Enable Keyless passwordless biometric authentication to Salesforce.
Keyless passwordless biometric authentication can address any MFA requirement to authenticate to Salesforce Portal.
This guide provides a step-by-step introduction to configure Salesforce Portal to authenticate using Keyless passwordless biometric authentication. In this guide Keyless will be set up as an authentication provider to Salesforce at a high assurance level to address any MFA requirements. Also we'll configure Keyless enrolment fetaures to provide the ability for Salesforce users to register/enrol for Keyless authentication.
Following is a short video to showcase Keyless authentication experience to Salesforce.
In order to enable your users to authenticate into Salesforce portal/dashboard via Keyless you’ll need to configure Keyless as an authentication provider in Salesforce.
As part of the onboarding process you’ll receive the following pieces of information from Keyless to complete an authentication provider configuration in Salesforce:
Paramater | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Login Icon URI | Can be used as an logon icon for Keyless authentication on logon page | https://<your-keyless-tenant>/static/keyless.svg |
Token Issuer | OIDC Issuer | https://<your-keyless-tenant> |
Token Endpoint URL | Token OIDC Endpoint URL | https://<your-keyless-tenant>/connect/token |
Authorize Endpoint URL | OIDC Authorization Endpoint URL | https://<your-keyless-tenant>/connect/authorize |
User Info Endpoint URL | OIDC User Info Endpoint URL | https://<your-keyless-tenant>/connect/userinfo |
Scope | OIDC Scope | openid profile email |
Consumer Key | OIDC Client ID | - |
Consumer Secret | OIDC Client Secret | - |
All configuration steps outlined below need to be performed on Salesforce portal with administrative privileges.
- Create an OIDC Auth Provider
- Identity → Auth Providers → New
- Select Open Id Connect as provider type
OIDC Authentication Provider
- Populate the configuration parameters from the information provided by Keyless team to complete Auth provider configuaration as shown below
Configure Keyless Auth Provider
- Make a note of the URLs under Salesforce Configuration section
- Callback URL: Need to be provided to Keyless team to complete authentication provider configuration on Keyless end
- Existing User Linking URL: Use this URL to link existing Salesforce users to their respective Keyless account
- Following is a sample Registration handler code
// Example Registration Handler
global class KLRegHandler101 implements Auth.RegistrationHandler{
global User createUser(Id portalId, Auth.UserData data){
//The user is authorized, so create their Salesforce user
User u = new User();
Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM profile WHERE name='Standard User'];
//TODO: Customize the username. Also check that the username doesn't already exist and
//possibly ensure there are enough org licenses to create a user. Must be 80 characters
//or less.
for(string key : data.attributeMap.keySet())
{
system.debug('Create Incoming Attr Map key: [' + key + '] value: [' + data.attributeMap.get(key)+ ']');
}
u.username = data.username;
u.email = data.email;
u.lastName = data.lastName;
u.firstName = data.firstName;
String alias = data.username;
if(alias.length() > 8) {
alias = alias.substring(0, 8);
}
u.alias = alias;
u.languagelocalekey = UserInfo.getLocale();
u.localesidkey = UserInfo.getLocale();
u.emailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8';
// u.timeZoneSidKey = UserInfo.getTimeZone();
u.profileId = p.Id;
return u;
}
global void updateUser(Id userId, Id portalId, Auth.UserData data){
User u = new User(id=userId);
//TODO: Customize the username. Must be 80 characters or less.
//u.username = data.username + '@myorg.com';
for(string key : data.attributeMap.keySet())
{
system.debug('Updt Incoming Attr Map key: [' + key + '] value: [' + data.attributeMap.get(key)+ ']');
}
system.debug('Updt Pre Username: ' + u.username );
system.debug('Updt Pre Email: ' + u.email);
system.debug('Updt Pre SN: ' + u.lastName);
system.debug('Updt Pre Email: ' + u.alias);
system.debug('Updt Pre Profile: ' + u.profileId);
system.debug('Updt Pre First Name: ' + u.firstName);
system.debug('Updt Pre Email Enc: ' + u.emailEncodingKey );
update(u);
}
}
- Update Domain Configuration to Enable Keyless Authentication Option on Logon Page
- Company Settings → My Domain
- Edit Authentication Configuration
- Enable Keyless
- Configure Keyless as High Assurance authentication mechanism
- Keyless authentication is now enabled
Keyless Authentication to Salesforce
To enable enrolment of Salesforce users with Keyless we’ll need to configure Salesforce as an OIDC Identity Provider and Keyless as OIDC Relying Party/ Service Provider. Parameters required to create the client/connected application on Salesforce are provided in your Keyless onboarding package. Once the application is configured you’ll need to send some configuration information back to Keyless to complete the configuration on Keyless end.
Following are the pieces of information from Keyless required to configure Salesforce Connected Application:
Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Login /Redirect URL | OIDC RP Configuration | https://<your-keyless-enrolment-server>/signin-oidc |
Post Logout Redirect URL | OIDC RP Configuration | https://<your-enrolment-server>/signout/callback |
Keyless Enrolment URL | Keyless Enrolment server | https://<your-keyless-enrolment-server> |
We’ll configure SFDC as a OIDC IdP and Keyless as OIDC RP
- On Salesforce go to Settings → Identity → Identity Provider and enable Identity Provider and save
- Make a note of the Issuer URL: Issuer URL needs to be sent to Keyless to configure Keyless enrolment server.
Enable Identity Provider
- Click on Service Provider link at the bottom to create a Connected App/ Service Provider
- Check Enable OAuth Settings to configure OAuth/OIDC parameters
- Enter the callback URLs of Keyless Enrolment Server (these are Login/Redirect URL, Post Logout Redirect URL & Keyless Enrolment URL as described in the table at the beginning of this section)
OIDC Client App (Keyless) Configuration
- Click Save
- Make a note of the Client ID & Client Secret (for Keyless OIDC RP, these two parameters need to be sent back to Keyless for configuration of the Keyless enrolment server)
- Click New to add a Custom Attribute
Custom Attribute
This completes configuration on Salesforce end the following table is a summary of the 3-pieces of information that Keyless team will need to complete configuration of Keyless Enrolment service:
Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Issuer URL | OIDC IdP | https://<your-salesforce-tenant>.my.salesforce.com |
Consumer Key | OIDC Client ID | - |
Consumer Secret | OIDC Client Secret | - |
Once we have completed the steps above, we are now in a position to step though the entire process of enrolling a user to Keyless and then continue with Keyless authentication going forward.
- Prerequisite is to have a compatible mobile (android/iOS) device with Keyless Authenticator App installed: Installation instructions are located here https://docs.keyless.io/userguide/install-mobile-app
- Create a new Salesforce user from SFDC dashboard (e.g. [email protected])
- Enrol the newly created user to Keyless (if this account is not enrolled already)
- From a web browser go to Keyless Enrol Site: https://<<your-keylelss-registration-URL>> (provided by Keyless team)
- Authenticate to SFDC Portal with Userid/Password (following redirect from Keyless Enrolment page)
- Click on Enrol link & Scan the QR Code using Keyless Authenticator App on you mobile device
- Complete the registration process on your mobile device as guided by Keyless Authenticator App
- Registered account will appear on Keyless Authenticator App on the mobile device
- Log out from Salesforce browser session and this completes Keyless enrolment
- Link Salesforce User to his/her registered Keyless account
- Log on to SFDC with account linking URL
- Account Linking URL can be found on Salesforce Setup -> Auth Provider -> Salesforce Configuration section which will look like the following: https://<your-salesforce-tenant>.my.salesforce.com/services/auth/link/keyless
- Authenticate with Keyless via Keyless Authenticator App on your mobile device
- After a successful authentication with Keyless Salesforce portal will prompt you to Sign In with userID and password to link an SFDC user to the authenticated Keyless account
- that completes the account linking between SFDC and Keyless account
- From a browser access your Salesforce portal: https://<your-salesforce-tenant>.my.salesforce.com
- Log on to SFDC
- via Keyless: Click on SignIn with Keyless button as opposed to providing uid/password
- Authenticate via Keyless Mobile Authenticator
- That completes keyless authentication to SFDC
