Configure Azure

You have to configure a SSO application on Azure by following the instructions in Configuring single sign-on to applications that are not in the Azure Active Directory application gallery. You will have to take care of the following settings in order to configure Jenkins SAML Plugin properly:

  • Sign On URL: it should be the Jenkins base URL Manage, you have to check the value of Jenkins URL setting on Jenkins/Configure System/Jenkins Location/Jenkins URL Manage Jenkins/Configure System/Jenkins Location/Jenkins URL
  • Identifier: the identifier that you want to use as Entry ID for Jenkins SP (e.g. JenkinsSP).
  • Reply URL: The URL when the SAMLResponse will be sent, it should be like this one https://<JENKINS_URL>/securityRealm/finishLogin
  • Sign-Out URL: The URL that you want to use to log-out from your SSO, this will be appear in the IdP Metadata XML like this example
    <SingleLogoutService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect" Location="https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/saml2"/>)
  • SAML XML Metadata URL: the URL that return the IdP metadata XML, it should looks like https://login.microsoftonline.com/<TenantDomainName>/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml see Federation metadata for more details.
  • Binding Protocol: Azure exposed HTTP-Redirect and HTTP-POST you have to select the Binding protocol, SAML Plugin Latest version support HTTP-Redirect and HTTP-POST
    <SingleSignOnService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect" Location="https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/saml2"/>
    <SingleSignOnService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" Location="https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/saml2"/>

You should customize Attibutes to send to Jenkins Customizing claims issued in the SAML token for enterprise applications in Azure Active Directory, these are the recommended attributes to setup:

  • User Name: attribute will be load with the unique user ID (e.g. name=username value=user.userprincipalname).
  • Display Name: attribute will be load with the user name to display in the UI (e.g. name=displayname value=user.givenname).
  • Groups: attribute will be load with the groups assigned to the user (e.g. name=groups value=user.memberof).
  • Email: attribute will be load with the user email address (e.g. name=email value=user.mail).
