How to use to custom SQL attribute store to generate claims and authorize user.

This blog will help you to understand how you can configure ADFS to use SQL to use the value from the table and generate token and authorize the user.

Before moving ahead you require your ADFS setup and running.

You can refer this blogs which helps you to configure ADFS 2.0 with SharePoint 2010

https://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/07/30/configuring-sharepoint-2010-and-adfs-v2-end-to-end.aspx

Follow the steps below to configure SQL and ADFS and SharePoint server.

  • Create a new Database by name : Peoplestore
  • Create a new table named :Attribute
  • Create columns eg: User ID, Logon, Department\Organization\Firm
  • Add values to it:

Eg :

 Note: Make sure we have proper permission on the Database created

Here proper permission means the ADFS account should be able to access this SQL database. We don’t need write access, a read access to the DB will be more than enough.

if you face issues with generating claims, you can check the event viewer on ADFS server for the event related to permission and grant the required permission on the DB.

On ADFS server

 Add SQL attribute store

 

 

 

Imp note : Display Name: SQL

 

  • Modify Relying party trust
  • Edit claim rule.
  • Add a new claim rule
  • Claim type :

 

 c:[Type == "https://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/windowsaccountname"] => issue(store = "sql", types = ("https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/Firm"), query = "SELECT Firm from dbo.attributes where logon = {0}", param = c.Value);

On Sharepoint Server

  •  Set up claims mapping for "https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/firm
  •  $token = Get-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer
  •  Add new claim type
  • $token.ClaimTypes.Add(https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/Firm)
  •  Add claim type mapping
  •  $firmclaim = New-SPClaimTypeMapping -IncomingCLaimType "https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/Firm" -IncomingClaimTypeDisplayName "Firm" -LocalClaimType https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/Firm
  •  To add claim type to our issuer
  •  $firmclaim | Add-SPClaimTypeMapping -TrustedIdentityTokenIssuer $token

 

In case you want to use a new web application and use the same SAML token provider

  •  Add URI
  • $uri = new-object System.Uri(https://sunshine.vinit.com)
  • $token.ProviderRealms.Add($uri, "urn:sharepoint:sunshine")
  • $token.Update()

 

You are done now, how to verify

 On Claims enabled site, create a new document library

Break the permission and add Microsoft as the claim.

Login to site with the rakeshsa, we should be able to see document library, login with Adam and the document library will be security trimmed.

 

To verify if you have got the correct claim, here is the wsp package which can you help you.

Steps remains same on how to deploy the WSP package.

In short, deploy the package, activate it, use the webpart on newly created page( just to avoid messing up with default.aspx)

And then you should be able to see the claims, attached below is the WSP package.

Output should like something like this
