Super Gluu is Janssen's own push-notification two-factor authentication (2FA) mobile app built to work with the Janssen Server. Super Gluu uses public-key encryption as specified in the FIDO U2F authentication standard. Upon device enrollment, Super Gluu registers its public key against the Janssen's FIDO Server's super_gluu_registration_endpoint endpoint. Authentication takes place at super_gluu_authentication_endpoint where a challenge response ensures that the device has the corresponding private key.

Janssen's Super Gluu endpoint

The fido2 server serves the registration and authentication of Super Gluu credentials, the URI of which can be found at https://<my.jans.server>/.well-known/fido2-configuration. However, this feature has to be enabled first, else the endpoints super_gluu_registration_endpoint and super_gluu_authentication_endpoint will not show up by default.

Prerequisites:

A. Install the FIDO2 server:

Ensure that the Fido2 server is installed during the initial server setup.

B. Enable the Super Gluu endpoint:

  1. Use the TUI to enable "Super Gluu" feature sg diagram

C. Mobile device with Super Gluu installed

D. Publicly Discoverable DNS :

  • An Internet accessible (non-internal or localhost) Janssen Server with DNS pointing at the public Internet address of the server

  • If the Jannsen Server is using a self-signed certificate, Trust All must be enabled in Super Gluu (open the app, navigate to Menu > Trust all (SSL) and enable)

!!! Note The Janssen Server and Super Gluu can work in the same network, without a DNS server hostname and with a self-signed certificate. There is only one limitation: both components should belong to the same network. Instead of assigning a hostname during Janssen Server installation, an IP address can be specified. In the Super Gluu mobile app, enable Trust all (SSL).

E. Push Notification server:

User and Developer Guides

User and Developer Guides can be found on the Super Gluu docs site.

Interception script

The Super Gluu Interception script can be configured to work in 2 modes: A. Two step Flow (Default mode) B. One step Flow

A. Two step flow (Default mode):

Enrollment:

By default, users are put through a two-step, two-factor authentication process with username and password in the first step, and then push notification via Super Gluu in the second step.

Notes for administrator:

Configure /etc/certs/super_gluu_creds.json: For each Android and apple app, configure Access key / Secret key of oxNotify server

Enable Sign-in with Super-Gluu Authentication script

Using the OpenID Connect acr_values parameter, web and mobile clients can request any enabled authentication mechanism. To enable Super Gluu as an authentication method, follow the steps below:

  1. Obtain the json contents of super_gluu custom script by using a jans-cli command like get-config-scripts-by-type, get-config-scripts-by-inum etc.

e.g : /opt/jans/jans-cli/config-cli.py --operation-id get-config-scripts-by-type --url-suffix type:PERSON_AUTHENTICATION , /opt/jans/jans-cli/config-cli.py --operation-id get-config-scripts-by-inum --url-suffix inum:6122281b-b55d-4dd0-8115-b098eeeee2b7

  1. Update the custom script and change the enabled attribute to true Now Sign-in with Super-Gluu is an available authentication mechanism for your Janssen Server. This means that, using OpenID Connect acr_values, applications can now request Super-Gluu authentication for users.

!!! Note To make sure super_gluu has been enabled successfully, you can check your Janssen's Auth Server OpenID Connect configuration by navigating to the following URL: https:///.well-known/openid-configuration. Find "acr_values_supported": and you should see "super_gluu".

Make Sign-in with Super-Gluu Script as default authentication script:

Use this link as a reference.

Steps:

  1. Create a file say sg-auth-default.json with the following contents
{
  "defaultAcr": "super_gluu"
}

2.Update the default authentication method to super_gluu

/opt/jans/jans-cli/config-cli.py --operation-id put-acrs --data /tmp/sg-auth-default.json

Test the feature

To test, enter the complete URL for authorization in a browser or create a simple webpage with a link that simulates the user sign-in attempt. If the server is configured properly, the first page for the selected authentication method will be displayed to the user.

An example of a complete URL looks like this -

https://<your.jans.server>/jans-auth/authorize.htm?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://<your.jans.server>/admin&client_id=<replace_with_inum_client_id>&scope=openid+profile+email+user_name&state=faad2cdjfdddjfkdf&nonce=dajdffdfsdcfff

Customizations to Super Gluu Login Pages

The Gluu Server includes a default public-facing pages for Super Gluu for enrollment and authentication.

To customize the look and feel of the pages, follow the customization guide.

Self-service

To offer end-users a portal where they can manage their own account security preferences, including two-factor authentication credentials like Super Gluu, check out our new app, Gluu Casa.

Manual Device Management

image

A user's Super Gluu device(s) can be removed by a Janssen administrator by directly locating the user entry in LDAP. For example, let's say user abc loses their device and wants to enroll a new device to use Super Gluu.

  1. Find the DN of the user in LDAP

  2. Find the registation under ou=fido2_register for associated with the user

  3. Remove the jansId DN

Now the old device is gone and the user can enroll a new device

Device management using SCIM

See the SCIM documentation for a discussion on how to manage FIDO devices, including Super Gluu, using the SCIM protocol.
