Egnyte (SP-initiated) Integration Guide

Introduction

Use this guide to enable Service Provider (SP)-initiated Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-on (SSO) access via SAML to Egnyte.

For SecureAuth IdP-initiated access, refer to Egnyte (IdP-initiated) Integration Guide

Prerequisites

1. Have an Egnyte account with the Administrative Package

2. Create a New Realm for the Egnyte 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

Data

1. In the Profile Fields section, map the directory field that contains the user's Egnyte ID to the SecureAuth IdP Property

For example, add the Egnyte ID Field to the Email 2 Property if it is not already contained somewhere else

2. Select SAML 2.0 (SP Initiated) Assertion Page from the Authenticated User Redirect dropdown in the Post Authentication tab in the Web Admin

3. 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/SAML20SPInit.aspx)

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

User ID Mapping

5. Select the SecureAuth IdP Property that corresponds to the directory field that contains the Egnyte ID (Email 2)

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

Select a different option if Egnyte requires it, which the SP will provide

7. Select False from the Encode to Base64 dropdown

SAML Assertion / WS Federation

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

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

9. Provide the SP Start URL to enable SSO and to redirect users appropriately to access Egnyte

For example, the SP Start URL would be https://company.egnyte.com

10. Set the SAML Offset Minutes to make up for time differences between devices

11. Set the SAML Valid Hours to limit for how long the SAML assertion is valid

Note

No configuration is required for the WSFed Reply To/SAML Target URL, SAML Consumer URL, SAML Recipient, or SAML Audience fields

12. 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

13. Download the Assertion Signing Certificate, which will be used in the Egnyte Configuration Steps

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.

6. Set the Identity provider entity ID to the same Unique Name set in the WSFed/SAML Issuer field in the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin (step 8)

7. Copy the content from the Assertion Signing Certificate from the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin (step 13), and paste it into the Identity provider certificate field

8. Click Save
