Re: UAA, SAML, and LDAP questions

The problem with SAML is that we never see the username. We only receive
the username in form of an email address from the SAML IDP. This would not
correspond to the username you would log in to LDAP with.

The use case you describe would indicate we want two different
authentication sources represent the same authentication source.
I believe the correct solution here is to implement the SAML ECP profile.
At that point you'd have an option to go LDAP or SAML rather than trying to
mix both.

Possibly, though I think regular user authentication would still be a
concern for our users since security forces a rather short TTL for our
access tokens. I'll have to take a look and try a few things. We may
decide to just use LDAP and forget about the SSO integration for now.

Hi Aaron,
You could potentially use the access token (similar to a personal access
token used for GitHub API ) to achieve the CLI automation. The access token
can either be retrieved via an authentication to the CLI itself or via UAAC.
Regular users would still continue to use the -sso option.

That’s the main concern we have as well – we currently need LDAP for
the CLI since SAML doesn’t work in that case, but we’d like SAML for
web-based interactions (SSO in a portal, etc.). But at present it seems
like that’s not possible without the user having to deal with effectively
two separate accounts.

Well, that's a bummer. Is there any way around that? Our SAML is
backed by the same LDAP so they are the same user. We can provide a unique
ID to correlate SAML with LDAP users.

yes, it would result in two different shadow accounts, differentiated
by the value of the user's origin field

Would the same user logging in via SAML and LDAP result in two different
UAA
user objects with different sources, so that the user would have two
different sets of orgs/spaces/apps?
