Simplifying Authentication with SAML in TCPWave IPAM

Your key to a secure workflow: SAML authentication

TCPWAVE

Transform your workflow with streamlined SAML integration.

TCPWave IPAM provides support for SAML authentication, enabling organizations to leverage the single sign-on (SSO) login standard for secure and efficient user authentication. By utilizing SAML, TCPWave IPAM ensures that user credentials remain within the firewall boundary, offering a centralized and secure authentication process.

Architecture Overview

The architectural diagram above showcases the seamless user authentication process with SAML support in TCPWave IPAM. SAML SSO involves the transfer of user identity from the identity provider (IDP) to the service provider (TCPWave IPAM) through digitally signed XML documents.

  • The user accesses the IDP and initiates the login request to TCPWave IPAM.
  • The application identifies the user's origin and redirects them to the IDP for authentication.
  • Once the user's identity is established, the IDP generates an XML document containing the user's information, signs it, and sends it to TCPWave IPAM.
  • TCPWave IPAM receives and validates the authentication response using the certificate fingerprint.
  • With the user's identity confirmed, TCPWave IPAM grants application access to the user.

OKTA - IDP Configuration

The integration between TCPWave IPAM and Okta involves the following steps:

  • Log in to the Okta dashboard and access the Developer Console in Classical UI mode.
  • Add a new application and select the "SAML 2.0" sign method option.
  • Configure the SAML settings with relevant values, such as Single sign-on URL, Audience URI, and Name ID format.
  • Add desired attributes in the Attributes section.
  • Configure TCPWave IPAM global options with the IDP provider details.
  • Users will now see the Okta IDP login screen when accessing the TCPWave IPAM application.
ONELOGIN - IDP Configuration

The integration between TCPWave IPAM and OneLogin involves the following steps:

  • Login to the OneLogin dashboard and select the Administration menu.
  • Add an app and select SAML Test Connector (Idp w/attr).
  • Create a new app and configure the application parameters with the provided values.
  • Configure TCPWave IPAM global options with the IDP provider details.
  • Users will now see the OneLogin IDP login screen when accessing the TCPWave IPAM application.
