID has been lost, so an endless loop occurs

Resolution: Admins can modify the custom login page to enable Juniper to look for error 1002, and then redirect users back to the SecureAuth IdP login page

44832714.png

Enter the following code, and replace SecureAuthIdPFQDN with the actual FQDN of the SecureAuth IdP appliance (e.g. secureauth.company.com), and replace the X with the actual realm number of the Juniper integration (e.g. secureauth2)

Example

<%IF LoginPageErrorCode == 1002 %>
<input type="hidden" name="realm" value="<% RealmList.0 %>">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=https://SecureAuthIdPFQDN/secureauthX/secureauth.aspx">
