vIDM (Omnissa Identity Manager) Integration Toolkit is a simple Java SDK (software development kit) for web developers who want to integrate vIDM with their web services, with either SAML or OAuth protocol.
VIDM provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) compliant applications, but it is not a small task for web developers to make their applications SAML compliant. Many developers prefer OAuth other than SAML.
This toolkit can save developers' effort by providing some easy to use functions, supporting both SAML and OAtuh. With this toolkit, a web developer can implement SSO integration with vIDM, even if he has no knowledge about SAML/OAuth. This toolkit is platform independent, since it is written in Java.
vIDM can play two different roles: identity provider (IDP) or service provider (SP).
Your web application can delegate authentication to vIDM. When user accesses your web application without been authenticated, he will be redirected to vIDM first. VIDM will tell your web application the user's ID if the user has been authenticated.
You can choose either OAuth or SAML to use vIDM as IDP.
Please read Sample_WebApp for SAML, and read Sample_AppOAuth for OAuth.
vIDM can delegate authentication to your web application. In this case, your web application is IDP, vIDM is SP. Once a user has been authenticated by your web application, he can access vIDM without been authenticated again.
You can choose either OAuth or SAML to use vIDM as SP.
Please read Sample_AuthServer for SAML, and read Sample_ServerOAuth for OAuth.
We provide the following four samples, as a quick guide for developers to use this toolkit.
Sample_AuthServer is a demo of using vIDM as SP with SAML. You can start your web application as an IDP, config your vIDM, and authenticate users through your web application by yourself.
Sample_WebApp is a demo of using vIDM as IDP with SAML. You can start your web application as SP, and authenticate users through vIDM.
Sample_ServerOAuth is also a demo of using vIDM as SP, but with OAuth. In this sample, vIDM delegates authentication to your web application with SAML, but your web application communicates with some OAuth server with OAuth. In this way, users can login vIDM through any OAuth server, like Google, Facebook, WeChat, Github......
Sample_AppOAuth is also a demo of using vIDM as IDP, but with OAuth. In this sample, your web application can authenticate users through vIDM with OAuth protocol.
- A valid vIDM administrator account.
- JDK 1.6+, Maven.
This is a maven project, just install the toolkit on the project base directory:
mvn clean install # Reinstall the project
Then, you may enter the sample directory, and start the sample:
cd Sample_AuthServer/ # Enter the sample directory you want to run
mvn compile exec:java # Start the sample
There will be some configuration, just check ReadMe.md in each sample directory for more details.
