探花大神

Integrate with MongoDB Cloud

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 MongoDB Cloud. 

Prerequisites

  • A 探花大神 administrator account
  • 探花大神 SSO Package or higher or SSO 脿 la carte option
  • A MongoDB Cloud user account with administrator permissions
  • Your MongoDB Cloud ID

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.

  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_ID with your Mongo ID.
  4. Add or change any 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 MongoDB Cloud

  1. Log in to MongoDB Cloud.
  2. From the Context dropdown in the left navigation, select the organization for which you want to manage federation settings.
  3. Navigate to Settings > Manage Federation Settings > Visit Federation Management App > Manage Identity Providers > Setup Identity Provider.
  4. Enter the following information:
    • Configuration Name - enter 探花大神
    • Issuer URI - enter the 探花大神 IdP Entity ID
    • Single Sign-On URL - enter the 探花大神 IDP URL
    • Identity Provider Signature Certificate - browse to and select the certificate file downloaded in the previous section
    • Request Binding - select HTTP POST
    • Response Signature Algorithm - select SHA-256
    • Apply to Organizations - select your organization

Note:

MongoDB will grant users membership to this organization when they authenticate through 探花大神 the first time.

  1. Click Next and then Finish.
  2. To verify your domain, go to Domains and click Add Domains.
  3. Enter the Display Name and your Domain Name, then click Next.

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

Removing the SSO Integration

Important:

These are steps for removing the integration in 探花大神. Consult your SP's documentation for any additional steps needed to remove the integration in the SP. Failure to remove the integration successfully for both the SP and 探花大神 may result in users losing access to the application.

To deactivate the SSO Integration

  1. Log in to the .
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
