Presentation

OpenCTI is an open source platform allowing organizations to manage their cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables.

OpenCTI allows SSO via the SAML or OIDC protocols, this page explains how to setup the SAML protocol.

Configuring OpenCTI

Prerequisites

First, generate a key/certificate pair for OpenCTI

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout octi-saml-key.pem -out octi-saml-cert.pem -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes

Then, download the LemonLDAP::NG SAML metadata at https://auth.example.com/saml/metadata/idp

In this certificate, extract the ds:X509Certificate element inside the KeyDescriptor use="signing" element, and remove all spaces, you will get a long Base64 string that looks like

# On a single line, with no spaces
MIIFazCCA1OgAwIBAgIUDuUn+nT550rK0Qsej28PlQpZoFkwDQYJKoZIhvcN....

Do the same with octi-saml-key.pem in order to get a long Base64 string representing the OpenCTI signing key.

Regular installation

In your OpenCTI configuration

"saml": {
"identifier": "saml",
"strategy": "SamlStrategy",
"config": {
    "issuer": "opencti",
    "entry_point": "https://auth.example.com/saml/singleSignOn",
    "saml_callback_url": "https://opencti.example.com/auth/saml/callback",
    "private_key": "MIIEvgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKgwg...",
    "cert": "MIICmzCCAYMCBgF2Qt3X1zANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADARMQ8w...",
    "roles_management": {
      "role_attributes": ["groups"],
      "roles_mapping": ["my_lemonldap_group:Administrator"]
    }
}
  • private_key must contain the concatenated content of octi-saml-key.pem

  • cert must contain the concatenated content of the LemonLDAP::NG signing certificate, from SAML metadata

  • The roles_management element is only useful if you want to automatically affect roles to your LemonLDAP::NG users depending on their groups.

Docker

In a docker setup, add the following environment variables

- PROVIDERS__SAML__STRATEGY=SamlStrategy
- "PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__LABEL=Login with SAML"
- PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__ISSUER=opencti
- PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__ENTRY_POINT=https://auth.example.com/saml/singleSignOn
- PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__SAML_CALLBACK_URL=https://opencti.example.com/auth/saml/callback
- PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__CERT=MIICmzCCAYMCBgF2Qt3X1zANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADARMQ8w...
- PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__PRIVATE_KEY=MIIEvgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKgwg...
- "PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__ROLES_MANAGEMENT__ROLE_ATTRIBUTES=[\"groups\"]"
- "PROVIDERS__SAML__CONFIG__ROLES_MANAGEMENT__ROLES_MAPPING=[\"my_lemonldap_group:Administrator\"]"
  • PRIVATE_KEY must contain the concatenated content of octi-saml-key.pem

  • CERT must contain the concatenated content of the LemonLDAP::NG signing certificate, from SAML metadata

  • The ROLES_MANAGEMENT variables are only useful if you want to automatically affect roles to your LemonLDAP::NG users depending on their groups.

Configuring LemonLDAP

Generating OpenCTI metadata

Edit the following template to create the metadata for OpenCTI

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<EntityDescriptor
 entityID="opencti"
 xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata">
 <SPSSODescriptor
   AuthnRequestsSigned="true"
   WantAssertionsSigned="true"
   protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">
   <KeyDescriptor use="signing"><ds:KeyInfo xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"><ds:X509Data><ds:X509Certificate>
   ###paste the content of octi-saml-cert.pem here, without the BEGIN and END line###
   </ds:X509Certificate></ds:X509Data></ds:KeyInfo></KeyDescriptor>
   <AssertionConsumerService
     index="0"
     isDefault="true"
     Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
     Location="https://opencti.example.com/auth/saml/callback" />
 </SPSSODescriptor>

</EntityDescriptor>

Don’t forget to replace the Location= attribute and the content of X509Certificate.

Adding OpenCTI::NG to LemonLDAP configuration

Add a new new SAML Service Provider to the LemonLDAP::NG configuration with the following parameters:

  • Metadata
    • Copy the Metadata generated at the previous step

  • Exported Attributes
    • variable name: groups

    • attribute name: groups
