Integrating the hybrid service with a single sign-on identity provider
Administrator Help | TRITON AP-WEB | Version 8.0.x
Single sign-on uses an identity provider to authenticate user identity, attributes, and roles with enterprise directories. All communications between components are secured.
When single sign-on is installed on your network, clients connecting to the hybrid proxy are redirected to an identity provider. The identity provider must be configured if off-site users are to be authenticated. Once single sign-on has authenticated a user against your directory service, they are directed back to the hybrid proxy and the appropriate policy is applied. Clients who have authenticated once do not then have to authenticate again for subsequent browsing sessions.
Currently, only PingFederate is supported as a single sign-on identity provider. For information on how to deploy PingFederate, please visit their website.
To integrate a single sign-on identity provider:
1.
On the Settings > Hybrid Configuration > User Access page, download and install the hybrid SSL certificate to ensure seamless authentication to HTTPS sites.
If the certificate is not installed for single sign-on users, they receive a certificate error when they browse to an HTTPS site. If they then select the "Continue to this website (not recommended)" link, they must authenticate using NTLM identification or manual authentication, depending on the settings on the Hybrid User Identification page. See Enabling hybrid HTTPS notification pages.
2.
Mark Use PingFederate as the identity provider for single sign-on to activate single sign-on for all client machines.
3.
Once single sign-on is configured and the SSL certificate is installed on clients, copy the metadata URL from the identity provider's metadata and enter it in the Metadata URL field on the Hybrid User Identification page.
4.
Under Session Timeout, define how often users' credentials are revalidated for security reasons. The default options are 1, 7, 14, or 30 days.
 
* 
Note 
It is possible to extend the Session Timeout options to 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. To enable this extended feature, contact Websense Technical Support.
