Just-in-Time User Inbound Provisioning¶

This page guides you through configuring Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning for users from external identity providers into MWARE IAM during federated authentication.

Prerequisites¶

You need to add and configure an identity provider on the Identity Server.

Enable JIT provisioning¶

To enable JIT provisioning for an IdP:

1. On MWARE IAM Management Console, go to Main > Identity > Identity Providers section.
2. Click List, select the identity provider you want to enable JIT provisioning, and click on the corresponding Edit link.

3. Expand the Just-In-Time Provisioning section and select the JIT provisioning options based on your requirement.

   

4. Select Always provision to User Store Domain, and select a required user store domain from the list of available user store domains.

   Tip

   The default user store domain you see is the PRIMARY user store provided with MWARE IAM.

   If you want to provision users to multiple user stores depending on the user name specified at the time of provisioning, select As in username from the dropdown.

   If you select this option and do not specify the user name appropriately, the relevant user is provisioned to the PRIMARY user store domain.
   For example,

   • If you specify the username as user, the user is provisioned to the domain.
   • If you specify the username as user1, the user is provisioned to the PRIMARY user store domain.

   Suppose you want to select a user store domain other than the default primary user store domain. In that case, you need to configure a userstore of your preference for it to appear in the list for you to select.

5. Select the provisioning options depending on how you want to prompt users for relevant credentials at the time of JIT provisioning. The provisioning options are as follows:

   • Prompt for username, password, and consent
   • Prompt for password and consent
   • Prompt for consent
   • Provision silently

   Note

   By default, Provision silently will be selected. You can change it as you wish.

6. Click Update to save your configurations.

Disable JIT Provisioning¶

To disable JIT provisioning for an IdP:

1. On MWARE IAM Management Console, go to Main > Identity > Identity Providers section.
2. Click List, select the identity provider you want to enable JIT provisioning, and click on the corresponding Edit link.
3. Expand the Just-In-Time Provisioning section and select the JIT provisioning options based on your requirement.
4. Select No Provisioning and click Update to disable JIT provisioning.

Enhanced Feature (Optional)¶

Add the following configuration to deployment.toml in the /conf directory.

[authentication.jit_provisioning]
enable_enhanced_feature = "true"

With the JIT provisioned enhanced feature, the following capabilities will be available.

• A Federated unique user id will be set as the username of the JIT provisioned user.
• Second-factor authenticators (Ex:- TOTP, Email OTP) will be able to configure for federated users when JIT provisioning is enabled
• When an IDP is deleted, the Identity Server will delete all provisioned users from that IDP.
• Editing JIT-provisioned user’s attributes will not be allowed.
• Ability to lock JIT provisioned user accounts based on social identity.

Customize JIT Provisioning User Interfaces¶

You can customize the default user interface that is displayed to prompt for credentials at the time of just-in-time provisioning.

To customize the user interfaces depending on your requirement, add the following configuration in the deployment.toml file.

[authentication.jit_provisioning]
username_provisioning_url= "/accountrecoveryendpoint/register.do"
password_provisioning_url= "/accountrecoveryendpoint/signup.do"

• Update username_provisioning_url if you have selected Prompt for username, password and consent as the provisioning option.

• Update password_provisioning_url if you have selected Prompt for password and consent or Prompt for consent as the provisioning option.
