I am doing a comparison between some Identity Management tools, one of which is the WSO2 Identity Server. I have found a number of wsdl files regarding WSO2 IS web services.
Is there any kind of documentation regarding operations in the wsdl files? Because i can't seam to find any.
Yes. Identity Server contains many web service APIs.. These APIs mainly support for identity and entitlement management functions. You can find web service API such as UserAdmin, RemoteUserStoreManagerService , EntitlementService and so on. But there are some web service APIs for server management functions.. All the UI that you see in WSO2IS server, calls backend web service APIs to get the operation done.. Unfortunately there is no any good document on explaining all these web service APIs. But if you are looking some specific function, You can find them.. As an example, if you want to use WSO2IS as authorization server, You must look about EntitlementService API. More detail on it can be found here. Like that, You can search for some specific topic about WSO2IS in the internet..and get some details about these service.
But, If you like to list and see all WSDL of WSO2IS, You go through this question that is asked in SO. Actually by looking at the WSDL, You can even get some idea about the functions.

I'm currently building an app that consume data from WSO2AM Restful API. I'm using WSO2AM 2.1.0
From what I see from https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM210/Publisher+APIs, there is no API end point for User Management, and the thing is I need that one.
So after doing some google, I found this https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS530/Managing+Users+and+Roles+with+APIs but in that link it's clearly says that it's for WSO2IS
My questions are:
Is there available user management API for WSO2AM (doesn't matter if it's Restful or SOAP-WSDL)
Is this WSO2IS user management API can be used on the WSO2AM ?
Thank you in advance
All WSO2 products are built on a single platform, therefore components of each product are mixed in other products such as user management component is used by all of the WSO2 products even though it is developed as an identity component. Hence you can use the following steps to access the user management soap service in WSO2 API Manager.
Set the "HideAdminServiceWSDLs" element to "false" in /repository/conf/carbon.xml file.
Restart the API Manager Server.
If you have started the server in default configurations, use the following URL in your browser to see the WSDL of the admin service: https://localhost:9443/services/RemoteUserStoreManagerService?wsdl.
This is a very basic question. I want to do an SSO integration using ColdFusion but do not know where to start. I found the website ssoeasy.com through a google search, but am very confused about how to use it and where to find documentation.
I think it has something related with cfldap or cfhttp but not sure what and where:
<cfhttp method="get" url="http://testsso.com/login.cfm">
</cfhttp>
It really depends on what role you want to play in an SSO ecosystem. Are you an app in a larger federation (Service Provider), or are you trying to implement an SSO style login across multiple applications that you control, or are you looking to setup so that your users can log in with Google or Facebook or such other identity registers?
A few years back we did an implementation with Shibboleth (https://shibboleth.net/) and CF where our intended place in the system would be that of a Service Provider to other companies Identity Providers. It works pretty straight forward as we let Shibboleth handle all the SAML federation grunt work and then when it's completed we get an e-mail address (the unique identifier we decided on) back from Shibboleth saying that the user has been authenticated via the Identity Provider.
Other 'SSO' implementations are around for other types of integrations.
From CFCs to handle OAuth -- https://github.com/coldfumonkeh/oauth2
To integrated oauth support if you're running a new enough version of ColdFusion https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-m-o/cfoauth.html
Hope this is of assistance to you.
If I understand your SSO use case, the application will be a cloud service provider (SP). There are three things you need to determine to help in the selection of the appropriate technology, mainly (1) SSO protocol to integrate, mainly SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), etc. (2) Hosting, mainly Cloud, On-Prem, or hybrid, and (3) whether or not IdP discovery is needed for your business partners.
Being ColdFusion based as well as working to be a cloud SP web application, my experience is that the application is to be hosted by your organization, such that an on premise SSO capability is desired, as well as IdP Discovery will be needed for your partners.
As noted in your question there are some options for integration. I have found the most popular approach to being a SP website is to utilize a vendor product that handles the SSO protocol (e.g. SAML, OIDC) where the integration with your ColdFusion application is based upon a simple REST API integration. With this design pattern, the vendor product manages all the security of the SSO protocol and then simplifies integration to your application as a secure REST API exchange of identity information. This will minimize the impact to your application and also give the most support for modern identity. One product that offers this capability is PingFederate via the Agentless integration (also referred to as Reference ID integration). I have had much success integrating ColdFusion applications following this type of approach.
SAML seemed to be the easiest to implement for our team. Phil Duba's 2013 Beyond Encrypt() presentation is a good starting place. His website is down right now, but I'm sure you can find the downloadable file somewhere. Learning about SAML in general would be a good idea. Also, you can use Java, so maybe look at SAML/OAUTH Java examples and try doing that for Coldfusion since it is based on Java.
So I have currently been assigned to read about Web Services. I was going through the differences between REST, XML-RPC and SOAP and came across this particular link :
REST vs XML-RPC vs SOAP
It mentions this following, in terms of authentication and authorization
As for authentication and authorization, SOAP places the burden in the hands of the application developer. The REST methodology instead takes into account the fact that Web servers already have support for these tasks. Through the use of industry-standard certificates and a common identity management system, such as an LDAP server, developers can make the network layer do all the heavy lifting.
I was not able to understand this particular reference. Can some one explain how this happens in detail?
A web service is method or mechanism to communicate between different applications using open standard such as XML, WSDL, and SOAP. Using web service different device or program communicates over network
Type of WebService
SOAP Web Service
RESTFul Web Service
more information you can check :http://entityclass.in/rest/home.htm
what is meant by specifications for Restful web service.
I am new to Restful web services and I created a simple Rest web service with a 'Get' method/operation. The web service was created using jersey . I am asked for the specification for this web service and I am not sure what should be the correct answer.
It means you need to describe what calls are available and what type of objects they can receive or return. For some examples, have a look at the API documentation of major websites like the Twitter API Reference, Facebook Graph API, etc.
I have installed a wso2 identity server on my computer and now I am looking to have it act as an pdp and pep for my application which will be a website or database server. I already know how to create policies, the problem is that i can not seem to find a tutorial for how to connect a service to the identity server. what i want is for a tutorial to start off with the simple basic things and then I will be able to move on from there. thank you for your help
I think you want to use Identity Server as PDP. your application which is running on tomcat uses this PDP for authorization queries. Therefore you want to create PEP component with your application. PEP can do a web service call to WSO2IS PDP. Actually use can use the same PEP client source that is described in the above blog post. You can easily integrate it with your web app. However there is a sample web app that act as a PEP. Please refer the sample from here. Also source code of this web app can be found at here. If you just go through source code, you could find how it has been implemented.
You can find SOAP based PEP client for accessing WSO2 Identity Server's PDP from here. Also If you want more details on PDP PED communication related to WSO2 Identity Server, please find from here.
