  • Single Sign-On for APEX-Apps with Kerberos

    For APEX apps, you normally use a URL like <hostname>/apex/f?p=xxx after which by default you have to authenticate yourself using username/password credentials. However, most end users of APEX applications already have authenticated themselves by logging on to the Windows domain, so why authenticate a second time to use the first APEX application? Wouldn't it be nice if you could point your browser to an APEX app and you are instantly authenticated?

  • Single Sign-On for APEX Apps with Azure AD using SAMLv2

    Most APEX environments run inside the corporate network. In some cases, you would like to also give registered external users (like customers or partners) access over the internet to specific APEX apps running on the internal APEX instance. To prevent ending up building your own user/password management system including a registration process, most companies already utilize Azure AD, which is the cloud version of Active Directory. The question here is: how can we securely authenticate external users that are registered in Azure AD? There are various ways how you can achieve this (SAMLv2 or OAUTH2 being two of these). We will utilize the SAMLv2 standard as we only want to trust Azure AD as Identity Provider using a secure channel (SSL) and "automatically" get the user ID together with selected user attributes back as part of the HTTP header. This document will show you how to setup Single Sign-On using SAMLv2 against Azure AD.

  • Single Sign-On for APEX Apps using OAuth2

    A feature called "Social Sign-In" was introduced in APEX 18.1 which handles authentication based on the OAuth2 standard. Although the name suggests that it can only be used with Facebook & Co. as authentication provider, you can also use Azure Active Directory. This document will explain the process flow for authentication based on OAuth2 as well as the implementation steps to undertake to achieve this goal when using Azure AD as authentication provider.
