Onboard and deploy Conditional Access App Control for any web app using Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) as the identity provider (IdP) (Microsoft)

You can configure session controls in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to work with any web app and any third-party IdP. This article describes how to route app sessions from AD FS 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.

Prerequisites

• Your organization must have the following licenses to use Conditional Access App Control:
  • A pre-configured AD FS environment
  • Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
• An existing AD FS single sign-on configuration for the app using the SAML 2.0 authentication protocol

To configure session controls for your app using AD FS as the IdP

Use the following steps to route your web app sessions from AD FS to Defender for Cloud Apps. For Azure AD configuration steps, see Configure integration with Azure AD.

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 new AD FS Relying Party Trust and App Single Sign-On configuration

Step 4: Configure Defender for Cloud Apps with the AD FS app’s information

Step 5: Complete the configuration of the AD FS Relying Party Trust

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, click on the name of your existing AD FS configuration.

   

3. On the SAML Single Sign-On Setting page, make a note of the Salesforce Login URL. You’ll need this later when configuring Defender for Cloud Apps.

    Note

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

   

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

1. In Defender for Cloud Apps, browse to Investigate > Connected apps > Conditional Access App Control apps.
2. Click the plus sign, and in the pop-up, select the app you want to deploy, and then click Start Wizard.
3. 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 click Next.

    Note

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

   

Step 3: Create a new AD FS Relying Party Trust and App Single Sign-On configuration

1. In the AD FS Management console, under Relying Party Trusts, view the properties of your existing relying party trust for your app, and make note of the settings.
2. Under Actions, click Add Relying Party Trust. Apart from the Identifier value that must be a unique name, configure the new trust using the settings you noted earlier. You’ll need this trust later when configuring Defender for Cloud Apps.
3. Open the federation metadata file and make a note of the AD FS SingleSignOnService Location. You’ll need this later.

    Note

   You can use the following endpoint to access your federation metadata file: https://<Your_Domain>/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml

   

4. Download the identity provider’s Signing Certificate. You’ll need this later.
   1. Under Services > Certificates, right-click on the AD FS signing certificate, and then select View Certificate.

      

   2. On the certificate’s details tab, click Copy to File and follow the steps in the Certificate Export Wizard to export your certificate as a Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) file.

      

5. Back in Salesforce, on the existing AD FS single sign-on settings page, make a note of all the settings.
6. Create a new SAML single sign-on configuration. Apart from the Entity ID value that must match the relying party trust Identifier, configure the single sign-on using the settings you noted earlier. You’ll need this later when configuring Defender for Cloud Apps.

Step 4: Configure Defender for Cloud Apps with the AD FS app’s information

1. Back in the Defender for Cloud Apps IDENTITY PROVIDER page, click Next to proceed.
2. On the next page, select Fill in data manually, do the following, and then click Next.
   • For the Single sign-on 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.

   

3. On the next page, make a note of the following information, and then click Next. You’ll need the information later.
   • Defender for Cloud Apps single sign-on URL
   • Defender for Cloud Apps attributes and values

    Note

   If you see an option to upload the Defender for Cloud Apps SAML certificate for the identity provider, click on the link to download the certificate file. You’ll need this later.

   

Step 5: Complete the configuration of the AD FS Relying Party Trust

1. Back in the AD FS Management console, right-click on the relying party trust you created earlier, and then select Edit Claim Issuance Policy.

   

2. In the Edit Claim Issuance Policy dialog box, under Issuance Transform Rules, use the provided information in the following table to complete the steps to create custom rules.

   TABLE 1

   Claim rule name	Custom rule
   McasSigningCert	=> issue(type="McasSigningCert", value="<value>"); where <value> is the McasSigningCert value from the Defender for Cloud Apps wizard you noted earlier
   McasAppId	=> issue(type="McasAppId", value="<value>"); is the McasAppId value from the Defender for Cloud Apps wizard you noted earlier

   1. Click Add Rule, under Claim rule template select Send Claims Using a Custom Rule, and then click Next.
   2. On the Configure Rule page, enter the respective Claim rule name and Custom rule provided.

    Note

   These rules are in addition to any claim rules or attributes required by the app you are configuring.

3. Back on the Relying Party Trust page, right-click on the relying party trust you created earlier, and then select Properties.
4. On the Endpoints tab, select SAML Assertion Consumer Endpoint, click Edit and replace the Trusted URL with the Defender for Cloud Apps single sign-on URL you noted earlier, and then click OK.

   

5. If you downloaded a Defender for Cloud Apps SAML certificate for the identity provider, On the Signature tab, click Add and upload the certificate file, and then click OK.

   

6. Save your settings.
