VMware Workspace One Access Integration with AuthPoint

Deployment Overview

This document describes how to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for VMware Workspace One Access with AuthPoint as an identity provider. VMware must already be configured and deployed before you set up MFA with AuthPoint.

VMware Workspace One Access Authentication Data Flow with AuthPoint

AuthPoint communicates with various cloud-based services and service providers with the SAML protocol. This diagram shows the data flow of an MFA transaction for VMware Workspace One Access.

Before You Begin

Before you begin these procedures, make sure that:

• Users can log in to VMware Workspace One Access.
• You have a VMware Workspace One Access user account and an AuthPoint user account. Both accounts must use the same email address.
• You have an AuthPoint identity provider (IdP) certificate An AuthPoint IdP certificate is required for SAML authentication. (go to Certificate Management).

Additional charges might apply to use VMware Workspace One Access.

Configure VMware Workspace One Access

Create a New SAML IDP

Before you can configure VMware Workspace One Access, download the metadata file from the Certificate Management page in the AuthPoint management UI.

1. Log in to WatchGuard Cloud.
2. From the navigation menu, select Configure > AuthPoint.
   If you have a Service Provider account, you must select an account from Account Manager.
3. Select Resources.

4. Click Certificate.

5. Next to the AuthPoint certificate that you want to associate with your resource, click and select Download Metadata or Copy Metadata URL.
   
   We recommend that you choose the certificate with the latest expiration date. If you do not have a certificate, or if all of your certificates have expired, click Add Certificate and use the new certificate.

   The AuthPoint metadata URL provides your resource, in this case VMware Workspace One Access, with information necessary to identify AuthPoint as a trusted identity provider.

6. Log in to VMware Workspace One Access as an administrator.
7. Select Integrations > Identity Providers.
8. Click Add Identity Provider and select Create SAML IDP.

9. In the Identity Provider Name text box, type a name for the new identity provider. In this example, we type WatchGuard AuthPoint.
10. From the Binding protocol drop-down list, select HTTP Redirect or HTTP Post.
    This field appears after you enter the metadata URL or metadata file in the Identity Provider Metadata(URL or XML) text box, and click Process IDP Metadata.
11. In the Identity Provider Metadata (URL or XML) text box, type or paste the metadata URL copied from AuthPoint or the metadata file downloaded from AuthPoint in the previous section.

Configure AuthPoint

Before AuthPoint can receive authentication requests from VMware Workspace One Access, you must add a SAML resource In AuthPoint, resources are the applications and services that your users connect to. in AuthPoint. You must also create a Zero Trust authentication policy Authentication policies specify which resources users can authenticate to and which authentication methods they can use (Push, QR code, and OTP). for the VMware Workspace One Access resource to determine which users can authenticate and log in to VMware Workspace One Access and which authentication methods they can use (Push, QR code, and OTP).

Add a SAML Resource in AuthPoint

From the AuthPoint management UI:

1. From the navigation menu, select Resources. Click Add Resource.
   The Add Resource page opens.

2. From the Type drop-down list, select SAML.
   Additional fields appear.

3. From the SAML page, in the Name text box, type a name for this resource.
4. From the Application Type(Integration Guide) drop-down list, select Others.
5. Open the service provider metadata file you saved and copy the entityID, AssertionConsumerService Location, and SingleLogoutService Location values.
6. In the Service Provider Entity ID text box, paste the entityID value from the Service Provider metadata file.
7. In the Assertion Consumer Service text box, paste the AssertionConsumerService Location value from the Service Provider metadata file.
8. From the User ID sent on redirection to service provider drop-down list, select one of the values. In this example, we select Email.
9. In the Logout URL text box, type or paste the SingleLogoutService Location value from the Service Provider metadata file.
10. From the Signature Method drop-down list, select SHA-256.
11. From the AuthPoint Certificate drop-down list, select the AuthPoint certificate to associate with your resource. This must be the same certificate that you downloaded the metadata for in the previous section.
12. Click Save.

Add a Group in AuthPoint

You must have at least one user group in AuthPoint to configure MFA. If you already have a group, you do not have to add another group.

To add a WatchGuard Cloud-hosted group to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory:

1. Go to Configure > Directories and Domain Services.
2. Click the WatchGuard Cloud Directory domain name. If you have not yet added the WatchGuard Cloud Directory, click Add Authentication Domain and select the WatchGuard Cloud Directory.
   The New Group page appears.

3. In the Groups tab, click Add Group.
4. In the Group Name text box, type a descriptive name for the group.
5. (Optional) In the Description text box, type a description of the group.

6. Click Save.
   Your group is added to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory and to AuthPoint.

Add a Zero Trust Authentication Policy

Zero Trust policies specify which resources users can authenticate to and which authentication methods they can use (Push, QR code, and OTP).

You must have at least one Zero Trust authentication policy that includes the VMware Workspace One Access resource. If you already have Zero Trust authentication policies, you do not have to create a new authentication policy. You can add this resource to your existing authentication policies.

Users that do not have an authentication policy for a specific resource cannot authenticate to log in to that resource.

To configure a Zero Trust authentication policy:

1. Go to Configure > Zero Trust. If you have a Service Provider account, you must select an account from Account Manager.
2. Click Add Policy.
3. Type a name for this policy.
4. In the Target section, from the Content drop-down list, select which groups this policy applies to. You can make multiple selections to add multiple groups.
5. In the Resources section, select the AuthPoint resources this policy applies to.
6. In the Conditions section, select the conditions that apply to this policy. When you add a condition to an authentication policy, the policy applies only to user authentications that match the policy and the policy conditions. For example, if you add a Network Location to a policy, the policy only applies to user authentications that come from that Network Location. Users who only have a policy that includes a Network Location do not get access to the resource when they authenticate outside of that Network Location (because they do not have a policy that applies, not because authentication is denied). For more information, go to About Zero Trust Conditions.
   1. (Optional) To create a new condition, click Add New Condition. After you create a new condition, you must still add the condition to the policy.
   2. From the Type drop-down list, select the type of condition to add to the policy.
   3. From the Name drop-down list, select which condition of the chosen type to add to the policy.
   4. To add more conditions, repeat Step 6.

      If you add conditions to a policy, we recommend that you create a second policy for the same groups and resources without the conditions. Assign a higher priority to the policy with the policy objects. For more information about priority, go to About Zero Trust Policy Precedence.

7. In the Action section, select an option to specify whether to allow or deny authentications for the resources in this policy. In our example, we want to allow authentications.
   • Allow — Allow user groups in this policy access to the resources associated with this policy.
• Deny — Deny authentications when users in the groups associated with this policy try to authenticate to the resources associated with this policy.
8. If you allow access with this policy, select the check box for each authentication option users can select when they authenticate to resources in this policy with MFA.

   For SAML resources, if you select more than one authentication option, users must select one of the available options when they authenticate. For example, if you select OTP and Push, users can choose to type their OTP or approve a push to authenticate. You cannot require that they do both.

9. Click Save.
   Your policy is created and added to the end of the policy list.
10. Review the order of your policies and adjust as necessary. For more information about priority, go to About Zero Trust Policy Precedence.

Add Users to AuthPoint

Before you assign users to a group, you must add the users to AuthPoint. There are two ways to add AuthPoint user accounts:

• Sync users from an external user database
• Add WatchGuard Cloud-hosted AuthPoint users

Each user must be a member of a group. You must add at least one group before you can add users to AuthPoint.

Test the Integration

To test AuthPoint MFA with VMware Workspace One Access, you can authenticate with a mobile token on your mobile device. You can choose any method (Push, QR code, or OTP).

In this example, we show the push authentication method. Users receive a push notification in the mobile app that they must approve to authenticate.

1. In a web browser, go to your VMware Workspace One Access URL.
2. Type your email address or AuthPoint user name. Click Next.
3. If required, in the Password text box, type your password.
4. For the authentication method, select Send Push.
5. Click Send.
6. Approve the authentication request that you received on your mobile device.
   You are logged in to the catalog portal of Workspace One Access.
