Introduction

This document guides on how to enable Ubisecure SSO Management API in Ubisecure SSO.

Getting started

Enable SSO Management API

SSO Management API is not enabled by default. To enable the SSO Management API in Ubisecure SSO, use a text editor to edit a custom version of the server.xml in the following directory:

...\ubilogin-sso\ubilogin\custom\tomcat\server.xml

If the file does not already exist in that location, copy the currently used server.xml to the custom directory. Modifications to files in the custom directory will be retained when a software upgrade is performed.

Windows

copy "c:\Program Files\Ubisecure\ubilogin-sso\tomcat\conf\server.xml" "c:\Program Files\Ubisecure\ubilogin-sso\ubilogin\custom\tomcat\server.xml"

Unix

cp /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/tomcat/conf/server.xml /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/custom/tomcat/server.xml

Uncomment the following line:

<Context path="/sso-api" docBase="${catalina.base}/webapps/sso-api"/>

Save the file and run Tomcat update.

Windows

cd /d c:\Program Files\Ubisecure\ubilogin-sso\ubilogin
config\tomcat\update.cmd

Unix

..\ubilogin-sso\ubilogin\config\tomcat\update.sh
/etc/init.d/ubilogin-server restart

Import certificates

The SSO Management API connects to the SSO OAuth2 endpoints. The issuer of the SSL certificate on those endpoints must be trusted by the java installation used. By default, no publically issued CAs are trusted and must be trusted explicitly.

The certificates can be imported using the following syntaxes. The whole certificate chain must be imported using the keytool tool. keytool (linux) or Keytool.exe (Windows) can be found in the ..\ubilogin-sso\java\windows-x64\jre\bin directory (prior to 8.2) or the bin directory of the java installation under JRE_HOME.

Import the server certificate.

./keytool -importcert -file ../lib/security/login.example.com.crt -keystore ../lib/security/cacert

Import the intermediate certificate. Use the intermediate certificate of the issuer of your externally facing SSL certificate. In this example, the login.example.com certificate was issued by Comodo.

./keytool -importcert -alias "COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA" -file ../lib/security/COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt -keystore ../lib/security/cacert

Import the CA certificate of the issuer of your externally facing SSL certificate.

./keytool -importcert -alias "COMODO RSA Certification Authority" -file ../lib/security/COMODORSACertificationAuthority.crt -keystore ../lib/security/cacert

Create a Client Application

In a production environment a new client application MUST be registered, using the SSO management web console or by other bootstrapping methods. The client id and secret of SSO Management API MUST NOT be used outside the server environment.

Log in to the Ubisecure SSO management console and navigate to System → SSO API → Applications. Create a new application as illustrated in picture below.

Create client_id and secret for the new application and save it somewhere safe. These will be needed later on.

By clicking on the Activate button SSO prompt you and you may click OK.

Save the file and open it using a text editor. Below is an example.

{"client_id":"085bc54a-5a4e-4806-a07b-c97f8dc466c7","client_secret":"X90gQo4WLHovZLoyBXxQpViojgaoqJRd"}

Click on 'Upload' and paste the content into the window and click 'OK'.

Next, activate password.1 method to the application and click on 'Update' -button.

Add the group "SSO API Admins" to the application

Create an API user

Navigate to the System → Users tab and click on the 'New user…' -button.

On Methods tab, activate authentication method password.1 and click 'Update'.

Enter and confirm a password for SSO API user.

Next, add the user to SSO Management API Administrators –group.

Testing the connection

You can start testing the connection using the following syntax using Curl. You may use the ‘--insecure’ flag in case self-signed certificates are used.

curl -i https://<SSO_SERVER_NAME>/sso-api/site

At this point a unauthorized response should come back. This indicates that you SSO Management API is up and running. The response includes the scope to be used in API operations.
