– No, really, you are

• Hire me by talking to Lisa
– She’ll be around here somewhere

SSO you say?
• Many different things to many different
people
• Could be (listed in order of complexity):
– Offload
– Synchronization
– Integration
• Could be more than one of the above

MWLUG 2017
Domino is different
• It has two passwords
– Because….well…..Domino
– Makes it twice as difficult
• One size doesn’t fit all
– You may combine the following concepts

MWLUG 2017
Why do it?
• Single password
• No password
• Get away from ID and password management
– You never *really* get away from the ID
• It’s what all the cool kids are doing

MWLUG 2017
Why do it?
• What are you trying to solve?
– Answer this and you know which of the following
solutions are for you

MWLUG 2017
Notes Shared Login (NSL)
• Remove Notes password from ID
• Well, mostly
– Except for the first logon to a new computer
account
– Policy based
– Requires Notes Single Logon Service to be
removed from clients
– Can be used with Notes Federated Logon (NFL)

MWLUG 2017
You will need a (working) ID Vault
• If you don’t have one
– WHY NOT???
• If you do, is it working?
• Several of the following solutions require it

MWLUG 2017
Types of SSO….
• Offload
– Pass it off
• Synchronization
– Move the data around
• Integration
– Link it altogether

MWLUG 2017
Offload
• Authenticate the password from elsewhere
– Usually Active Directory
– Uses Directory Assistance and LDAP referrals
– Only usable (like this) for the HTTP password
• So iNotes, web apps, Traveler, etc
• Will also be needed if you do SAML and SPNEGO

MWLUG 2017
Offload
• Pros
– Actually uses the AD password, not HTTP
password exists anymore*
• Cons
– Only web protocols
– You need to get the Domino LDAP DN into AD field
– Traveler can lock the account out on a regular
basis
• Think AD password change policy

MWLUG 2017
Synchronization
• Copy password from “A” to “B”
– “A” is usually AD, “B” is usually Domino
• Capture AD password change, send to Domino
– Can update ID Vault and/or HTTP password
• TDI is free entitlement for most of you
– And it can do this

MWLUG 2017
Synchronization
• Pros
– Fixes AD lockout issue with “offload”
– Notes ID and/or HTTP password thanks to ID Vault
• Cons
– Usually requires AD schema modification
– HTTP password changes need to replicate
– Doesn’t really get rid of Notes ID password
• Just makes it known to the user

MWLUG 2017
Integration
• Use a different system (usually AD) to verify
user ID and password
• Two options
– SPNEGO
• Reasonably simple
• Limited use
• HTTP only
– SAML/NFL
• As far from reasonably simple as you can get
• Notes client and/or HTTP

MWLUG 2017
SPNEGO
• Allows domain connected users using browser
apps to login transparently using IWA
• Web/Internet site based
– All or nothing
– Although with good firewall people……
• Two internet documents, one SPNEGO, one not
– Source IP, agent sniffing, etc

MWLUG 2017
SPNEGO
• Pros
– Simple(ish)
• Cons
– HTTP only
– Windows desktops only (no Mac)*
– Domino authentication server must be Windows
– Kind of half-assed implementation
• Will not fail back to user name and password
– Domino User DN is still needed in AD

MWLUG 2017
SAML/WFL/NFL
• Uses SAML to connect to ADFS or TAM
– Could use others but completely unsupported
• Most are (and all of mine have been) ADFS
• Can be used to get rid of Notes ID password
• Very flexible
– WFL for iNotes, web apps
– NFL for Notes clients
– Use either or both

MWLUG 2017
SAML/WFL/NFL
• Pros
– Standard, cross platform
• Client OS – All of them
• Domino server OS – All of them
– Use AD user name and password
– Flexible WFL options
• Inside the corporate network, transparent logon
• Outside, use forms based logon
– Go completely Notes ID password-less

MWLUG 2017
SAML/WFL/NFL
• Cons
• Is pretty complex
• Documentation is woeful
• Notes requires files be present in the user profile to
work
– Stub notes.ini with full CN user name
– Deploy.nsf for certificates
• Requires a custom ADFS SSL cert
– Means need to use non-commercial certificate
– Create ADFS server specifically for NFL as users may get SSL
certificate trust issues unless it is computer trusted roots
– Again, a bit half arsed

MWLUG 2017
SAML/WFL/NFL
• Cons (cont)
• Slow logging into Notes client
– All this security shenanigans take time
• But this can be fixed by also using NSL.
– First login uses NFL
– Subsequent logins switch to NSL
• Domino User DN is still needed in AD
• No ADFS 4.0 support
– So no Windows 2016 server support
– ADFS 3.0 support took 4 years

MWLUG 2017
What about Traveler?
• Verse client now supports Certificate
Authentication
– Note, *NOT* SSO, but at least password-less
• No native iOS support that I know of
– So iOS native still uses HTTP password
• Some MDM’s have their own mail clients to
address this

MWLUG 2017
Common Thread….
• “Domino DN still needed in AD”
– (or email address, just some unique ID equal in both
systems)
– Domino DN = “CN=Darren Duke,OU=blah,O=bob”
• It’s the LDAP version of your Domino name
– Use TDI to populate AD field with Domino DN
• Prereq, needs *existing* common ID between AD and
Domino
– Email address?
– Domino short name = sAMAccountName?
• Some orgs use AltSecurityIdentities, some email address
• Others use custom field
– If custom make sure to AD index that field!!!

MWLUG 2017
Notes client setup suggestions
• Prepopulate Notes client setup values
automatically
– https://blog.darrenduke.net/Darren/DDBZ.nsf/dx/
use-a-custom-notes.ini-file-and-prepopulate-user-
settings-on-notes-first-startup.htm
– Use the above either standalone, with NSL or with
NFL
