Setup SSO in SAP IAS with Auth0 for SAP Commissions
What is Auth0?
Auth0 provides authentication and authorization as a service. You can connect any application (written in any language or on any stack) to Auth0 and define the identity providers you want to use (how you want your users to log in)..
Let’s jump into the use case …
Set up an Auth0 application
Go to https://auth0.com/ and sign up for a new account or login to your existing account.
Step 1 : Go to Applications from left side Menu
Step 2 : Select Applications for Integration with SAP IAS
Step 3 – You need to enter your SAP IAS URL as Application Login URI
Step 4 – You need to update your SAP IAS Assertion Consumer Service Endpoint
( Login to SAP IAS – Applications & Resources – Tenant Settings – SAML 2.0 Authentication)
Go to your applications – Addons – Download SAML metadata.xml
Go to user Management and create one of your user to test it out.
Create user and which should match same in your SAP IAS tenant.
Set up an SAP IAS for Auth0
Go to Identity Providers – Corporate Identity Provider from left menu and create a Identity Provider as per your choice of name.
Go to SAML 2.0 Configuration and upload the Auth0 SAML 2.0 metadata.xml
Save the configuration
User is created in IAS as per Auth0 and matches with Login Name and UserId
Configuring your application
Login to your SAP IAS with Admin role and Go to Applications & Resources – Applications
You will have to upload SAP Commissions sp.xml into SAML 2.0 Configuration
Go to Conditional Authentication and select Default Identity Provider – Auth0 (which is created through above step from Corporate Identity Provider)
Setup SAP Commission using SAP IAS
Login to your SAP Commissions with your Admin role.
Go to Global Settings – SAML Federation Settings to configure
Upload SAP IAS Metadata.xml from Applications & Resources – Tenant Settings
Users can login through Auth0 and go through assertion validation when users enters credentials.
