AzureAD

Azure AD Configuration

The main theme behind this configuration is the OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow. It requires two Azure AD applications:

  1. An application used for the single sign-on process to a specific service provider.
    • Amazon S3: Please follow this link for detailed instructions on how to create this application. Make sure you test the connection and you are able to login to the AWS console from Azure AD.

      Save the step "Assign the Azure AD test user" until after provisioning so that you can select the AWS roles when assigning the user.

  2. A "connector" application with user_impersonation permission on the SSO application you created in the previous step. Go to Azure Active Directory > App registrations and register a new application. After you register this application, you need to allow it to make API calls to the SSO application. Go to the API permissions section of the app you registered and click the "Add a permission" box. Select the API of your SSO application by specifying the API name or Application Id and add the user_impersonation permission.

CData Driver Common Properties

The following SSOProperties are needed to authenticate to Azure Active Directory and must be specified for every service provider.

  • Resource: The application Id URI of the SSO application, listed in the Overview section of the app registration.
  • Tenant: The Id of the Azure AD tenant where the applications are registered. You can find this value using the instructions found here.

We will retrieve the SSO SAML response from an OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow so the following OAuth connection properties must be specified:

  • OAuthClientId: The application Id of the connector application, listed in the Overview section of the app registration.
  • OAuthClientSecret: The client secret value of the connector application. Azure AD displays this when you create a new client secret (Certificates & secrets section).

Amazon S3

In addition to the common properties, the following properties must be specified when connecting to Amazon S3 service provider:

  • AuthScheme: Set the AuthScheme to AzureAD.
  • AWSRoleARN: The ARN of the IAM role. Find this on the Summary page of the IAM role.
  • AWSPrincipalARN: The ARN of the identity provider. Find this on the identity provider's summary page.
The following is an example connection string: 
AuthScheme=AzureAD;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=d593a1d-ad89-4457-872d-8d7443aaa655;OauthClientSecret=g9-oy5D_rl9YEKfN-45~3Wm8FgVa2F;SSOProperties='Tenant=94be7-edb4-4fda-ab12-95bfc22b232f;Resource=https://signin.aws.amazon.com/saml;';AWSRoleARN=arn:aws:iam::2153385180:role/AWS_AzureAD;AWSPrincipalARN=arn:aws:iam::215515180:saml-provider/AzureAD;

OneLogin

OneLogin Configuration

You must create an application used for the single sign-on process to a specific provider.

  • Sharepoint SOAP: Please follow this link for detailed instructions on how to create this application. Make sure you test the connection and you are able to login to Office 365 from OneLogin. Make sure you have enabled WS-TRUST in your application. Otherwise, the CData driver will not be able to connect.

Sharepoint SOAP

The following properties must be specified when connecting to Sharepoint SOAP service provider:

  • AuthScheme: Set the AuthScheme to OneLogin.
  • User: The username of the OneLogin account.
  • Password: The password of the OneLogin account.
  • SSOProperties:
    • Domain (optional): It may be required to be set this property if the domain configured on the SSO domain is different than the domain of the User.
The following is an example connection string: 
AuthScheme='OneLogin';User=test;Password=test;SSOProperties='Domain=test.cdata;';

Okta

Okta Configuration

You must create an application used for the single sign-on process to a specific provider.

  • Sharepoint SOAP: Please follow this link for detailed instructions on how to create this application and configure SSO. Make sure you test the connection and you are able to login to Office 365 from Okta. Make sure you have configured SSO using WS-Federation in your application. Otherwise, the CData driver will not be able to connect.
  • Amazon S3: Please follow this link for detailed instructions on how to create this application and configure SSO. Make sure you test the connection and you are able to login to AWS from Okta. Make sure you have configured SSO with SAML 2.0 in your application. Otherwise, the CData driver will not be able to connect. Ensure that the assigned AWS role in the Okta app has access to the S3 bucket you want to connect.

Sharepoint SOAP

The following properties must be specified when connecting to Sharepoint SOAP service provider:

  • AuthScheme: Set the AuthScheme to Okta.
  • User: The username of the Okta account.
  • Password: The password of the Okta account.
  • SSOProperties:
    • Domain (optional): It may be required to be set this property if the domain configured on the SSO domain is different than the domain of the User.
The following is an example connection string: 
AuthScheme='Okta';User=test;Password=test;SSOProperties='Domain=test.cdata;';

Amazon S3

The following properties must be specified when connecting to an Amazon S3 service provider:

  • AuthScheme: Set the AuthScheme to Okta.
