Granular Access control policies

We are trying to use the Big IP system as a SAML service provider and PingFederate as a SAML Identity Provider.  Is it possible to create an access policy which allows/denies user to access a particular protected resource based on user atrributes or groups using F5 Big IP APM?

  • Hello,

     

    Yes of course, If you host your SP on F5 you can allows/denies user to access a particular SAML Attributes or LDAP attributes...

     

    You can also using per request policy allow user to access to a specific URI depending an LDAP/AD Attributes...

     

    give me exactly your need and I can help you to go ahead.

      Hi,

       

      Thank you for the information. Could you please point me towards any document on how to implement the authorization based on the LDAP attributes?

        Hello,

         

        You don't have a specific documentation for your need. In fact you have to use a generic access policy for authentication and LDAP query in order to retrieve needed attribute.

         

        Then you can use an per-request-policy in order to restrict URL access by LDAP/AD GRP or other.

         

        I alread implement this need for an custoer and I use Datagroup in order to set right:

        grp_A /uri1

        grp_B /uri2

        grp_C /uri3

         

        try to implent an per-request-policy... if you encouter a problem keep me in touch.
