Web Admin Part I - Getting to Know the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin

Access the Admin Realm (SecureAuth0) from the Home Page in the top menu

This realm is for the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin, and SecureAuth recommends that it is configured first to ensure the safety of the Web Admin

Follow the Web Admin Part II - Admin Realm Configuration Guide to secure the Web Admin, enable external access, and to control access

Click Specialized Realms in the top menu, and App Enrollment to view and / or modify the pre-configured realm that enables users to enroll and provision devices / browsers for OATH OTPs and Mobile Login Requests (PUSH Notifications)

Refer to Multi-Factor App Enrollment (URL) Realm Configuration Guide (version 9.1 and 9.2) for more information

Use the Tools menu to access Web Config settings and update or decrypt the web config files for realms

See SecureAuth IdP Realm Guide - Encrypting and Decrypting Realms for more information

Click Create Realms in the top menu, and Create New From Template to create and configure a new realm with the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin Wizard

Create New Realm From Template Configuration Steps

Apps

1. Select an application from the provided list to establish the target resource of the new realm

For this example, Google Apps is selected

Step 1. General

2. Provide a Page Title/Header, e.g. Google Apps

This will appear in the Web Admin and on the end-user login pages

Step 2. Active Directory

3. Select Create New from the Data Source dropdown if the Active Directory integration to be used for Google Apps has not been configured in another realm; or select the SecureAuth IdP realm that has the required configurations from the Data source dropdown

If a SecureAuth IdP realm is selected, the other fields will auto-populate with the appropriate values

4. Provide the Active Directory Domain

5. Provide the username of the SecureAuth IdP data store service account in the Service Account Login field

A service account with read access is required to extract information for authentication and assertion, and (optional) write access is required to alter or add information to the data store from SecureAuth IdP (e.g. password update, provisioned devices, knowledge-based questions)

6. Provide the password that is associated to the above username in the Service Account Password field

Step 3. SAML

7. In the Start Location dropdown, select At Service Provider if the end-user will initiate the login process at Google Apps; or select At SecureAuth if the end-user will initiate the login process at the SecureAuth IdP realm

8. Provide the Service Provider Start URL, which would be a vanity URL, such as https://mail.google.com/a/company.com

9. Provide the RelayState if At SecureAuth was selected in step 7

This is the same as the SAML Target URL in the Web Admin realm configuration

10. Select how SecureAuth IdP will map to the directory user account from the SAML ID (NameID) Mapping dropdown

Step 4. Workflow

11. Select Enabled from the Two-factor Authentication dropdown to enable a 2-Factor Authentication workflow for this realm

12. Select the type of persistent token that will be accepted and / or generated in this realm from the Two Factor Persistence dropdown

13. Check the boxes to enable SecureAuth IdP Properties that map to directory Fields (configured in the Data tab) to be used for 2-Factor Authentication

For example, checking Phone 2 enables Voice, SMS / Text, or both OTP delivery to the phone number mapped to Phone 2

14. Select Enabled from the Password Validation dropdown to require a password in addition to the username and second factor

15. Select On Separate/Last Page from the Password Location dropdown to enable a Standard Authentication Mode workflow (username + second factor + password)

Select On first page to have the username and password prompts on the first page, and then the 2-Factor Authentication process will follow

16. Click Next to review the configurations, then click Confirm to create the realm

Notice

More configurations and settings may be required in addition to these Wizard steps

Click Create Realms in the top menu, and Create New From Existing to create a new realm by copying the configurations of another realm

Create New From Existing Configuration Steps

Create New From Existing

1. Select the SecureAuth IdP realm that contains the necessary configurations from the Select Realm to Copy dropdown

2. Click Add New Realm

3. A new realm will be created, and by clicking on the new realm on the Home Page, modifications can be made

The Overview tab is where basic information about the SecureAuth IdP realm is provided, as well as general SMTP email settings that will be used for any SecureAuth IdP email messages (2-Factor Authentication, Account Updates, etc.)

Here, administrators can also change the appearance of the end-user pages, the text shown on the end-user pages, and enabled languages

To configure the Overview tab, refer to Overview tab configuration

The Data tab is used for directory integration and user account mapping

SecureAuth IdP requires an on-premises data store with which it can integrate to extract information for authentication and assertion purposes, and to which it can write updated user information (e.g. passwords, phone numbers, knowledge-based questions, etc.)

In the Profile Fields section, the admin configures mapping from SecureAuth IdP Properties to data store Fields; this enables the exchange of user information without storing anything away from the directory

To configure the Data tab, refer to Data tab configuration

The Workflow tab dictates how end-users will access the target resource

This includes the authentication mode (standard workflow, username / password only, persistent token only, etc.), token / cookie / fingerprint settings, and more

This tab also includes settings for Social IDs (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Windows Live) for Multi-Factor Authentication

To configure the Workflow tab, refer to Workflow Tab Configuration

The Adaptive Authentication tab enables and configures the various adaptive authentication capabilities of SecureAuth IdP

Adaptive Authentication allows SecureAuth IdP to perform customized actions based on a real-time analysis of an end-user's authentication attempt; factors that can be included in this analysis include IP/Country blacklisting and whitelisting, IP Reputation and Threat Data analysis, User and/or Group membership, Geo-velocity analysis, and User Reputation/Risk analysis

To configure the Adaptive Authentication tab, refer to Adaptive Authentication Tab Configuration

The Multi-Factor Methods tab enables the many possible mechanisms available for Multi-Factor Authentication

Here, administrators can permit the use of any registration methods per realm, and end-users can select their preferred mechanism during the login process

This tab also includes settings for YubiKey integration for Multi-Factor Authentication

To configure the Multi-Factor Methods tab, refer to Multi-Factor Methods Tab Configuration

The Post Authentication tab designates the target resource of the realm

This page will alter depending on the selection made from the Authenticated User Redirect dropdown (e.g. SAML 2.0 (IdP Initiated) Assertion Page) to provide only the settings required for the target

Here, configurations can be made for out-of-the-box Identity Management (IdM) tools like Self-service Password Reset, Account Update, User Creation, and Reporting; for applications that use SAML, WS-Federation, or OAuth 2.0; and for other post-authentication requests like certificates or enrollment

To configure the Post Authentication tab, refer to Post Authentication Tab Configuration, which includes Integration Guides, IdM Tools Configuration Guides, Certificate Delivery, and more

The API tab enables the use of SecureAuth IdP's APIs on the realm; these APIs can then be called to perform Authentication and/or Identity Management functions in a custom application.

Here, the administrator can configure which APIs are enabled for the realm, and also view the Application ID & Application Key

To configure the API tab, refer to API Tab Configuration

The Logs tab is used to enable and review Audit, Debug, Error, and Certificate Logs for the realm

Administrators can review all authentication events and can search error logs to fix any issues that end-users may be experiencing during the login process

To configure the Logs tab, refer to Logs Tab Configuration

The System Info tab is used primarily for reviewing settings; however, there are items that may require configuration or modification (e.g., proxy, SCEP)

Here administrators can find information about the appliance such as licensing information, certificate settings, and web.config backup files

To configure the System Info tab, refer to System Info Tab Configuration
