Now we’ll look at configuring SAML integration between VMware Identity Manager and Salesforce for Workspace ONE.

Definition:  Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). It is an open standard which enables SSO for many different services and platforms. Authenticating with SAML allows a user to log in once per session.

Here are the defining components of SAML:

• Service provider (i.e. an application.)
• Identity provider (who is authenticated, and what authentication methods are used.)
• End user who is accessing over SAML.

 

1. User starts the SAML Application
2. Service Provider (SP) sends a request to the Identity Provider (IdP) for authentication
3. If the user is not authenticated, the IdP requests authentication from the user. (I.e. username and password)
4. The IdP then sends response to the SP with a token for that user.

AirWatch, it’s here to stay.

So let’s talk about AirWatch, Office 365 and Powershell.

Objective: To enable integration between Powershell and Office 365 to facilitate; AirWatch Mobile Email Management (MEM).

 

“Mobile Email Management (MEM) functionality in AirWatch delivers comprehensive security for your corporate email infrastructure by allowing only compliant users and devices to access email.”

Now to getting this up and running

The steps we will be taking are

• Integrate PowerShell with AirWatch
• Setting up a PowerShell Admin User
• Enable Powershell Integration in AirWatch
• Configure Exchange to Block or Quarantine Devices
• Email Management
• Cmdlets Executed by AirWatch

First off ensure you have this in place:

• The organization group in AirWatch that you are configuring VMware Identity Manager is organization type: Customer.
• REST API admin key for communication with VMware Identtiy Manager service and a REST enrolled user API key for AirWatch Cloud Connector password authentication are made at the same organization group where VMware Identity Manager is configured.
• API Admin account settings and the admin auth certificate from AirWatch added to the AirWatch settings in the VMware Identity Manager admin console.
• Active Directory user accounts set up at the asme organization group where  VMware Identity Manager is configured.
• If end users are placed into a child organization group from where VMware Identity Manager is configured after registration and enrollment, User Group mapping in the AirWatch enrollment configuration must be used to filter users and their respective devices to the appropriate organization group.

You can find these in your AirWatch Admin console:

• REST admin API key for communication: System -> Advanced -> API -> REST API
• API Admin account for VMware Identity Manager and the admin auth certificate that is exported form AirWatch and added to the AirWatch settings in VMware Identity Manager.
• REST enrolled user API key used for AirWatch Cloud Connector password authentication.
