  • 1.  Two tokens on tfim-sso junction

    Posted Thu November 05, 2020 10:10 AM
    We have a junction setup now for inserting a saml token on a header using tfim-sso configuration.  We would like a second header with a JWT token inserted on same junction however does not appear it is possible to configure same junction twice.  Any suggestions to achieve this appreciated.

    Hello Caroline,

    I agree with your assessment that it is not possible to use the TFIM-SSO capability to include multiple tokens into different HTTP headers for a single junction.  I assume using different junctions is not possible.

    In the specific case of JWT and SAML, perhaps it's worth noting that in Verify Access v10 there is now built-in support in the Reverse Proxy to generate a JWT and include in an HTTP header to the backend (with caveat that complex claim mapping is not possible).  This is independent to the TFIM-SSO capability and so I expect it would be possible to have a JWT included using this new function while maintaining the existing TFIM-SSO function to add a SAML token.

    The only other approach I can think of would be to send one token in the SSO flow and then have the application call our STS with that token to obtain the other one.  I don't know if that's feasible in your architecture.

    Jon.
