Using CTE-U with Multi-factor Authentication

Integration with Keycloak requires creating an OIDC connection in CipherTrust Manager, after you create an OIDC template in Keycloak.

Prerequisites

Have a CipherTrust Manager set up with:

• Client Profile enabled for Multifactor Authentication

• Registration token

On the Keycloak platform

The following is the minimum setup for a Keycloak platform. Refer to Keycloak documentation for more information.

1. Create an admin user.

2. Login to the realm and create one or more users.

3. Create a password for the user.

4. Create an OIDC client in realm with the following settings enabled:

   • General Settings:

     • Client Type: OpenID Connect

     • Client ID: Client name

   • Capability Config:

     • Client Authentication: On

   • Authentication flow:

     • Select: Standard flow and Direct access grants

5. Note three OIDC parameters:

   • OIDC Provider: https://<keycloak-name>:<keycloak-port>/realms/<realm-name>/.well-known/openid-configuration

   • Client-ID as configured for the OIDC client

   • Client-Secret as shown for the OIDC client

Create an OIDC connection on CipherTrust Manager

1. Log on to the CipherTrust Manager GUI as an administrator.

2. In the left pane, click Access Management > Connections.

3. In the Connections, click Add Connection.

4. Click OIDC and then click Next.

5. Provide a name for the connection and click Next.

6. Enter values for the configuration information.

   Note

   Refer to your Multifactor Authentication provider profile for the values:

   • URL of OIDC provider:
   Linux

   • For KeyCloak, select the URL of the OIDC provider

   Windows

   • For Thales Safenet Trusted Access, select Well Known Configuration URL

   • For all other providers, select the URL of the OIDC provider

   • Client-ID as configured for the OIDC client

   • Client-Secret as shown for the OIDC client

7. Click Next and in the Add Products window, select CTE for product.
