Deploy conditional access app control for any web app using PingOne as the identity provider (IdP)

  • مقالة

You can configure session controls in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to work with any web app and any non-Microsoft IdP. This article describes how to route app sessions from PingOne to Defender for Cloud Apps for real-time session controls.

For this article, we'll use the Salesforce app as an example of a web app being configured to use Defender for Cloud Apps session controls. To configure other apps, perform the same steps according to their requirements.

Prerequisites

  • Your organization must have the following licenses to use conditional access app control:

    • A relevant PingOne license (required for single sign-on)
    • Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

  • An existing PingOne single sign-on configuration for the app using the SAML 2.0 authentication protocol

To configure session controls for your app using PingOne as the IdP

Use the following steps to route your web app sessions from PingOne to Defender for Cloud Apps.

Note

You can configure the app's SAML single sign-on information provided by PingOne using one of the following methods:

  • Option 1: Uploading the app's SAML metadata file.
  • Option 2: Manually providing the app's SAML data.

In the following steps, we'll use option 2.

Step 1: Get your app's SAML single sign-on settings

Step 2: Configure Defender for Cloud Apps with your app's SAML information

Step 3: Create a custom app in PingOne

Step 4: Configure Defender for Cloud Apps with the PingOne app's information

Step 5: Complete the custom app in PingOne

Step 6: Get the app changes in Defender for Cloud Apps

Step 7: Complete the app changes

Step 8: Complete the configuration in Defender for Cloud Apps

Step 1: Get your app's SAML single sign-on settings

  1. In Salesforce, browse to Setup > Settings > Identity > Single Sign-On Settings.

  2. Under Single Sign-On Settings, select the name of your existing SAML 2.0 configuration.

    Select Salesforce SSO settings.

  3. On the SAML Single Sign-On Setting page, make a note of the Salesforce Login URL. You'll need this later.

    Note

    If your app provides a SAML certificate, download the certificate file.

    Select Salesforce SSO login URL.

Step 2: Configure Defender for Cloud Apps with your app's SAML information

  1. In the Microsoft Defender Portal, select Settings. Then choose Cloud Apps.

  2. Under Connected apps, select Conditional Access App Control apps.

  3. Select +Add, and in the pop-up, select the app you want to deploy, and then select Start Wizard.

  4. On the APP INFORMATION page, select Fill in data manually, in the Assertion consumer service URL enter the Salesforce Login URL you noted earlier, and then select Next.

    Note

    If your app provides a SAML certificate, select Use <app_name> SAML certificate and upload the certificate file.

    Manually fill in Salesforce SAML information.

Step 3: Create a custom app in PingOne

Before you proceed, use the following steps to get information from your existing Salesforce app.

  1. In PingOne, edit your existing Salesforce app.

  2. On the SSO Attribute Mapping page, make a note of the SAML_SUBJECT attribute and value, and then download the Signing Certificate and SAML Metadata files.

    Note existing Salesforce app's attributes.

  3. Open the SAML metadata file and make a note of the PingOne SingleSignOnService Location. You'll need this later.

    Note existing Salesforce app's SSO service location.

  4. On the Group Access page, make a note of the assigned groups.

    Note existing Salesforce app's assigned groups.

Then use the instructions from the Add a SAML application with your identity provider page to configure a custom app in your IdP's portal.

Add SAML app with your identity provider.

Note

Configuring a custom app enables you to test the existing app with access and session controls without changing the current behavior for your organization.

  1. Create a New SAML Application.

    In PingOne, create new custom Salesforce app.

  2. On the Application Details page, fill out the form, and then select Continue to Next Step.

    Tip

    Use an app name that will help you to differentiate between the custom app and the existing Salesforce app.

    Fill out the custom app details.

  3. On the Application Configuration page, do the following, and then select Continue to Next Step.

    • In the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) field, enter the Salesforce Login URL you noted earlier.
    • In the Entity ID field, enter a unique ID starting with https://. Make sure this is different from the exiting Salesforce PingOne app's configuration.
    • Make a note of the Entity ID. You'll need this later.

    Configure custom app with Salesforce SAML details.

  4. On the SSO Attribute Mapping page, add the existing Salesforce app's SAML_SUBJECT attribute and value you noted earlier, and then select Continue to Next Step.

    Add attributes to custom Salesforce app.

  5. On the Group Access page, add the existing Salesforce app's groups you noted earlier, and complete the configuration.

    Assign groups to custom Salesforce app.

Step 4: Configure Defender for Cloud Apps with the PingOne app's information

  1. Back in the Defender for Cloud Apps IDENTITY PROVIDER page, select Next to proceed.

  2. On the next page, select Fill in data manually, do the following, and then select Next.

    • For the Assertion consumer service URL, enter the Salesforce Login URL you noted earlier.
    • Select Upload identity provider's SAML certificate and upload the certificate file you downloaded earlier.

    Add SSO service URL and SAML certificate.

  3. On the next page, make a note of the following information, and then select Next. You'll need the information later.

    • Defender for Cloud Apps single sign-on URL
    • Defender for Cloud Apps attributes and values

    In Defender for Cloud Apps, note SSO URL and attributes.

Step 5: Complete the custom app in PingOne

  1. In PingOne, locate and edit the custom Salesforce app.

    Locate and edit custom Salesforce app.

  2. In the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) field, replace the URL with the Defender for Cloud Apps single sign-on URL you noted earlier, and then select Next.

    Replace ACS in custom Salesforce app.

  3. Add the Defender for Cloud Apps attributes and values you noted earlier to the app's properties.

    Add Defender for Cloud Apps attributes to custom Salesforce app.

  4. Save your settings.

Step 6: Get the app changes in Defender for Cloud Apps

Back in the Defender for Cloud Apps APP CHANGES page, do the following, but don't select Finish. You'll need the information later.

  • Copy the Defender for Cloud Apps SAML Single sign-on URL
  • Download the Defender for Cloud Apps SAML certificate

Note the Defender for Cloud Apps SAML SSO URL and download the certificate.

Step 7: Complete the app changes

In Salesforce, browse to Setup > Settings > Identity > Single Sign-On Settings, and do the following:

  1. Recommended: Create a backup of your current settings.

  2. Replace the Identity Provider Login URL field value with the Defender for Cloud Apps SAML single sign-on URL you noted earlier.

  3. Upload the Defender for Cloud Apps SAML certificate you downloaded earlier.

  4. Replace the Entity ID field value with the PingOne custom app Entity ID you noted earlier.

  5. Select Save.

    Note

    The Defender for Cloud Apps SAML certificate is valid for one year. After it expires, a new certificate will need to be generated.

    Update custom Salesforce app with Defender for Cloud Apps SAML details.

Step 8: Complete the configuration in Defender for Cloud Apps

  • Back in the Defender for Cloud Apps APP CHANGES page, select Finish. After completing the wizard, all associated login requests to this app will be routed through conditional access app control.
