 LDAP

SAML

Azure

Cloud or on-premiseBoth - Some organizations do not want to expose LDAP to the internet so they choose on-premise. Read how LDAPs in the cloud is secure.Both - Primarily used for cloud tenants who do not want to expose their LDAP directly to the internetBoth - provides a simple and secure way to access identity management (azure AD) in the cloud

Are Uses/Roles automatically synchronizied with your Live Forms tenant(s) ?

Yes - Manual user/role sync (via frevvo csv upload for example) is not required. The frevvo server automatically gets users & roles from LDAP.

No - if “auth only” mode selected - Manual or automated csv uploads required on a regular basis Users/Roles must be created in your tenant manually. The CSV upload is a good way to do this.

Partial sync if discovery mode ( “auth only” off). User details and user’s roles are automatically discovered each time the user logs into the tenant. Thus the tenant can get out of sync with your IDP therefore manual or automated csv uploads on a regular basis are still recommended.

Yes - Manual user/role sync (via frevvo csv upload for example) is not required. The frevvo server automatically gets users & roles from Azure AD.
Single Sign On

Cloud - not available

In-house - In-house - Must configure IIS using the IIS to Tomcat Connector 

YesYes
Authentication Only Mode ChoiceNo - You must change your IDP (LDAP in this case) to have roles you need in your frevvo workflow if they do not already exist. All user information is maintained in LDAPYesYes
Authentication Only = YesNot Supported

SAML handles authentication only - roles/users managed & maintained via the tenant Users/Roles UI.

Changes made via the tenant Users/Roles UI do not get overridden when user logs in/out.

You may choose this mode if:

  • You do not want to add  roles to your LDAP.
  • LDAP has many roles that have no relevance to your workflow.
  • Find the SAML mapping for the other required attributes complex. For some IDPs, retrieving the manager user id and role names may require writing custom rules.

Con - (1) All user information (email address) must be managed by the frevvo tenant admin. This can get out of sync with your IDP.

Note

You cannot pull custom attributes from your AD into your forms/flows in this mode.


Pro - You can add roles for frevvo workflow without having to edit your IDP

Azure handles authentication only. Authorization happens based on the roles defined in Azure AD.

Authentication Only mode is recommended if you are using the Azure Security Manager. It is checked by default.

Authentication Only = No

This is the only mode allowed in this SM and this property does not even exist to change it.

Groups needed for these user types in your IDP:

  • All Users that will have access to Live Forms must be members of the frevvo.user group.
  • Designer users must be members of the frevvo.user and frevvo.Designer groups
  • Tenant Admins must be members of the frevvo.User and frevvo.TenantAdmin groups

Users are discovered immediately the first time the tenant connects to the IDP and are automatically and always kept in sync without any manual intervention.

Groups needed for these user types in your IDP:

  • All Users that will have access to Live Forms must be members of the frevvo.user group.
  • Designer users must be members of the frevvo.user and frevvo.Designer groups
  • Tenant Admins must be members of the frevvo.User and frevvo.TenantAdmin groups

Users discovered when they log in.

Changes made via the the tenant Users/Roles UI are overwritten if user logs out then in again.

The option to turn off Authentication Only mode is not available when configuring the Azure SAML tenant.
If your company uses LDAP as your IDP, do you need to install additional software to use this frevvo Security Manager?NoYes -  (Either install one of the SAML 2.0 Implementations such as ADFS or use a cloud provider such as Okta, and configure it to talk to your LDAP server)Yes (You must purchase Azure AD in the cloud)
Can I embed frevvo forms/flows into my website with this Security Manager?Yes

Yes - if the visibility of the form is set to Public.

Yes - if the visibility of the form is set to Public in Tenant and the user is already authenticated to SAML

No - if the visibility of the form is set to Public in Tenant and the user is NOT already authenticated to SAML. This is because frevvo must direct the user to the IDP login screen and the browser will not allow loading the IDP login page in frevvo's form iframe.

Yes - if the visibility of the form is set to Public.

  • Make sure the users created in the default security manager tenant have the same user names as the users in your LDAP server..Users need the frevvo.User role to access . This should be configured in Active Directory on your LDAP server. 

Warning
customers should be aware that changing the Security Manager of your tenant is a ONE-WAY operation. Once you click the Change button, you cannot revert back to the original security manager.
