Integrating OneLogin Single Sign-On (SSO) with Jumpserver

Overview: This article describes integrating OneLogin Single Sign-On (SSO) with Jumpserver, focusing on configuring SAML settings in OneLogin and Jumpserver for web application authentication.

SAML is an authentication mechanism for web applications. It's based on web protocols and it cannot be used for user authentication over SSH. 

Step 1: Log in to OneLogin and Add the Application.

 

Step 2: Search for SAML TEST and select SAML Test Connector (Advanced).

Step 3: Change the Display name and save. 

Step 4: Select the configuration tab from the right panel and fill in the Application details.

  •     Audience (EntityID) - Entity ID ( you can find it from ezeelogin GU > Settings > SAML)     
  •      Recipient  - Assertion Consumer Service URL ( you can find it from ezeelogin GU > Settings > SAML)
  •      ACS (Consumer) URL Validator - Entity ID ( you can find it from ezeelogin GU > Settings > SAML)
  •      ACS (Consumer) URL
  •      Single Logout URL - Single Logout Service URL  ( you can find it from ezeelogin GU > Settings > SAML)   

Step 5: Select the SSO tab from the right panel & Copy the Issuer URL and paste it  to the Metadata URL  on Ezeelogin GUI -> Settings -> SAML Metadata URL 

Step 6: Click on the fetch button, it will auto-fill the SAML setting and SAVE it.

Step 7:  Select the users tab from the left panel and click on the new user then provide first name, last name, and email to save the user.

Step 8:  Select applications from the left panel and click on the add icon to map the application to the user.

Step 9:  Select the application from drop-down and then save the application.

Step 10: Change Web panel Authentication to SAML from Ezeelogin GUI -> Settings -> General ->Authentication.

Step 11: Enable Auto Create User from Ezeelogin GUI -> Settings -> General -> Security -> Enable Auto Create User.

Step 12: Log in to Ezeelogin GUI with SAML authentication.

Step 13: After logging into GUI, you need to reset the password and security code of the SAML user under Account -> Password in order to SSH to Ezeelogin backend(ezsh).

Step 14: You can log in to Ezeelogin shell via Webssh or using any SSH client such as Putty or terminal etc.

Step 14(A): Click on the 'Open Web SSH Console' icon to SSH via the browser.

WebSSH terminal will open like below. Users can navigate the server group with the Up and Down arrow buttons and enter to log into the server.

Step 14(B): Native SSH Client: After resetting the password and security code you can SSH to the Ezeelogin backend(ezsh) using Terminal or Putty with the SAML username.

Step 15: When SSH with 2FA enabled using Putty or Terminal it would prompt you to enter the 2FA codes. You can disable this for SAML Authentication by enabling skip two factor authentication for SAML under Settings -> Two Factor Authentication -> Skip Two Factor Authentication for SAML.

We recommend using the web ssh shell when you are using SAML authentication, which is a lot more convenient as you would not have to worry about the SSH password or the security code for the users.

  • You need to add a different email address for each user. By default, Ezeelogin uses email addresses for creating users. 
  • If you want to add an existing user in Ezeelogin to SSO, Add the user with the exact username, and email address as follows. (Ezeelogin will verify with the email address of the users by default). Make sure to add the email address for the Ezeelogin Administrator user.
  • Saml authentication is not supported for slaves if the URL is IP-based. If you want to authenticate slave using saml you have to use the domain name.
