Procore Integration with AuthPoint

Deployment Overview

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

Procore 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 Procore.

Before You Begin

Before you begin these procedures, make sure that:

Configure Procore

Enable Single Sign On in Procore

To start, you must download the metadata file from the Certificate Management page in the AuthPoint management UI. After you have that, you can configure Procore.

  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.

  1. Next to the AuthPoint certificate that you want to associate with your resource, click and select Download Metadata. 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 newly created certificate.

    The AuthPoint metadata URL provides your resource, in this case Procore, with the information necessary to identify AuthPoint as a trusted identity provider.

  2. Log in to Procore as an administrator.
  3. Select Company Tools > Core Tools > Admin.
    The account information page opens.

  1. Select Company Settings > Single Sign On Configuration.
    The Single Sign On Configuration page opens.
  2. Open the AuthPoint metadata file you downloaded in Step 5 and find the entityID, SingleSignOnService Location, and X509Certificate values.
  3. In the Single Sign On Issuer Url text box, paste the entityID value from the AuthPoint Metadata file.
  4. In the Single Sign On Target Url text box, paste the SingleSignOnService Location value from the AuthPoint metadata file.
  5. In the Single Sign On x509 Certificate text box, paste the X509Certificate value from the AuthPoint metadata file.
  6. Click Save Changes.
  7. Contact Procore Support Team and send the email domain of users who will be authenticated through SSO. In this example, we use watchguard.com.
    If you don't contact Procore support to add the email domains of users, you cannot select the Enable Single Sign On check box.
  8. After you receive confirmation that the SSO configuration is ready, on the Single Sign On Configuration page, select the Enable Single Sign On check box.

  1. Scroll down and click Save and Send Invitation To Procore.
    You will receive an email invitation from Procore.

Configure AuthPoint

Before AuthPoint can receive authentication requests from Procore, you must add a SAML resource in AuthPoint. You must also create an authentication policy for the Procore resource to determine which users can authenticate and log in to Procore 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.

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

  1. On the SAML page, in the Name text box, type a name for this resource.
  2. From the Application Type (Integration Guide) drop-down list, select Procore.
  3. In the Service Provider Entity ID text box, type https://login.procore.com/.
  4. In the Assertion Consumer Service text box, type https://login.procore.com/saml/consume.
  5. From the User ID sent on redirection to service provider drop-down list, select Email.
  6. Leave the Logout URL text box empty.
  7. From the Signature Method drop-down list, select SHA-256.
  8. 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 Enable Single Sign On in Procore section.
  9. 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.

Screenshot that shows the Directories and Domain Services page.

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

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

Add an Authentication Policy to AuthPoint

Authentication 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 authentication policy in AuthPoint that includes the Procore resource. If you already have 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 an authentication policy:

  1. From the navigation menu, select Authentication Policies.
  2. Click Add Policy.

Screenshot of the Add Policy button on the Authentication Policies page.

  1. Type a name for this policy.
  2. From the Select the Authentication Options drop-down list, select Authentication Options and select which authentication options users can choose from when they authenticate.

    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.

  1. Select which groups this policy applies to. You can select more than one group. To configure this policy to apply to all groups, select All Groups.
  2. Select the resource that you created in the previous section. If you want this policy to apply to additional resources, select each resource this policy applies to. To configure this policy to apply to all resources, select All Resources.

Screenshot of the Add Policy page with the groups and resources selected

  1. (Optional) If you have configured policy objects such as a Network Location, select which policy objects apply to this policy. When you add a policy object to a policy, the policy only applies to user authentications that are the same as the conditions of the policy objects. 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).

    If you configure policy objects, we recommend that you create a second policy for the same groups and resources without the policy objects. The policy with the policy objects should have a higher priority.

Screenshot of the Policy Objects drop-down list.

  1. Click Save.
    Your policy is created and added to the end of the policy list.

    When you create a new policy, we recommend that you review the order of your policies. AuthPoint always adds new policies to the end of the policy list.

Screenshot of the Save button on the Add Policy page.

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 Procore, 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 https://login.procore.com.
  2. In the Email text box, type your email address.
  3. Click Continue.

Screenshot of Test Procore SSO

  1. Type your email address or AuthPoint user name. Click Next.
  2. If required, in the Password text box, type your password.
  3. For the authentication method, select Send Push.
  4. Approve the authentication request that is sent to your mobile device.
    You are logged in to the Procore.
