  • Configuration String
    Name-value properties that can be used to configure method settings that do not have a user interface yet.

Mappings View

The names of the method attribute mapping and directory user mapping tables assigned to the method are shown in the Mappings context window. Refer to the chapters below for more information about assigning and unassigning the mapping tables to the methods.

  • Method Attribute Mapping Table
    Name of a method attribute mapping table assigned to the method. Attribute mapping table may be accessed by clicking the name. If an attribute mapping table is assigned to the method, only the mapped attributes are available for authorization policies and web applications. If no attribute mapping table is assigned, all method attributes are available.

Authentication Method Types

The next chapters present the specific configurations for each authentication method type.

SPI Password

The Password authentication method validates users against the current system's Ubisecure Directory . Ubisecure SSO maintains the password expiry and lockout policy based on the Lockout Threshold and Lockout Duration settings in the Main tab.

...

  • Password encoding
    Define the name of the one-way hashing algorithm that is used to store passwords in the Directory Service used by the password Authentication Method.
    • Supported values: {SSHA512}, {SHA512}, {SSHA384}, {SHA384}, {SSHA256}, {SHA256}, {SSHA}, {SHA}, {PKCS5S2}, {PBKDF2}, {MD4}, {PLAIN}
    • An empty value means that the default password encoding of the Directory Service is used. For example, for SQL it is {SSHA} and for Ubisecure Directory it is {SSHA}. Please consult the specific Directory Integration guide for the default password encoding.
    • For Active Directory integrations, the encryption configuration of the Active Directory instance is used explicitly and the value set here is not used.

Password Policy Enhancements

It is possible to tighten password policy further by using any of following settings in the Configuration String section:

...

  • policy.password.expiring
    Time in minutes before password starts to expire. When this threshold is exceeded, the user will be notified of impending password expiration and password change is offeredTime in minutes before password max-age is reached. When this threshold is exceeded, the user will be notified of impending password expiration.

External Password

External Password authentication method has been deprecated and replaced by the SPI Password method. Use directory.account.login property to configure the attribute by which users are identified in the external directory. Link the SPI Password method to some directory service that configures a connection to an external directory.
External Password methods are described in more depth in the guide SSO External Directory Integration. Please refer also to the following individual guides:

Authentication Provider

The Authentication Provider authentication method type is used for configuring the Windows Single Sign-On authentication method, which uses Windows Authentication Provider software component.
The configuration window for Authentication Provider type authentication method is presented in Figure 7.

...

Please refer to page Windows Authentication Provider for more details on installing and configuring the Windows authentication method.

...

Mobile Phone Unregistered

The configuration window for Mobile phone unregistered type of authentication method is presented below. Configuration parameters in the bottom of the page.

...


Please refer to SSO Installation Appendix - SMS for installing and configuring the Mobile Phone unregistered authentication method.

Discovery Service

The configuration window for Discovery Services is presented below. Configuration is made in the Configuration String setting. Both external SAML Discovery Services (also known as Where Are You From or WAYF services) and Common Domain Cookie discovery are supported. Service Discovery is part of Ubisecure Trust.

...

Please refer to the pages

for instructions on installing and configuring the Discovery Services methods.

SAML

The SAML method permits configuration of a SAML Service Provider in an SAML Identity Provider Proxy configuration. The SAML Method permits an identity from a third-party system to be used on the local system. The SAML Method when used for federation a third-party system is part of the Ubisecure Trust product.
The configuration window for the SAML method type is presented below.

...

The opposite direction, in other words, adding a SAML Service Provider Application to this Ubisecure SSO, is described in page Applications - SSO Management.

OAuth 2.0

The OAuth 2.0 method permits configuration to Ubisecure SSO to act as a OAuth 2.0 Client in a OAuth 2.0 based use case configuration, eg to to enable external authentication based on authentication of users by certain social media services.

The The Ubisecure OAuth 2.0 Client is currently implemented specifically to enable authentication for users of certain social media services and the protocols are implemented from this standpoint. For more information please refer to the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0 pages
