SSOReady-Ruby: SAML & SCIM for Ruby

ssoready is a Ruby SDK for the SSOReady API.

SSOReady is a set of open-source dev tools for implementing Enterprise SSO. You can use SSOReady to add SAML and SCIM support to your product this afternoon.

For example applications built using SSOReady-Ruby, check out:

Installation

Add this dependency to your project's Gemfile:

gem install ssoready
# or
bundle add ssoready

Usage

This section provides a high-level overview of how SSOReady works, and how it's possible to implement SAML and SCIM in just an afternoon. For a more thorough introduction, visit the SAML quickstart or the SCIM quickstart.

The first thing you'll do is create a SSOReady client instance:

require "ssoready"

ssoready = SSOReady::Client.new # loads your API key from the env var SSOREADY_API_KEY

SAML in two lines of code

SAML (aka "Enterprise SSO") consists of two steps: an initiation step where you redirect your users to their corporate identity provider, and a handling step where you log them in once you know who they are.

To initiate logins, you'll use SSOReady's Get SAML Redirect URL endpoint:

# this is how you implement a "Sign in with SSO" button
redirect_url = ssoready.saml.get_saml_redirect_url(
    # the ID of the organization/workspace/team (whatever you call it)
    # you want to log the user into
    organization_external_id: "..."
).redirect_url

# redirect the user to `redirect_url`...

You can use whatever your preferred ID is for organizations (you might call them "workspaces" or "teams") as your organization_external_id. You configure those IDs inside SSOReady, and SSOReady handles keeping track of that organization's SAML and SCIM settings.

To handle logins, you'll use SSOReady's Redeem SAML Access Code endpoint:

# this goes in your handler for POST /ssoready-callback
redeem_result = ssoready.saml.redeem_saml_access_code(saml_access_code: "saml_access_code_...")

email = redeem_result.email
organization_external_id = redeem_result.organization_external_id

# log the user in as `email` inside `organizationExternalId`...

You configure the URL for your /ssoready-callback endpoint in SSOReady.

SCIM in one line of code

SCIM (aka "Enterprise directory sync") is basically a way for you to get a list of your customer's employees offline.

To get a customer's employees, you'll use SSOReady's List SCIM Users endpoint:

list_scim_users_response = ssoready.scim.list_scim_users(
    organization_external_id="my_custom_external_id"
)

# create users from each scim user
list_scim_users_response.scim_users.each do |scim_user|
    # every scim_user has an id, email, attributes, and deleted
end
