WSO2 Identity Server as an IDP

Question

My Use case is a very simple one . I want to use WSO2 Identity Server to implement SAML2.0 SSO in our app deployment .

• We don't have an external identity provider like facebook or google , so we want the identity server itself to act like an identity provider , [Local Authentication ]

• We want the authentication for the SP to be done against a local user store [AD]

• The SSO login is going to be IDP initiated.

• The login page has to be customized.

I went through the documentation tutorials and while the architecture page does mention that all this is possible , but I could not find any actual tutorial which explains how to do this .

Can someone link me to the tutorial pages which describe how to do this or , provide a rundown of the steps required ?

Answer 1

Yes all of these are possible with WSO2 Identity Server. Unfortunately there isn't any single tutorial/documentation to cover this in single but I can provide you each for every step.

1. Configuring active directory.
2. SSO with SAML.
3. IDP Initiated SSO.
4. Customizing login page.
