  1. Fidelity Feedbackon SAML 1.X and ID-FF 1.X Patrick Harding Enterprise Architecture Fidelity Investments

  2. Fidelity and Web Services • Enterprise commitment to XML in 1999 • Migrated 90% of inter-BU communication to XML/HTTP • Endorse standards bodies • OASIS Member • WS-I Member • Liberty Management Board • W3C Member • HR-XML Consortium • Externalized first web services to business partners in 2001

  3. Fidelity Use Cases These are the simple ones  • Employee SSO across internal applications • Employee SSO access to external services • Customer SSO access to Fidelity

  4. Use Case 1: Employee SSO across Internal Applications • Employee Intra-enterprise SSO • Current solution leverages proprietary cookie • Issues integrating COTS applications • Use SAML V1.X • SSO Browser POST Profile • No requirement for federation • Starting proof-of-concept • Issues • No logout in SAML • No profiles for Web Service clients • No profile for WSRP

  5. Use Case 2: Employee Access to External Services • Employee Inter-enterprise SSO • Initiated from Fidelity employee portal • Current solutions are proprietary or involve separate UserID and Password • Also involves batch transfer of employee data • Use SAML V1.X and Liberty ID-FF V1.X where appropriate. • Fidelity is the Source/Identity Provider • SSO Browser Artifact Profile • May require federation (account linking) • May require single logout • Also expose attribute service to allow service provider to retrieve employee data • Issues • External Service Provider support for Liberty/SAML • Forced to use opaque id’s with Liberty

  6. Use Case 3: Customer SSO Access to Fidelity • Customer Inter-enterprise SSO • Fidelity clients are requesting SSO access to Fidelity from their employee portal • Fidelity has at least two proprietary solutions in place • Fidelity accepts batch feeds of client’s employee data • Use Liberty ID-FF V1.X • Fidelity is the Service Provider • SSO Browser Artifact Profile • Opt-in/Opt-out Dynamic Federation and Bulk Federation • Single Logout is required • Issues • External client support for Liberty • Extensibility confusion (saml:Advice, etc) • Optional requirement for AuthNRequest • No standardized credential collection for web service clients

  7. Technical Issues Summary • Fidelity needs a single standard for SSO and Identity Federation • Client support for Liberty/SAML • Needs to be simpler • Every enterprise will be an IdP for its employees • SAML 1.X lacks certain features that ID-FF 1.X provides • e.g. Log-out, Federation, De-federation • ID-FF 1.X lacks certain features that SAML 1.X provides • e.g. One-way SSO flow • SAML extensibility confusion • No standardized XML language for credential collection • Versioning is not well defined
