Federated Identities to Windows Azure Pack through AD FS – Part 2 of 3

  • Artykuł

In few of the previous posts, Anders Ravnholt discussed Installation & Configuration of WAP and Reconfiguration with FQDNs, ports and Trusted Certificates in detail. In this series, I will discuss how to configure AD FS and enable it to provide Identities to your WAP installation.

Scenario

Contoso Inc. is a Service Provider that hosts a private cloud stack and offers Compute resources to their customers. Contoso wants to install a Windows Azure Pack stack and

  1. Provide administrative access to users from its own Active Directory
  2. Provide self-service access to the Tenant Portal to users from Fabrikam Corp, one of its customers.

In the first part of this blog series, we discussed how Contoso can set up an AD FS Farm in their Corp domain pcloud.contoso.corp.

In this second part, we will discuss how Contoso can set up trust between the AD FS instance and the WAP Admin Portal and provides its users, access to the Management Portal.

In the third part, we will discuss how Contoso can enable Fabrikam's users to access the Tenant portal by establishing trust between Fabrikam's AD FS and Contoso's AD FS.

 Drawing1Personas

Rob is a Fabric Administrator who is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure. Rob was tasked with installing the Windows Azure Pack Stack for Contoso Inc.

Mary is the Domain administrator for pcloud.contoso.corp domain in Contoso's Active Directory. Mary has necessary permissions to configure the AD FS linked to the domain.

Alan is a Tenant Administrator who is responsible for Creating and Managing Plans and Subscriptions in Windows Azure Pack.

Scope

  • In this scenario, we assume the following about the environment:
  • Windows Azure Pack is already set up in the pcloud.contoso.corp domain
  • AD FS is enabled and configured for the pcloud.contoso.corp domain
  • Alan has a user id in the pcloud.contoso.corp domain
  • All the components in the environment have been configured with certificates from a Trusted CA      
     
  • We also assume the following about you, the reader:

Federating AD FS with WAP

In Order to enable AD FS to provide Identities with WAP, configurations need to happen in two places:

  1. Mary, who is the domain administrator, needs to add the WAP Admin Portal as a Relying Party with AD FS. This is to let AD FS know that the Admin portal will be requesting identities from it
  2. Rob, who has access to the infrastructure, needs to configure the WAP Admin Portal to forward users to AD FS to get their identities validated.

AD FS Configuration

  1. Mary opens the AD FS Console, from either the Server Manager, or by adding the AD FS snapin from the mmc console

  2. On the AD FS console, selects “Relying Party Trusts”   and clicks on   “Add Relying Party Trust” from the Actions sidebar  to open the “Add Relying Party Trust Wizard”

     

  3. In the Select Data Source  step, Mary points the wizard to pick up federation metadata settings from the WAP admin Portal. The federation metadata file can usually be found at
    https://<adminPortalUri>/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml
     

    Alternatively, this metadata file can also be downloaded from the above location and imported into the wizard from a file

  4. She specifies a friendly display name for the Admin Portal and clicks Next
     

  5. The remaining steps in the wizard deals with configuring Multifactor Authentication, Issuance Authorization rules etc which are not currently needed for this scenario and so she leaves them as is with the default values and completes the wizard

  6. Once the Relying Party has successfully been added, Mary will have to configure the Claim Transformation Rules so that ADFS is aware of what claims to send to the particular relying party, in this case, the WAP Admin Portal. The WAP portals can understand two kinds of Claims, UPN and Group Claims. So there are four rules that have to be created in ADFS to issue these claims

  7. In the “Add Transform Claim rule Wizard” , the Claim rule template should be selected as " ”Send LDAP Attributes as Claims”   and click Next

    In the next step, Mary provides a Friendly rule name and selects the Attribute store as Active Directory and in the Mapping table, maps User-Principal-Name  to UPN outgoing claim.
     
    A similar process is repeated for adding Group Claims. Select Token-Groups – Qualified by Domain to map to Group outgoing claim
     

  8. In some cases a UPN might already be available to AD FS. To handle these scenarios, there are two additional rules that need to be added to flow the UPN claims through as-is. In the “Add Transform Claim rule Wizard” select, “Pass Through or Filter an Incoming Claim”  
     image
           
    in the next step, she provides a friendly name to the rule, and specifies the Incoming Claim Type as UPN and clicks Finish
     

    A similar process is repeated for the Group Claim         
            image

  9. Now that all four rules are added for this relying party, she finally clicks on Apply and is done with the Claim Transformation Rules
     

  10. Now that this is done, as the final step, Mary has to enable JWT tokens for the Relying Party. This cannot be done via UI and so she opens up a PowerShell window and verifies the settings of the Relying Party that was just added. The command is as below

        1: Get-AdfsRelyingPartyTrust -Name "WAP Admin Portal"

    image

  11. She notes down the Identifier for the relying Party which is typically “https://azureservices/AdminSite” and confirms that the EnableJWT value is set to False. This now needs to be set to true to enable JWT tokens. She uses the cmd below to do this

        1: Set-AdfsRelyingPartyTrust -TargetIdentifier 'https://azureservices/AdminSite' -EnableJWT $true

     

With that, the AD FS side of things is done and ready to go!

WAP Configuration

Once Mary is done configuring AD FS, Rob, the fabric administrator, can now come in and configure the WAP Admin Portal to add AD FS as the Identity Provider. Rob will also have to give Alan permissions to Administer Plans and subscriptions and maintain the WAP stack.

  1. Rob logs on to the machine where WAP is installed, and runs the following PowerShell

        1: $fqdn = 'adfs.pcloud.contoso.corp'
    2: $dbServer = 'ContosoWAP'
    3: $dbPassword = 'pass@word1'
    4: $portalConfigStoreConnectionString = [string]::Format('Data Source={0};Initial Catalog=Microsoft.MgmtSvc.PortalConfigStore;User ID=sa;Password={1}', $dbServer, $dbPassword)
    5:  
    6: Set-MgmtSvcRelyingPartySettings -Target Admin `
    7:     -MetadataEndpoint https://$fqdn/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml `
    8:     -ConnectionString $portalConfigStoreConnectionString

    the $fqdn  variable refers to the Federation Service Name of AD FS
      

  2. The only thing left to do is to give Alan permissions to access the Admin portal. ie. add him as an administrator. This can be done by the following PowerShell command

    Note: The name specified in the Principal parameter should match exactly with the UPN that is supplied by AD FS.

        1: $dbServer = 'ContosoWAP'
    2: $dbPassword = 'pass@word1'
    3: $portalConfigStoreConnectionString = [string]::Format('Data Source={0};Initial Catalog=Microsoft.MgmtSvc.Store;User ID=sa;Password={1}', $dbServer, $dbPassword)
    4:  
    5: Add-MgmtSvcAdminUser -Principal alanj@pcloud.contoso.corp -ConnectionString $portalConfigStoreConnectionString

                

  3. Now  Alan can sign in with his credentials to the Admin Portal 
     

That’s it! Smile Alan can take over from here and administer Windows Azure Pack .

In the next part, we will take a look at the tenant side of things and how to federate Fabrikam’s AD FS with Contoso to provide tenant identities.
