Manage Organization Mapping for Federated Authentication

When you map organizations to your Identity Provider, Cloud Manager grants users who authenticate through the IdP membership in the selected organizations. You can give these users a default role in the mapped organizations. Organization mapping lets you configure a single IdP to grant users access to multiple Cloud Manager organizations.

You can apply the same IdP to multiple organizations. You can assign each organization a single IdP.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you must have already linked an IdP to Cloud Manager and mapped one or more domains to that IdP. For instructions on these procedures, see:

• Manage Identity Providers
• Manage Domain Mapping for Federated Authentication

Federation Management Access

You can manage federated authentication from the Federation Management Console. You can access the console as long as you are an Organization Owner in one or more organizations that are delegating federation settings to the instance.

Map an Organization to your Identity Provider

Note

MongoDB Cloud Manager creates an Organization’s IdP certificate is about to expire alert automatically when you map an organization to an IdP provider. If you remove the mapping, MongoDB Cloud Manager deletes all instances of this alert.

1

Open the Federation Management Console.

1. Log in to Cloud Manager.
2. Use the dropdown at the top-left of Cloud Manager to select the organization for which you want to manage federation settings.
3. Click Settings in the left navigation pane.
4. In Manage Federation Settings, click Visit Federation Management App.

2

Connect an organization to the Federation Application.

1. Click View Organizations.

   Cloud Manager displays all organizations where you are an Organization Owner.

   Organizations which are not already connected to the Federation Application have Connect button in the Actions column.

2. Click the desired organization’s Connect button.

3

Apply an Identity Provider to the organization.

From the Organizations screen in the management console:

1. Click the Name of the organization you want to map to an IdP.

2. On the Identity Provider screen, click Apply Identity Provider.

   Cloud Manager directs you to the Identity Providers screen which shows all IdPs you have linked to Cloud Manager.

3. For the IdP you want to apply to the organization, click Modify.

4. At the bottom of the Edit Identity Provider form, select the organizations to which this IdP applies.

5. Click Next.

6. Click Finish.

4

Connect an organization to the Federation Application.

1. Click Organizations in the left navigation.
2. In the list of Organizations, ensure that your desired organization(s) now have the expected Identity Provider.

Change an Organization’s Mapped Identity Provider

Reconfigure your IdP to change the organizations to which it’s mapped.

1

Unmap the current Identity Provider.

1. Click Organizations in the left navigation.
2. Click the Identity Provider of the organization whose IdP you wish to change.
3. Click Modify for the IdP which is currently mapped to the organization.
4. At the bottom of the Edit Identity Provider form, deselect the organization.
5. Click Next.
6. Click Finish.

2

Map the new Identity Provider.

1. Click Modify for the IdP you want to map to the organization.
2. At the bottom of the Edit Identity Provider form, select the organization.
3. Click Next.
4. Click Finish.

(Optional) Configure Advanced Options for Your Organization

The following optional settings provide even greater control over user management and authentication in your organization.

Assign a Default User Role for Your Organization

You can assign users who authenticate through the IdP a default role in a mapped organization. Configuring this option ensures that users who authenticate through your IdP have the same set of permissions. This setting is not required for organization mapping.

For instructions on assigning a default role, see Assign a Default User Role for an Organization.

Note

The selected role only applies to users who authenticate through the IdP if they do not already have a role in the organization.

Restrict Access to an Organization by Domain

You can restrict access to your organization to an approved list of domains. This allows you to set the domains from which organization users can login without needing to directly map those domains to your IdP.

For instructions on restricting access by domain, see Restrict Access to an Organization by Domain.

Disconnect an Organization from the Federation Application

When you disconnect an organization from the Federation Application, Cloud Manager no longer grants membership or a default organization role to users who authenticate through the IdP.

From the Federation Management Console:

1

Click View Organizations.

2

Open the Actions dropdown for the organization you want to disconnect.

3

Click Disconnect.

4

Click Confirm.
