PingFederate를 사용한 인증 및 프로비저닝 구성

When you use Enterprise Managed Users, SAML SSO controls and secures access to enterprise resources like repositories, issues, and pull requests. SCIM automatically creates user accounts and manages access to your enterprise when you make changes on your IdP. You can also synchronize teams on GitHub with groups on your IdP. For more information, see "About Enterprise Managed Users."

Overview

This guide will help you to set up both SAML authentication and SCIM provisioning for GitHub on PingFederate.

Before you start, please note the following:

• This guide is based on PingFederate version 12.1. Instructions may vary for other versions.
• This guide provides the minimal steps to configure a working setup. Because your identity directory may be connected to PingFederate differently, you’ll need to pick the correct data attributes for SAML and SCIM based on what is available from your backing data store.

Prerequisites

If you're configuring SCIM provisioning for a new enterprise, make sure to complete all previous steps in the initial configuration process. See "Getting started with Enterprise Managed Users."

In addition:

• You must have installed the "GitHub EMU connector" on PingFederate. To download and install the connector, see Install the provisioner in the PingIdentity documentation.
• To provision users with SCIM, you must use an LDAP server as the backing data store.
• You may need to configure the firewall in PingFederate to allow outbound connections to the SCIM endpoints on GitHub:
  • For GitHub.com: https://api.github.com/scim/v2/enterprises/ENTERPRISE
  • For GHE.com: https://api.SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com/scim/v2/enterprises/SUBDOMAIN
• PingFederate's "provisioner mode" must be set to a value that allows SCIM provisioning. See the "Before you begin" section in PingIdentity's Configuring outbound provisioning settings guide.
• During this procedure, you will need to upload an X509 certificate to PingFederate. You may want to create and store the certificate before proceeding. You will also need the challenge password for the certificate. See the "Example of creating an X509 certificate" section later in this article.
• During this procedure, you will need to upload a SAML metadata file to PingFederate. If you're setting up an enterprise that uses data residency on GHE.com, it is easiest to create this file before you start. See "Creating a SAML metadata file for GHE.com."

1. Configure SAML

In this section you will create a SAML connector in PingFederate, set up an LDAP IdP adapter instance, and manage SAML output from your IdP adapter.

1. Create a SAML adapter
2. Set up an LDAP IdP adapter instance
3. Manage SAML output from your IdP adapter

Before starting this section, ensure you have followed the previous steps in "Getting started with Enterprise Managed Users."

4. Open the metadata file you downloaded, and have it ready for the next steps.

Configure GitHub

1. Sign in to GitHub as the setup user for your enterprise.

2. Enable SAML in your enterprise settings. See "Configuring SAML single sign-on for Enterprise Managed Users."

3. Enter the following values from the SAML metadata file from the previous section.

   • For the "Single sign-on URL," use the location value of the <md: SingleSignOnService> field. This should be a URL ending /idp/SSO.saml2.
   • For the "Issuer," use the entityId value of the <md: EntityDescriptor> field (a URL).

4. For the "Verification certificate," upload the X509 certificate file that you created earlier.

5. Click Save settings.

2. Configure SCIM

In this section, you'll configure SCIM settings and attribute mapping on PingFederate.

1. Configure SCIM settings
2. Map LDAP fields to SCIM
3. Finish configuration and test

Before starting this section, ensure you have followed the previous steps in "Getting started with Enterprise Managed Users."

Configure SCIM settings

1. Go back to the "SP Connections" page on PingFederate, and select the SP connection you created earlier.

2. Click the "Connection Type" tab.

3. Select Outbound Provisioning.

4. Ensure Browser SSO Profiles is selected.

5. Click Next until you reach the "Outbound Provisioning" tab, then click Configure Provisioning.

6. On the "Target" tab, enter the following details.

   • "Base URL": https://api.github.com/scim/v2/enterprises/{enterprise}/ or https://api.SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com/scim/v2/enterprises/SUBDOMAIN
   • "Access Token": The personal access token (classic) created for the setup user

7. Click Next.

8. On the "Manage Channel" tab, click Create, then enter a unique channel name, such as pfghscim.

9. Click Next.

10. On the "Source" tab, choose the data store that you created earlier.

11. Click Next.

12. On the "Source Settings" tab, you can keep all default settings. Other settings are likely to work, but have not been confirmed.

13. Click Next.

14. On the "Source Location" tab, configure where in your LDAP server you would like provisioned users to come from. This will vary depending on your setup and needs. After configuring, click Next.

Map LDAP fields to SCIM

On the "Attribute Mapping" tab, you will need to map fields from your LDAP server to SCIM fields. See the following list for GitHub's supported SCIM fields and the values expected in each one.

• Username: This will be normalized and used as the GitHub username for the provisioned user. See "Username considerations for external authentication." This must match the normalization of the subject sent with the SAML assertion that you configured with the SAML_SUBJECT property in PingFederate.
• Email: A field containing the user's email address.
• Display Name: A human-readable name for the user.
• Formatted Name: The user's full name, including all middle names, titles, and suffixes, formatted for display.
• First Name: The first name of the user.
• Last Name: The last name of the user.
• External ID: This identifier is generated by an IdP provider.
• Roles: This field should contain a string that represents the user's intended role on GitHub. Valid roles are enterprise_owner, user, billing_manager, and guest_collaborator.

When you have finished configuring these settings, click Next.

Finish configuration and test

1. On the "Activation & Summary" tab, for the "Channel Status," select Active.
2. On the "Manage Channels" tab, click Done.
3. On the "Outbound Provisioning" tab, click Save. SCIM is now configured and enabled.
4. Wait a few minutes for provisioning to run, then open a new private browser window and navigate to GitHub.
5. Click Sign in with SAML. You should be redirected to the PingFederate login page.
6. You should be able to sign in with the credentials for a user in the LDAP server that has been provisioned to GitHub.

PingFederate provisioning handles users and groups independently. Users must be assigned directly in order to be provisioned. Users who are in an assigned group but not directly assigned will not be provisioned.

Example of creating an X509 certificate

There are multiple ways to create an X509 certificate. Here is an example that may work for your requirements.

1. In a terminal window, check that OpenSSL is installed by running openssl version. If it's not installed, install it.

2. Generate the private key using the following command.

   Shell

   openssl req -nodes -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MyPrivateKey.key -out MyCertificateRequest.csr
   

   Enter the required information, and take note of the challenge password you create.

3. To ensure the key was created, run the following command. A file named MyPrivateKey.key should be listed in the command output.

   Shell

   ls | grep MyPrivateKey.key
   

4. Generate the certificate using the following command.

   Shell

   openssl x509 -req -days 365 -sha256 -in MyCertificateRequest.csr -signkey MyPrivateKey.key -out pfgh256.crt
   

5. To ensure the certificate was created, run the following command. A file named pfgh256.crt should be listed in the command output.

   Shell

   ls | grep pfgh256.crt
   

6. Export a PKCS #12 file using the following command. This is the file you should upload to PingFederate.

   Shell

   openssl pkcs12 -export -in pfgh256.crt -inkey MyPrivateKey.key -out pfgh256.p12
   

7. To ensure the file was exported, run the following command. A file named pfgh256.p12 should be listed in the command output.

   Shell

   ls | grep pfgh256.p12
   

Creating a SAML metadata file for GHE.com

Because some values differ from the metadata file that PingFederate provides for GitHub.com, you will create an XML file for your enterprise's SAML metadata manually.

1. Copy the following XML into a text editor.

   XML

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <md:EntityDescriptor xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"
     entityID="https://SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com/enterprises/SUBDOMAIN" cacheDuration="PT1440M">
     <md:SPSSODescriptor protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"
       AuthnRequestsSigned="false" WantAssertionsSigned="false">
       <md:NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified</md:NameIDFormat>
       <md:AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
         Location="https://SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com/enterprises/SUBDOMAIN/saml/consume" isDefault="true"
         index="0"/>
     </md:SPSSODescriptor>
   </md:EntityDescriptor>
   

2. Replace all instances of SUBDOMAIN with your enterprise's subdomain of GHE.com. For example: octocorp.

3. Save the file as an XML file.

4. Return to the instructions in "Creating a SAML adapter."
