Use 探花大神 SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials.

Read this article to learn how to integrate with CloudHealth. 

Prerequisites

  • A 探花大神 administrator account
  • 探花大神 SSO Package or higher or SSO 脿 la carte option
  • A CloudHealth user account with administrator permissions
  • Your CloudHealth domain name

Creating a new 探花大神 Application Integration

  1. Log in to the .
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION SSO Applications.
  3. Click + Add New Application.
  4. Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
  5. Click Next.
  6. In the Display Label, type your name for the application. Optionally, you can enter a Description, adjust the User Portal Image and choose to hide or Show in User Portal.
  7. Optionally, expand Advanced Settings to specify a value for the SSO IdP URL. If no value is entered, it will default to https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/<applicationname>.

Warning:

The SSO IdP URL is not editable after the application is created. You will have to delete and recreate the connector if you need to edit this field at a later time.

  1. Click Save Application.
  2. If successful, click:
    • Configure Application and go to the next section
    • Close to configure your new application at a later time

Configuring the SSO Integration

To configure 探花大神

  1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
  2. Select the SSO tab.
  3. Replace any instances of YOUR_DOMAIN with your CloudHealth domain name.
  4. Add or change any desired user attributes.
  5. Click save.

Download the certificate

  1. Find your application in the Configured Applications list and click anywhere in the row to reopen its configuration window.
  2. Go to SSO tab > Actions > Download certificate.

Tip:

The certificate.pem will download to your local Downloads folder.

To configure CloudHealth

  1. In the Tanzu CloudHealth Platform, navigate to Setup > Admin > SSO Configuration.
  2. From the SSO Provider dropdown, select SAML and enter the following information:
    • Domains for SSO -enter domain names in company.com format
    • Sign In Endpoint - copy the 探花大神 IDP URL
    • Signing Certificate - copy and paste the contents of the certificate downloaded in the previous section
    • User-Organization Association - check this option if the IdP does not support passing the organization that the user should be assigned to.
    • Default Organization: From the dropdown, select the organization to which all new users should be assigned.
  3. Click Update SSO Configuration. Tanzu CloudHealth generates a DNS token for each domain you provided during SAML SSO configuration. The domains are placed under Pending status.

Validate Pending SSO Domains

  1. In the Tanzu CloudHealth Platform, navigate to Setup > Admin > SSO Domains.
  2. In the Pending Domains, copy the value of the DNS Token for the domain you want to validate.
  3. Go to your domain provider, and add the DNS token as a聽TXT token聽to the domain. Tanzu CloudHealth uses the TXT token to validate the domain. This process can take up to 72 hours. Validated tokens appear in the聽Claimed Domains聽section. After the domain is validated, all users who are listed in the IDP will have access to the Tanzu CloudHealth Platform. Users cannot sign into the Tanzu CloudHealth Platform using their existing credentials.

Using JIT Provisioning

Additional attributes are required to use JIT provisioning. JIT required attributes are prepopulated and are on by default to enable JIT provisioning. You can鈥檛 edit the JIT required service provider attributes. You can customize the 探花大神 attribute name and the constant value for JIT required attributes. Toggle off the attributes to opt out of sending the attributes in the SAML assertion.

To complete the provisioning process

  1. Authorize a user鈥檚 access to the application in 探花大神.  
  2. Have the user log in to the application using SSO. The SAML assertion passes from 探花大神 to the service provider, and gives the service provider the information it needs to create the user account.

Authorizing User SSO Access

Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to 探花大神, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Applications, Users List or User Groups 辫补驳别.听

To authorize user access from the Application’s page

  1. Log in to the .
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
  3. Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
  4. Select the check box next to the desired group of users to which you want to give access.
  5. Click Save.听

Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)

IdP-initiated user workflow

  • Access the
  • Go to聽Applications and click an application tile to launch it
  • 探花大神 asserts the user's identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application

SP-initiated user workflow

  • Go聽to the SP application login - generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO

Note:

This varies by SP.

  • Login redirects the user to 探花大神 where the user enters their 探花大神 credentials
  • After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected聽back to the SP and automatically logged in
