Using Single Sign-On

On the Kore.ai Single Sign-On page, in the Security & Control module of the Bots Admin Console, you can configure Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for your Kore.ai managed users using the following:

  • OpenID Connect
  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
  • WS-Federation sign-on protocol.

SSO enables easy access to the Kore.ai application using your existing identity provider. With SSO, your users can log on once, for example, to your company account, and when accessing their Kore.ai application, the same login credentials can be used automatically by the system.

For example, using the WS-Federation sign-on protocol, you can enable a user to sign on to the Kore.ai application using Microsoft® Active Directory® server credentials.

The following illustration shows the Single Sign-On page in the Bots Admin Console Security & Control module.

Enable or Disable SSO

Depending on the security required for your company, you can enable or disable Single Sign-On (SSO) for users accessing the Kore.ai application.

When you disable SSO or when the SSO authentication validity period expires, users must create and log on using their credentials. If no account specific password policies have been defined, then default Kore.ai password policies are automatically enabled for the users.

To enable Single Sign-On

  • In the Security & Control module, on the Single Sign On page, click Enable SSO.Enable SSO

To disable Single Sign-On

  • In the Security & Control module, on the Single Sign On page, click Disable SSO, and then configure user password policies.Disable SSO

OpenID Connect

Complete the steps in the following procedure to configure SSO using Open ID Connect protocol in the Security & Control module of the Bots Admin Console. Kore.ai also supports WS-Federation and SAML Connect protocols.

  1. In the Security & Control module on the Single Sign On page in the Bots Admin Console, click Enable SSO.
  2. In the Select suitable Sign-On Protocol section, select OpenID Connect.
  3. In the Configure SSO for OpenID Connect section, select an identity provider, for example, Sign in with Google.
  4. Click Save.
  5. The Identity Provider information successfully updated message is displayed at the top of the page.

WS-Federation

Complete the steps in the following procedure to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) using the WS-Federation protocol in the Security & Control module of the Bots Admin Console.

  1. In the Security & Control module on the Single Sign On page in the Bots Admin Console, click Enable SSO.
  2. In the Select suitable Sign-On Protocol section, select WS-Federation.
  3. In the Configure SSO for WS-Federation section, select an identity provider, and then define the settings for:
    • Windows Azure®
      • Azure AD Sign-On End Point URL – The URL that Kore.ai sends sign on and sign off requests using Azure. The response for the authentication is sent to the Reply URL defined in your Azure Active Directory configuration settings.
      • Azure AD Federation Metadata Document – The URL for the federation metadata document used for authentication with Azure Active Directory.
    • Other – Generic WS-Federation identity provider configuration, other than Azure
      • AD Sign-On End Point URL – The URL that Kore.ai sends sign on and sign off requests using your WS-Federation identity provider.
      • AD Federation Metadata Document URL – The URL for the WS-Federation metadata document used for authentication with Active Directory.

  4. In the administrative console for your Single Sign-On provider, you will also need to define the URLs that are used to exchange data between Kore.ai and your SSO provider. While the URL names may vary by SSO provider, you will need to define these URLs:

    • SAML 2.0
      • LDAP Attribute: nameId
      • Claim Attribute: uri
    • SAML 1.1
      • LDAP Attribute: nameId
      • Claim Attribute: emailAddress
    • Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL or Callback URL as https://idp.kore.ai/authorize/callback.
    • In addition to authentication values, you must pass the email address of the user as an LDAP attribute from Active Directory when using ADFS. For more information, see Attributes for ADFS.
    • Click Save.

The Identity Provider information successfully updated message is displayed at the top of the page.

SAML

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a standard protocol for web browser Single Sign-On (SSO) using secure tokens. SAML completely eliminates all passwords and instead uses standard cryptography and digital signatures to pass a secure sign-in token from an identity provider to a SaaS application.

SAML provides a solution to allow your identity provider and service providers to exist separately from each other. When a user logs into a SAML-enabled application, the service provider requests authorization from the appropriate identity provider. The identity provider authenticates the user’s credentials and then returns the authorization for the user to the service provider, and the user is now able to use the application.

How SAML works

SAML SSO works by transferring the user’s identity from one place (the identity provider) to another (the service provider). This is done through an exchange of digitally signed XML documents.

Consider the following scenario: A user is logged into a system that acts as an identity provider. The user wants to log in to a remote application, such as a support or accounting application (the service provider). The following happens:

  1. The user accesses the remote application using a link on an intranet, a bookmark, or similar and the application loads.
  2. The application identifies the user’s origin (by application subdomain, user IP address, or similar) and redirects the user back to the identity provider, asking for authentication. This is the authentication request.
  3. The user either has an existing active browser session with the identity provider or establishes one by logging into the identity provider.
  4. The identity provider builds the authentication response in the form of an XML-document containing the user’s username or email address, signs it using an X.509 certificate, and posts this information to the service provider.
  5. The service provider, which already knows the identity provider and has a certificate fingerprint, retrieves the authentication response and validates it using the certificate fingerprint.
  6. The identity of the user is established and the user is provided with app access.

Kore.ai Implementation

There are two ways SAML can be used within Kore.ai Bots Platform:

  • For developer authentication to access the Bot Builder,
  • For user authentication to access the Bot.

Use case 1: Bot builder authentication.

Enterprises can set up access to the Bot builder tool using the enterprise SSO. Bot developers and admins can log into bot builder using SSO done by the enterprise identity provider.

SSO flow from Kore.ai Bots platform: The following is the flow within the Kore.ai Bots platform once SSO is configured using SAML:

  1. The client makes a call to Kore app server (using the login URL) with user details to get identity provider info (SAML).
  2. Kore app server initiates a handshake request with the Kore idproxy server.
  3. Kore idproxy server initiates a request to the identity provider (SAML) with user details.
  4. On successful authentication, the identity provider (SAML) returns an assertion response to the Kore idproxy server.
  5. Upon verifying the response from the identity provider, Kore idproxy server initiates a request to the Kore app server.
  6. On successful authentication of the token from Kore idproxy server, Kore app server grants access to the user.

Post v7.2 release, Kore.ai supports the IDP initiated flow, wherein the platform gets the postback directly with SAML response and is able to validate the assertion and register/identify the user. The configuration for these modes – SP-based and IDP-based flow is different and is highlighted in the configuration steps below.

Refer below to configure SSO using SAML

Use case 2: End-user authentication

In this scenario, the bot chat interface is embedded on the customer portal or Mobile app that requires user authentication via SSO.  
The Bot access is automatically limited to authenticated users.  If the task requires API invocation that requires SSO based authentication the developer can follow the below steps

  • On the client, developer needs to retrieve SSO token of the logged in user and pass it to the bot using the secureCustomPayload parameter in the Bot SDK API.
  • In the dialog task, Bot developer can write custom logic to read this token and add it as API headers for secure API calls made using service node or webhook node.

The token information on the client varies depending upon the SSO provider and the payload, accordingly the developer would need to write custom logic.

Configuring SSO using SAML

Complete the following steps to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol in the Kore.ai Bots Admin Console. Kore.ai also supports WS-Federation and OpenID Connect protocols. For more information, see Using Single Sign-On.

  1. In the Security & Control module on the Single Sign On page in the Bots Admin Console, click Enable SSO.
  2. In the Select a suitable Sign-On Protocol section, select SAML.
  3. In the Configure SSO for SAML section, select an identity provider, and then define the settings for one of:
    • Okta –
      • Okta Single Sign-On URL – The SSO URL for Okta this is to enable Service Provider initiated SAML flow.
      • Identity Provider Issuer – The entity that provides the user identities including the ability to authenticate a user.
      • Certificate – The public certificate stored by the service provider from the identity provider used to validate a user signature. You can add multiple (max of 2) certificates, delete already added invalid certificates, platform will use the latest certificate for authorization, in case it is invalid then the older certificate would be used.
      • ACS URL for SP Initiated SAML Flow – This is the redirect URL for Service Provided initiated SAML flow.
      • ACS URL for IDP Initiated SAML Flow – This is the account-specific URL for Identity Provided initiated SAML flow.

All existing assignments will be removed. Only the new group or role assignments as available in the SAML response will be assigned
          • Inclusion Only – Every time the user signs in, the platform will only assign the new group or roles available in the SAML response. All existing assignments will be retained. New assignments will be added as available in the SAML responses
        • define one or more mapping pairs. Each pair includes
          • SAML Attribute Name – Name of the SAML attribute as available in the SAML response
          • SAML Attribute Value – Value associated with the SAML attribute

The following data is an example of attribute data passed to Kore.ai in the callback URL.

<Attribute Name="FirstName" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri" FriendlyName="First Name">
<AttributeValue>Michael</AttributeValue>
</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="LastName" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri" FriendlyName="Last Name">
<AttributeValue>Mehra</AttributeValue>
</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="DisplayName" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri" FriendlyName="Display Name">

Mapping Attributes in ADFS

ADFS is a service provided by Microsoft as a standard role for Windows Server that provides a web login using existing Active Directory credentials. When using SAML or WS-Federation protocols to log on with ADFS, you can pass other values in addition to the authentication values.

The attribute values are defined as Claim Rules in the Relying Party Trust dialog in the SQL Server admin console. To edit the Claim Rules, select the Relying Party Trusts folder in ADFS Management, and then click Edit Claim Rules from the Actions sidebar. To add a new rule, click Add Rule, and then select the Send LDAP Attributes template. Enter the following mapping values:

  • SAML 2.0
    • LDAP Attribute: nameId
    • Claim Attribute: uri
  • SAML 1.1
    • LDAP Attribute: nameId
    • Claim Attribute: emailAddress

Logging On Using Your Admin Password Instead of SSO

As an Bots Admin, you can enable Single Sign-On (SSO) using a third-party security system, for example, Google. If for some reason, your SSO security system fails, or you forget your SSO log on credentials for your third-party security system, you can still log on to the Kore.ai Bots Admin Console and bypass SSO.

A Bots Admin with a custom admin role can only bypass SSO and use their admin password if custom privileges are enabled for at least one module. To log on to the Kore.ai Directory Agent, the custom admin must have privileges enabled for Enrollment – Directory Sync.

Before you can enable SSO, the Bots Admin must have logged on the Bots Admin Console using the log on credentials provided when signing up. After the Bots Admin configures and enables SSO, you can still access the Bots Admin Console directly at the following URL:

https://bots.kore.ai/admin

The following log on page is displayed and using your Bots Admin password credentials, you can log on to the Bots Admin Console and bypass SSO, if enabled.
Using Your Password to Log On to the Bots Admin Console without SSO
If you cannot remember your Bots Admin password, enter your email ID, and then click the Forgot your password? link shown in the previous image. An email is sent to your Kore.ai email account with instructions on how to reset your Bots Admin password.

Logging Off

When you are finished with your session with the Bots Admin Console, you should log off the console and close your session to keep your bots account secure. To log off, click on your user name, and then click Logout as shown in the following illustration.
Logging out of the Bots Admin Console
If your Bots Admin Console session is idle for more than 15 minutes, your session is automatically terminated, and the next action in the session window will open the Kore.ai web client instead. To start a new session, click the Bots Admin Console entadminsettingsicon icon and log on.
