Configure AD FS for SAML

Suggest Edits

Active Directory Federated Services (AD FS) for SAML configuration can be authenticated one of two ways: by uploading the identity provider's (IdP) metadata file, or by manually configuring with specific IdP fields.

Table of Contents

Prerequisites

  • id.swg.umbrella.com must be sent to the Umbrella secure web gateway (SWG) and not sent directly to the internet.
  • SAML metadata must have a signing key.
  • Ensure that your IDP Endpoint (the URL used to communicate with your identity provider) bypasses the Umbrella proxy to avoid an authentication loop.
  • Configure SAML with your identity provider (IdP) that supports SAML 2.0 POST profiles.
  • Download your IdP's metadata file in XML format.
  • Enable cookies for your browser.
  • Enable SAML and HTTPS inspection on a Ruleset that includes the Network and Tunnel identities from which the user traffic arrives.

=> issue(store = "Active Directory", types = ("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress"), query = ";userPrincipalName;{0}", param = c.Value);

  1. Repeat step 7 with the following configuration.
c:[Type == "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress"] 

=> issue(Type = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/nameidentifier", Issuer = c.Issuer, OriginalIssuer = c.OriginalIssuer, Value = c.Value, ValueType = c.ValueType, Properties["http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/format"] = "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress");
