MongoDB Atlas Login 2023

Complete Login / Signup System – MongoDB Atlas

MongoDB Atlas Login: Azure Active Directory and SSO (Azure AD). When you combine Azure AD and MongoDB Atlas – SSO, you can:

Manage access to MongoDB Atlas, the MongoDB community, MongoDB University, and MongoDB Support with Azure AD.

Give your users the option of using their Azure AD accounts to log into MongoDB Atlas – SSO automatically.

Users can be given MongoDB Atlas roles based on which Azure AD groups they belong to.

You may manage all of your accounts through the Azure interface.

What Is MongoDB Atlas?

MongoDB developed and maintained MongoDB Atlas, a cloud-based database service. To assist users in setting up, managing, and securing new databases for their applications, it integrates with hosting services like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

When we deploy our production-ready apps, we’ll use its free service tier to host MongoDB databases for those applications. Visit the MongoDB Atlas website to learn more.

For now, that’s it! You don’t need to connect or add test data just now.

You can now create a production-ready database for deployment after setting up all your accounts.

Configure and test Azure AD SSO for MongoDB Atlas – SSO

Utilizing a test user named B.Simon, configure and test Azure AD SSO with MongoDB Atlas – SSO. You must create a connected relationship between an Azure AD user and the relevant user in MongoDB Atlas – SSO for SSO to function.

Follow these instructions to set up and test Azure AD SSO with MongoDB Atlas – SSO:

1. Configure Azure AD SSO to enable your users to use this feature.
   1. Create an Azure AD test user and test group to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
   2. Assign the Azure AD test user or test group to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
2. Configure MongoDB Atlas SSO to configure the single sign-on settings on the application side.
   1. Create a MongoDB Atlas SSO test user to have a counterpart of B.Simon in MongoDB Atlas – SSO, linked to the Azure AD representation of the user.
3. Test SSO to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Azure AD SSO

To enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal, adhere to these procedures.

1.In the Azure portal, on the MongoDB Atlas – SSO application integration page, find the Manage section. Select single sign-on.

2.On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

3.On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

4.In the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you want to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, enter the values for the following fields:a.

• a. In the Identifier text box, type a URL that uses the following pattern:
• https://www.okta.com/saml2/service-provider/<Customer_Unique>
• b. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL that uses the following pattern: https://auth.mongodb.com/sso/saml2/<Customer_Unique>

5.Select Set additional URLs, and perform the following step if you want to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL that uses the following pattern: https://cloud.mongodb.com/sso/<Customer_Unique>

6.You must add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration because the MongoDB Atlas – SSO application requires the SAML assertions to be in a particular format. The list of default properties is displayed in the snapshot that follows.

7.The MongoDB Atlas: SSO application anticipates a few additional attributes to be returned in the SAML response in addition to the ones listed above. Additionally, pre-populated, these attributes can be modified based on your needs.

Name	Source attribute
email	user.userprincipalname
firstName	user.givenname
lastName	user.surname

8.Add the following group claim to your SAML assertion if you want to provide useful information about their groups when authorizing users using MongoDB Atlas role mappings.

Name	Source attribute
memberOf	Group ID

The documentation for MongoDB Atlas contains instructions. Get in touch with the MongoDB support staff if you need assistance.

Create a MongoDB Atlas SSO test user

Just-in-time user provisioning is supported by MongoDB Atlas and is turned on by default. There is nothing else you need to do. After authentication, a new user is generated in MongoDB Atlas if one doesn’t already exist.

Test SSO

The following settings are used in this section to test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration.

SP initiated:

• Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to MongoDB Atlas Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
• Go to MongoDB Atlas Sign on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

• You should be signed in to the MongoDB Atlas for which you configured the SSO automatically when you click Test this application in the Azure portal.

Microsoft My Apps can also test the program in any mode. If configured in SP mode, you will be sent to the application sign-on page to begin the login flow when you click the MongoDB Atlas – SSO tile in the My Apps.

If configured in IDP mode, you should be automatically signed in to the MongoDB Atlas – SSO for which you set up the SSO. See Introduction to the My Apps for additional details on the My Apps.
