ISVA - How to configure AAC "Username Password" Authentication mechanism to work with federated directory?

  • 1.  ISVA - How to configure AAC "Username Password" Authentication mechanism to work with federated directory?

    Posted Fri May 21, 2021 08:14 AM

    Hi Team,

    We have configured the Active Directory as a Federated registry with ISVA.

    Now, I want to enable the implicit flow so that the below API should work

    This API call works fine and returns the token when AAC "Username Password" Authentication Mechanism is configured with ISAM LDAP and not the Federated AD

    But the Same API doesn't return the token successfully when I provided Federated User's username and password and getting below error with 400 return code

    {

        "error_description""Invalid username/password. Authentication failed.",
        "error""mapping_error"
    }

    I tried configuring [bind-credentials] stanza with the bind-dn and bind-pwd but it did not resolve the issue.

    Also tried configuring the Federated AD details under properties of AAC "Username Password" Authentication Mechanism but still the same issue.

    I have two main questions here

    1. Is it possible to configure AAC "Username Password" Authentication Mechanism with the federated registry(AD in our case)?

    2. If Yes, then what all parameters from the properties should be configured among the below mentioned?

    LDAP Bind DN
    LDAP Bind Password
    LDAP Host Name
    LDAP Port
    Login Failures Persistent
    Management Domain
    Maximum Server Connections
    SSL Enabled
    SSL Trust Store
    STARTTLS Enabled
    Use Federated Directories Configuration
    User Search Filter

    With various configurations to AAC "Username Password" Authentication mechanism, I tried updated PreTokenGeneration mapping rule with below userLookupHelper. 

    var userLookupHelper = PluginUtils.isValidUsernamePassword(username, password);

    But I got an error as:

    {
        "error_description""FBTRBA329E The username password authentication mechanism configuration is invalid.",
        "error""mapping_error"
    }

    Can someone help me with this?

    Regards,

    Prashant Narkhede
