Single Sign ON (SSO) in iOS 7 - ios

I have a question about one of new features in iOS 7 - Single Sign On.
Are there any detailed info about it? Has somebody already tried it for implementation? I searched a lot of articles and docs - but did not find any useful. I also did not find any detailed info on Apple and Developers Apple resources. There are no visual setting for SSO in iOS 7 GM version (I am not sure if it should be there).
So my question is - have somebody already investigated it and may be somebody can share some links and useful info? Are there any technical descriptions of this feature and is it existed some how in iOS 7 GM?
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend watching WWDC 2013 Session 301 "Extending Your Apps for Enterprise and Education Use"
Also, for an overview of an implementation of this functionality this site helps.
Lastly, here is Apple's documentation (available to developers). Look for the heading: Single Sign-On Account Payload.
Configuring SSO on a device will require Apple Configurator to install the profile or an MDM solution for OTA delivery of the SSO profile.

To make SSO (Kerberos) working on iOS7 you need 3 things:
On the server side: Kerberos environment + HTTP SPNego/Kerberos authentication configured. SSO in iOS works only for HTTP(S).
Configuration profile containing:
[Obligatory] Your Kerberos realm.
[Obligatory] Your Kerberos principal (usually username), this can be left empty - in that case user will be asked to specify it during the profile installation.
[Obligatory] List of URL prefixes of the pages allowed to use SSO. Wildcards cannot be used here, if the prefix doesn't end with slash character, it will be automatically appended to it.
[Optional] List of bundle IDs allowed to use SSO, if empty all applications are allowed. Wildcards in bundle IDs can be used.
Application that supports it, Safari and WebKit (UIWebView class) do. As described in WWDC 2013 Session Videos number 301, you have to use either NSURLConnection or NSURLSession class. This is a simplified example of the HTTP traffic when authenticating using the SPNego scheme:
Client: GET https://login.example.com/adfs/ls/auth/integrated/?data1=aa&data2=...
Server: 401 Unathorized
+header WWW-Authentificate: Negotiate
Client: GET https://login.example.com/adfs/ls/auth/integrated/?data1=aa&data2=...
+header Authorization: Negotiate [SPNegotInitToken]
Server: 200 OK
+header Authorization: Negotiate [SpnegoTargToken]
+header set-cookie [SESSIONID]
The dialog with prompt for the Kerberos password (if the Kerberos ticket has not yet been granted/expired) will appear after receiving "WWW-Authentificate". Obj-C classes will handle automatically all the redirects and authentication process, so the only thing you need is to make a request to the login URL and allow this URL in the profile.

Enterprise Single Sign On lets user sign in once on their device and let all apps on device use it fo authentication.In case of twitter, links below will be useful for you,

Apple Signin Domain verification failed

I am trying to do the Sign-in with apple feature in my iOS app with support for iOS less than iOS 13, I got suggestions from the web to do it with Apple Sign in JS. In order to do that I need to create a Service for Authentication. I completed steps up to domain verification, as per mentioned in a blog. but can't verify the domain.
I am using a subdomain. I downloaded the file and uploaded in .well-known folder correctly as mentioned. Tried more times but no result. Do I miss anything? Can anybody help me with this?
check your domain has redirect logic or not, for example, if your site redirects https://example.com to https://www.example.com, then verification probably will fail. It was mentioned in Apple's document. You might need to remove the redirect logic temporary then click that verify button.
looks like apple can only verify the top domain, I don't think www.example.com will work, but example.com should work.

office add-in asp.net MVC Application cannot Authenticate against AzureAD getting error: IDX10311

I created a new ASP.NET MVC WebApplication in Visual Studio 2015 with the options to use School or Work Accounts to authenticate against an AzureAD. This worked fine.
Then I converted the Project to an App for Office Project as an Excel Task-Pane Add-In.
Then when I start the Application it starts an Excel Spreadsheet with a taskpane showing the request to login with Microsoft. When selecting an account or choosing to log-in with another account I get redirected to login.mocrosoft.com in a new Browser but receive the following error:
IDX10311: RequireNonce is 'true' (default) but validationContext.Nonce
is null. A nonce cannot be validated. If you don't need to check the
nonce, set OpenIdConnectProtocolValidator.RequireNonce to 'false'.
The URL shown in the new browser is "https://localhost:44300/" since I am debugging locally I take it.
Is this an issue because the authentication originates from the Task-Pane? Is the Task-Pane the same as an iFrame? If so it could be a similar issue as the following problem: OpenIDConnect Azure Website hosted in an iFrame within Dynamics CRM Online
Can I simply set the RequiredNonce to false? If so how?
Please help me to create an App for Office with Authentication against an AzureAD / Office365Domain? The AzureAD I am authenticating against is my private Free MSDN Subscription currently, wanting to use the company's Office365 AzureAD in future.
I am using Office2016, VS2015, Microsoft.Office.js Version 1.1.0.9.
First, it is feasible to do what you are looking for, have a look on my add-in: Keluro Mail Team. Keep on working, you'll manage to make things work^^.
Step1
First, start with the most simple scenario: your auth process should work in a standard window we sill see the sandboxed iFrame later. Check your OAUTH flow when browsing your 'app directly', i.e. test your authentication as a plain regular web app which is served in your case at https://localhost:44300/". To avoid javascript errors remove all Office.js related stuffs and the Office.Initialize function.
From the error message dealing with Nonce, I bet you are implementing a code authorization flow. This should be more or less something that looks like this sample. In this code authorization flow, the token and the REST requests are made by your server using an authorization token. Meanwhile authentication between your server and your web app is made with a plain old asp.NET cookie (in the sample above at least). This scenario is OK for our purpose, I use it too. To complete this step, try to request some basic stuff that is not related with Office.js but only with the Office 365 REST api. In one word forget that your developing and Office add-in, image you are developing an Office 365 web app.
Step2
Now that you completed Step1 you can go for step 2: make things work in a sandboxed iFrame within Office. Have a look at this blog post from Richard DiZerega. This is the most reasonable approach to handle OAUTH flow in a sandboxed environment. If you are using the sample mentioned in Step 1 above, the authentication between your server and your app is made using an asp.NET cookie. Following, Richard's guideline you could keep it in a server-side cookie dictionary after the popup OAUTH flow is completed and then set it in a request from the original iFrame. To recognize that the two windows correspond to the same user you can generate (cryptographically secure!) an id that you can pass in the two requests (parameters are encrypted in https). Ok that is complicated but it works. The SignalR technique Richard talks about is a plus for user experience but is not mandatory, that could be a Step3.
I solved my issue by adding https://login.microsoftonline.com and https://login.live.com to the App Domains in the App Manifest. I dont understand the technology, so I cannot comment on why this works, but the solution works for me.

LinkedIn oauth2 url one or more urls are not allowed

We integrated our application with LinkedIn for sign on over 6 months ago and it's been working fine. Today, we went to developer.linkedin.com for our application to update the "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URLs" to add an additional URL. We previously had the production domain, test domains, and localhost entered. Now, when we save, we receive the "One or more urls are not allowed." error message. Through process of elimination, it appears to not approve our test domain "relode-dev.azurewebsites.net".
I've checked with SURBL and none of the domains we're entering are blacklisted.
Can someone explain why "relode-dev.azurewebsites.net" is no longer valid when it was for 6 months?
After experimenting some more, it looks like LinkedIn doesn't allow any *.azurewebsites.net domains any more. I'm not sure why they created this policy. For now, the workaround seems to be adding your own custom domain to your Azure website and using it in the LinkedIn OAuth 2.0a Redirect URL. You can follow the article at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-custom-domain-name/ to set up your custom domain.
If LinkedIn reads this, it would be nice if you notified third-party developers when you make policy changes like this. We've had to scramble for the past few days to workaround this change.
edit: fixed the url to the azure help page (it had an extra word on the end causing it to 404).

JMeter - How can I use the proxy with secure mobile pages?

I'm using JMeter's proxy to record the HTTP traffic from a mobile app.
It works fine with non secure HTTP requests, but when I try to make a HTTPS request I get an error: "The certificate for this server is invalid" (see screenshot below).
This is of course expected. If I'm on a PC I can simply click on "accept bad certificate" (or something like that) but this isn't an option for my mobile app (I'm testing amazon's app for example).
Is there a way to get my iPhone (or other mobile device) to accept JMeter's certificate?
Is there another way to do this with a REAL mobile device?
edit:
Some of the answers talk about how to modify my app.
I can't modify the app myself - so I need a solution that doesn't require any app modification.
After some research I found this link:
http://nat.guyton.net/2012/01/20/adding-trusted-root-certificate-authorities-to-ios-ipad-iphone/
Which almost works :)
The comments say that in iOS 6 and up using a MD5 doesn't work, and the default key JMeter is using is MD5.
Any thoughts?
Update Feb 13, 2014:
I had given up on this originally, but recently came across an article about using Charles proxy with a real device to capture SSL traffic by adding a certificate to your iPhone. After following the instructions here it works!
http://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/faqs/ssl-connections-from-within-iphone-applications/
So now I know a solution IS possible, but I'm still stuck on how to get it to work - now using JMeter 2.11 and iOS 7
Thanks

HTTPS post request in IOS
I just happened to write an article on that given the new restrictions on iOS 13. In a nutshell:
Generate a certificate.
Import it into your proxy tool (I used OWASP ZAP).
Import the certificate into iOS and add it as a trusted authority.
Access iOS’ proxy settings and point it to your computer.
Full details in the article link below. Hope you find it helpful.

SalesForce API: OAuth authorization error 1800

I am brand new to SalesForce development, and want to explore the API and its capabilities. I have created a new Developer Edition account. I have not yet tried to access the API programmatically, but I am trying (unsuccessfully) to access it via both the Workbench ( https://workbench.developerforce.com/login.php ) and the Apigee Console ( https://apigee.com/console/salesforce ).
For some reason, in both cases I'm redirected to a URL with OAuth error code 1800 (e.g. https://na15.salesforce.com/setup/secur/RemoteAccessErrorPage.apexp?oauth_error_code=1800&display=popup in the Workbench case). At this URL, I am getting a screen with the text "Remote Access Authorization Error" - "There was a problem in setting up your remote access". What am I doing wrong?
Some additional details:
I can log into SalesForce just fine, the problem only occurs with API/OAuth access
I have not touched anything in my brand-new Developer Edition account, except for (1) populating it with some sample data (Leads, Accounts, Contacts), and (2) resetting the security token (through "My Personal Information" -> "Reset My Security Token")
On the WorkBenh login screen, it does not matter which API version I choose (tried 24, 25 and 26), and I am using "Production" for the Environment since my login doesn't seem to work at all for Pre-Release or Sandbox
(not a real answer, I expect to update it frequently as the situation develops)
Weird.
Yes, Developer Edition is a "Production" as far as connecting apps are concerned. You might have to file a Case with Salesforce Support (Help&Training link in the upper right corner).
Workbench does use API (and probably so does this Apigee thingie) but if you're using your username & pass I don't see how it might go to OAuth...
Can you download any other SF-related tooling (Data Loader, Force.com IDE, Real Force Explorer, Excel Connector, some iPad/Android app... hell, Chatter for Desktop even) and try the connectivity?
Sometimes API products don't display special field for the security token (which you can bypass by entering longer string in the password field: "passwordSecurityToken") but Workbench never asked for a token when I was accessing my Dev. Edition.
There was an issue with OAuth on NA15, but should be resolved now. I tested with Workbench with a brand new NA15 org and its working as expected.
I've run into this when I try and "short circuit" the auth url by decoding the startUrl param and going straight to it in a tab that's already logged in. For example
login to some org on na14.salesforce.com
click sfdx authorize an org in vs code with default url
get sent to a url like https://login.salesforce.com/?startURL=%2Fsetup%2Fsecur%2FRemoteAccessAuthorizationPage.apexp%3Fsource%3D<long_base64_encoded_string>
use a url decoder (i.e. https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/) to translate that to https://login.salesforce.com/?startURL=/setup/secur/RemoteAccessAuthorizationPage.apexp?source=<long_base64_encoded_string>
change the url to match the domain i'm logged in as, i.e. https://na14.salesforce.com/?startURL=/setup/secur/RemoteAccessAuthorizationPage.apexp?source=<long_base64_encoded_string>
go through the standard oauth grant
success
For the most part that works fine, but in some cases I get that wonderful oauth error 1800. In those cases I've been able to work around the issue by specifying the specific domain my instance is on when starting the oauth authorization. Using the above example for step 2 I would chose https://na14.salesforce.com for the the url (other oauth flows typically provide a similar custom url input, but ymmv). Voila, step 7 is successful.
Can't say for sure if that's exactly what will happen for others.
