Providing an SLO URL ensures a user session is terminated at both ends, the BIG-IP and Azure AD, after the user signs out. įor the Logout URL enter the BIG-IP APM Single logout (SLO) endpoint pre-pended by the host header of the service being published. For apps that don’t support IDP initiated mode, specify the Sign-on URL for the BIG-IP SAML service. In this configuration alone the application would operate in an IDP initiated mode, where Azure AD issues the user with a SAML assertion before redirecting to the BIG-IP SAML service. For example, ĭo the same with the Reply URL text box, including the SAML endpoint path. Replace the pre-defined Identifier URL with the URL for your BIG-IP published service. On the Setup single sign-on with SAML menu, select the pen icon for Basic SAML Configuration to provide the following details: Skip the prompt to save the single sign-on settings by selecting No, I’ll save later. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML. With your new F5 application properties in view, go to Manage > Single sign-on The name should reflect that specific service. The user can see the name as an icon in the Azure and Office 365 application portals. Provide a name for the application, followed by Add/Create to have it added to your tenant. Search for F5 in the gallery and select F5 BIG-IP APM Azure AD integration. Go to Enterprise Applications and from the top ribbon select New application. Sign in to the Azure AD portal using an account with application admin rightsįrom the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service Setting up a SAML federation trust between the BIG-IP allows the Azure AD BIG-IP to hand off the pre-authentication and Conditional Access to Azure AD, before granting access to the published VPN service.
Screenshots are from BIG-IP v15, however, remain relatively similar from v13.1. Single sign-on (SSO) from Azure AD is then provided through claims-based authentication to the BIG-IP APM, providing a seamless VPN access experience.Īzure is constantly evolving so don’t be surprised if you find any nuances between the instructions in this guide and what you see in the Azure portal. In this scenario, the BIG-IP APM instance of the SSL-VPN service will be configured as a SAML Service Provider (SP) and Azure AD becomes the trusted SAML IDP, providing pre-authentication. For this reason, we encourage our customers to consider moving to a more Identity driven approach at managing access on a per application basis. This model is no longer effective in achieving a true Zero Trust posture, since corporate assets are no longer confined to the walls of an enterprise data center, but rather across multi-cloud environments with no fixed boundaries. Manage Identities and access from a single control plane - The Azure portalĭespite these great value adds, the classic VPN does however remain predicated on the notion of a network perimeter, where trusted is on the inside and untrusted the outside. Password-less authentication to the VPN service Improved Zero trust governance through Azure AD pre-authentication and authorization Integrating a BIG-IP SSL-VPN with Azure AD provides many key benefits, including:
