Configuring connection between KUMA and Active Directory Federation Services

To configure domain authentication in KUMA and ensure that users can log in to KUMA using their accounts without specifying a user name and password, first create a connection group and configure the rules in ADFS or make sure that the necessary connection groups and rules already exist.

After configuration, the Sign in via ADFS button appears on the KUMA login page.

The Sign in via ADFS button is hidden on the KUMA login page in the following conditions:

• The FreeIPA option is selected in the Authorization type drop-down list.
• The AD/ADFS option is selected in the Authorization type drop-down list and the settings for ADFS are not specified or the Disabled check box is selected for ADFS settings.

You can connect only to one ADFS domain. To do so, you must configure a connection to the domain controller.

To configure a connection to an ADFS domain controller:

1. In the application web interface, select Settings → Domain authorization.
2. In the Authorization type drop-down list, select AD/ADFS.
3. In the Active Directory Federation Services settings block, in the Client ID field, enter the KUMA ID from the Client ID field in the ADFS.
4. In the Relying party identifier field, enter the KUMA ID from the Relying party identifiers field in the ADFS.
5. Enter the Connect Metadata URI from the Connect Metadata URI field. This parameter consists of the host where the ADFS resides (https://adfs.example.com), and the endpoint setting (/adfs/.well-known/openid-configuration).

   For example, https://adfs.example.com/adfs/.well-known/openid-configuration).

6. Enter the ADFS redirect URL from the Redirect URL field in the ADFS. The value of the Redirect URL field in the ADFS is defined when the Application group is configured. In the ADFS, you must indicate the KUMA FQDN and the </sso-callback> substring. In KUMA, the URL must be indicated without the substring, for example: https://kuma-example:7220/
7. If you want to configure domain authentication for a user with the KUMA general administrator role, use the General administrators group field to specify the DistinguishedName of the Active Directory Federation Services group containing the user. Additional roles for the General administrator are automatically activated in KUMA, therefore, you do not need to add them separately.

   In the case when multiple groups are specified for a user in the same tenant, the role with the highest-level rights is used, with additional rights, if additional roles are assigned.

   Filter input example: CN=KUMA team,OU=Groups,OU=Clients,DC=test,DC=domain.

8. Click the Save button.

A connection with the Active Directory Federation Services domain controller is now configured.

For domain authentication, add the groups for the KUMA user roles.

You can specify the groups only for the roles that require the configuration of domain authentication. You can leave the rest of the fields empty.

To add groups of user roles:

1. In the application web interface, select Settings → Domain authorization.
2. Under Administration groups, click Add role groups.
3. In the Tenant drop-down list, select the tenant of the users for whom you want to configure domain authentication.
4. In the Selected roles drop-down list, specify the roles for the user. You can select multiple roles. The following values are available:
   • Tenant administrator
   • Tier 2 analyst
   • Tier 1 analyst
   • Junior analyst

   After you select the roles, a group filter field is displayed for each role. In the fields for each role, specify the DistinguishedName of the domain group. The users of this domain group must have the capability to perform authentication with their domain accounts. Group input example: CN=KUMA team,OU=Groups,OU=Clients,DC=test,DC=domain.

   You can define a separate set of role filters for each tenant.

   If no filter is specified for a role, this means that conditions for creating an account through domain authentication are not specified for that role. Authentication with that role is impossible.

   After the first authentication under a domain account, domain user cards are created for users in the Settings → Users section. For a domain user, the ability to change the main role (General administrator, Tenant administrator, Tier 2 analyst, Tier 1 analyst, Junior analyst) is blocked in the user card, while additional roles can be added or removed (Access to CII, Interaction with NCIRCC, Access to shared resources), including management of additional role assignment to tenants. Roles assigned in the Domain authorization section and roles assigned in the user card supplement each other. For the General administrator, additional roles in KUMA are automatically activated, therefore you do not need to add them separately. If the General administrator role was assigned to a domain user, and the General administrator role was subsequently revoked, additional roles must be reassigned in the user card in the Settings → Users section.

   You can specify only one domain group for each role. If you want to specify multiple groups, you must repeat steps 2 to 4 for each group while specifying the same tenant.

5. If necessary, repeat steps 2–4 for each tenant for which you want to configure domain authentication with the following roles: Junior analyst, Tier 1 analyst, Tier 2 analyst, or Tenant administrator.
6. Click the Save button.

The groups of user roles will be added. The defined settings will be applied the next time the user logs in to the KUMA web interface.

After the first authentication of the user, information about this user is displayed under Settings → Users. The Login and Password fields received from the domain cannot be edited. The user role will also be unavailable for editing. To edit a role, you will have to change the user role groups. Changes to a role are applied after the next authentication of the user. The user continues working under the current role until the current session expires.

If the user name or email address is changed in the domain account properties, these changes must be manually made in the KUMA account.
