Agenda

Authentication vs. Authorization Claims Authentication in SharePoint

2010 Integrating Facebook from scratch

New SharePoint 2010 web application Adding an Azure Access Control Service

(ACS) Trusted Identity Provider (Facebook) Going “beyond authentication” to surface

Facebook data in SharePoint and vice versa

Before we begin…

How many of you are… Developers? System administrators? IT professionals? Others?

Integrating SharePoint 2010 with an identity provider such as Facebook will present different challenges for each role

Authentication vs.Authorization

Authentication

Authentication (AuthN) is the process of validating a user’s identity SharePoint never performs

authentication If the login prompt keeps appearing,

think authentication issue! Unless it’s the dreaded

loopback check!

Authorization

Authorization (AuthZ) is the process of determining the resources, features, etc. to which an authenticated user has access

If you see “Access Denied” errors, think authorization issue!

Claims based identity

What is a claim? A piece of information describing a user▪ Name▪ Email Address▪ Role/Group membership▪ Age▪ Hire Date

Whose claims do I trust, and which claims affect authorization decisions I make?

Claims terminology

Token Serialized set of claims about an authenticated

user, digitally signed by the token’s issuer Identity Provider (IP)

Validates user credentials Security Token Service (STS)

Builds, signs, and issues tokens containing claims Relying party (RP)

Applications that makes authorization decisions based on claims (SharePoint 2010)

The Claims paradigm

Decoupling of authentication logic from authorization and personalization logic Applications no longer need to determine who

the user is, they receive claims identifying the user

Great for developers who rarely want to work with identity!

Provides a common way for applications to acquire the identity information they need about users

The Claims paradigm

1. “I’d like to access this protected resource.”2. “I don’t know who you are. Identity provider,

authenticate him.”3. “My user ID is Danny and my password is

BaCoNbAcOn!!1.”4. “Hi, Danny. Here is a token you can

use containing attributes about you.”5. “I’d like to access this resource;

hopefully it has the proof you needto authorize me!”

SharePoint 2010

SharePoint 2010 options

Claims Based Authentication (Tokens) Windows Authentication: NTLM/Kerberos, Basic Forms-Based Authentication (ASP.NET

Membership provider and Role manager) Other Trusted Identity providers (like

Facebook!) Classic Mode Authentication (“Old

School”) Windows Authentication (NTLM/Kerberos) only

Both map authenticated users to SPUser objects (security principals)

Classic or Claims?

The single biggest decision of your life!

Updated TechNet guidance: “For new implementations of SharePoint

Server 2010, you should consider we recommend claims-based authentication.”

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262350.aspx

Sign-in page

Allows users to choose how to authenticate when multiple providers are configured(Mixed Authentication)

/_login/default.aspx

Custom code opportunity http://bit.ly/IR0eRR

Claims viewer web part

Code behind:

http://blogs.pointbridge.com/Blogs/nielsen_travis/Pages/Post.aspx?_ID=32

IClaimsPrincipal claimsPrincipal = Page.User as IClaimsPrincipal;IClaimsIdentity claimsIdentity = (IClaimsIdentity) claimsPrincipal.Identity;GridView1.DataSource = claimsIdentity.Claims;Page.DataBind();

New SharePoint 2010 web application with ClaimsDemo #1

Windows AzureAccess Control Service (ACS)

Azure ACS

Cloud-based service that provides an easy way of authenticating and authorizing users to gain access to web applications

Includes support for Windows Live ID, Google, Yahoo, and Facebook

Also includes support for Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0

Simple browser-based management portal $1.99/100k transactions (free until Nov.

30!)

Adding Facebook support

Three things must be done to add support for users to login to SharePoint via Facebook:

1. Create a Facebook application https://developers.facebook.com/apps

2. Configure ACS for Facebook support Permissions you will request from Facebook

users Relying Party application and Rule Group setup

3. Configure ACS as a Trusted Identity Provider in SharePoint

Is ACS necessary?

No! You can integrate external identity providers with SharePoint without ACS You have no choice if you want to use

identity providers not currently supported by ACS (such as LinkedIn or Twitter)

You will need to write your own code to: Ensure the user has logged in to the IP Obtain claim information from the IP Package and sign tokens (your own STS)

Create a Facebook applicationDemo #2

Create Facebook Application

Click “Create New App” Provide Display Name and

Namespace

Note App ID and App Secret values Provide Website URL to ACS

Configure Azure ACS for FacebookDemo #3

Configure ACS IP

From the ACS management portal, add a new Identity Provider

Configure ACS IP

Enter App ID and App Secret values from Facebook application you created earlier

Enter a comma-delimited list of Application Permissions you want to request https://developers.facebook.com/docs/referenc

e/api/permissions/

In our demo, we will request: email,user_location,user_hometown,user_website,user_work_history,publish_stream,user_birthday,friends_birthday,user_education_history,user_photos,user_about_me

Configure ACS IP

Permissions you request will be displayed to the end user the first time they log in

Request the minimum subset of permissions you need Users are more likely to reject bigger requests

Configure ACS Rule Group

Generate Rule Group Named set of claim rules that define which

identity claims are passed from identity providers to your relying party application

SharePoint will still need to be configured to make use of these claims

Configure Relying Party

Configure Relying Party application Provide Name, Realm, and Return

URL Return URL: Realm + /_trust

Configure Relying Party

Choose SAML 1.1 token format Update Token lifetime to >600

seconds

Select Identity providers and Rule groups

Configure Relying Party

Generate self-signed certificate C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Tools>MakeCert.exe -r -pe -n "CN=dannyjessee.accesscontrol.windows.net" -sky exchange -ss my(Self-signed, exportable, subject key type “exchange,” store in “personal” certificate store)

Development only! Please use a legitimate certificate in production!

Configure Relying Party

Upload this certificate (.pfx format) as the Token Signing Certificate in ACS

Configure ACS as a SharePoint Trusted Identity Provider (IP)Demo #4

Configuring ACS Trusted IP

New-SPTrustedRootAuthority Name, Certificate (self-signed .cer made

earlier)New-SPClaimTypeMapping

IncomingClaimType IncomingClaimTypeDisplayName LocalClaimType (or SameAsIncoming)

New-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer Name, Realm, ImportTrustCertificate ClaimsMappings, SignInUrl, IdentifierClaim

Configuring ACS Trusted IP

Running this PowerShell script will add “Facebook” to the list of Trusted Identity Providers

Eligible to be added to Claims-based web applications in Central Administration

Granting user permissions

Before Facebook users will be authorized to access anything, we must grant them an appropriate level of permissions

Best to set a “Full Read” web application policy for users coming in from Facebook In a public-facing scenario, you likely won’t

know specific user identities to set more granular permissions

Not to mention the people picker problems!

Logging in with FacebookDemo #5

Claims mappings visualized

All claims whose OriginalIssuer isTrustedProvider:Facebook

AccessToken is the key to all user data

Going beyond authentication Make calls to the Facebook Graph API

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

Retrieve data about the user and his/her friends

Upload photos/videos, post status messages Data returned from Facebook in JSON format Requests to https://graph.facebook.com/...▪ me/feed, me/friends, me/photos, me/videos

Cool custom code!Demo #6

A note about code snippets

Code snippets in these slides are not complete Do not include proper error checking/handling Do not show proper impersonation of System

Account where necessary Please download the code – coming soon!

Access token

Returned in a claim from Facebook A new AccessToken is issued each login Our key to all of the data about the logged in user Required for all calls to the Facebook Graph API

Two hour lifetime by default To leverage this token across the site, I store

it in the SPWeb.AllProperties property bag web.AllProperties[“fbAccessToken_{loginname}”] AllProperties required for case sensitivity

Update display name

Change to Initial display name for the SPUser is

based on the specified IdentifierClaim Make this friendlier – we know their name!

if (SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser == null){ SPUser user = web.EnsureUser("i:" + claimsIdentity.Name); currentUser.Name = givenName; currentUser.Update();}

Claims-Based IdentityTechnologies

WS-Trust, WS-Federation, SAML Requesting/receiving tokens XML representation of claims

These emerging technologies have been around for awhile Their use in Claims-Based Identity represents a

new approach for handling identity in applications Great potential in corporate environments▪ Active Directory Federation Services, external LDAP, etc.

Great potential as we move to the cloud▪ Azure ACS: Facebook, Google, Windows Live ID, etc.

FBA in SharePoint 2010

Similar to FBA setup for MOSS, with some exceptions: Authentication provider does not need to be

mapped to a separate zone One additional Web.config to modify:▪ C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\

Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\SecurityToken

▪ Add entries for connection string, Membership provider, Role manager

▪ Same modifications for Central Admin and web app

Configuring trust

SharePoint maintains its own certificate store where separate trusts must be configured

http://dannyjessee.com/blog/index.php/2011/12/required-trust-relationships-for-the-facebook-c-sdk-in-sharepoint-2010/

Need to upload two certificates in Central Admin (Security > Manage Trust): DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA DigiCert High Assurance CA-3

Claims “Gotchas”

Claims “Gotchas”

General issues for all Claims implementations Search crawler requires NTLM in the zone it uses “People picker” is more of a Claims “expression

editor”▪ Custom code opportunity

User Profiles▪ LDAP or BCS connection to authentication store

Office client integration (2007 SP2+, 2010)▪ IE 8+: Trusted Sites

No document previews with FAST Search

Real-Life Testimonial

“After migrating to Claims in SharePoint 2010, most of our users were able to log in some of the time.”

—A less-than-thrilled system administrator

Claims “Gotchas”

Migration from MOSS to SharePoint 2010 Migrate FBA Users▪ $wa = get-SPWebApplication $WebAppName▪ $wa.MigrateUsers($true)

Portalsuperuser and Portalsuperreader properties need to be updated to reflect Claims-encoded format▪ $wa.Properties["portalsuperuseraccount"] = "i:0#.w|domain\

apppool"▪ $wa.Properties["portalsuperreaderaccount"] = "i:0#.w|

domain\apppool"▪ $wa.Update()

Must migrate all providers from MOSS to 2010▪ i.e., NTLM and FBA if both existed prior to migration

Claims Behaving Badly

“Funky” display of usernames i:0#.w|SHRPNT\Administrator i:0#.f|CustomMembershipProvider|

username i:0#.t|selfsts|test@contoso.com▪ i: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.

SPClaimsAuthMembershipProvider (Web.config)▪ windows, forms, trusted Identity Provider

Claims Behaving Badly

Set DisplayName property of SPUser $user = Get-SPUser -Web

http://abc.shrpnt.loc -Identity "i:0#.f|CustomMembershipProvider|username"

$user.DisplayName = "John Doe" $user.Update()

Can also be done via SharePoint object model

Claims Behaving Badly

Session expiration issues with SAML Claims Users can come back to the page hours

later without having to log in again SharePoint creates a FedAuth cookie

(written to disk) that is not a Session cookie by default▪ $sts = Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig▪ $sts.UseSessionCookies = $true▪ $sts.Update()

Claims Behaving Badly

Continuous redirection to/from login page This can happen when the TokenLifetime is

less than the LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow▪ Default LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow in

SharePoint 2010 STS is 10 minutes▪ Default Token Lifetime in Azure ACS is also 10

minutes▪ $sts = Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig▪ $sts.LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow =

(New-TimeSpan -minutes 1)▪ $sts.Update()

Claims Behaving Badly

Go to the login page, enter valid credentials, press the “Log In” button, and…get redirected back to the login page (once) Check the ULS logs!▪ Could be token expiration timeout▪ Could be something else

Claims Behaving Badly

SPSecurityTokenService.Issue() failed:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800703FA): Retrieving theCOM class factory for component with CLSID{BDEADF26-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} failed due to the following error: 800703FA. GPEdit: Computer Configuration >

Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles▪ Do not forcefully unload the users registry at user

logoff > Set to “Enabled”

Claims Recommendations

Claims Recommendations

Stick with Classic Mode Authentication if you are deploying SharePoint into a “simple” Active Directory environment Particularly if strict security controls are

in place that are beyond your control Especially if you are only migrating from

Windows authentication in MOSS Once you go to Claims, you can’t go

back!

Claims Recommendations

If you must use Claims for your Extranet,try to minimize the number of zones/host headers used Default zone should be most secure
