We generally recommend to set up SAML to allow tenant analysts to login, and set up Auto-Login for end-users to access SSQ.

SAML Login

Can be used to give tenants access to the Analyst portal or for end-users to the SSQ.

Auto-Login

Can be used to give end-users access to the SSQ. Does not require any integration.

Password File Login

Create local static users for the tenants. Supports optional TOTP onboarding, but is still generally not recommended compared to SAML or LDAP.

LDAP Login

Can be used to give tenants access to the Analyst portal or for end-users to the SSQ.

SAML Login

  • List SAML backend name under enabledAuthBackends
  • Add additional config block to saml2AuthBackends
  • Enter the App Federation Metadata Url you copied behind the metadataUrl key.
  • Map the Entra ID roles to xorlab roles
auth.yml
  • Make sure the tenant attribute refers to the name defined in guarded_tenants.yml, e.g. "'tenant_A'" and that the SAML backend name matches the last part of the identifier and replyURL.
  • Make sure to assign tenant specific user roles in the roleMapping if you want to restrict this user to a specific tenant environment. For more info on the scope of roles, please refer to List of Built-in Roles
After updating auth/auth/auth.yml, click Publish. The authentication configuration becomes active within about one minute. You can test the login with the link https://xyz.activeguard.cloud/?_agAuthBackend=nameSAML. Replace xyz with your customer ID and nameSAML with the SAML backend name.

Auto-Login

The Auto-Login authentication method is compatible with multi-tenancy environments and can be enabled separately for each tenant.
  1. Open /shared/guarded_tenants.yml in the Expert Editor.
  2. Add the following configuration to each tenant:
    • Include the autoLoginLink block for each tenant.
    • expirationDays defines the validity period of the authentication link.
    • The default of expirationDays is 7 days.
    • To make links permanent, set expirationDays to -1.
    /shared/guarded_tenants.yml
  3. Click Publish. The tenant configuration becomes active within about one minute.

Password File Login

Using a password file for authentication is generally not recommended. If you use it, prefer enabling TOTP onboarding for privileged users.
/auth/auth/passwordFile.yml
After updating auth/auth/passwordFile.yml, click Publish. The users become available within about one minute.

LDAP Login

/auth/auth/auth.yml
After updating auth/auth/auth.yml, click Publish. The LDAP authentication configuration becomes active within about one minute.
