Set up a Duo connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance for Duo. Integrate your Duo instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

Availability

This connector uses the Duo Admin API, which is available to users on the Duo Premier, Advantage, and Essentials plans.

Gather Duo credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Duo. Gather these credentials before you move on.

A user with the Owner role in Duo must perform this task.

Log into the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Applications.
Click Protect an Application and locate the entry for Admin API in the applications list.
Click Protect.
In the Permissions section, grant the following:
- Grant administrators
- Grant read information
- Grant applications
- Grant settings
- Grant read resource
Click Save changes. Scroll to the Details section, where the integration key, secret key, and API hostname are shown, and carefully copy and save these credentials.

That’s it! Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the Duo connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:
The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
Access to the set of Duo credentials generated by following the instructions above

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by ConductorOne.

In ConductorOne, navigate to Admin > Connectors and click Add connector.
Search for Duo and click Add.
Choose how to set up the new Duo connector:
- Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
- Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
- Create a new managed app
Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
Click Next.
Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.
Enter the credentials into the Integration key, Secret key, and API hostname fields.
Click Save.
The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Duo connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Follow these instructions to use the Duo connector, hosted and run in your own environment.

When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with ConductorOne, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the ConductorOne UI for access reviews and access requests.

Step 1: Set up a new Duo connector

In ConductorOne, navigate to Connectors > Add connector.
Search for Baton and click Add.
Choose how to set up the new Duo connector:
- Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
- Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
- Create a new managed app
Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
Click Next.
In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.
Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.
Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Duo connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-duo-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-duo-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # ConductorOne credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <ConductorOne client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <ConductorOne client secret>
  
  # Duo credentials
  BATON_API_HOSTNAME: <Duo API hostname>
  BATON_INTEGRATION_KEY: <Duo integration key>
  BATON_SECRET_KEY: <Duo secret key>

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-duo.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-duo
  labels:
    app: baton-duo
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-duo
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-duo
        baton: true
        baton-app: duo
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-duo
        image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-duo:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-duo-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

Create a namespace in which to run ConductorOne connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.
Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In ConductorOne, click Applications. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Duo connector to. Duo data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

That’s it! Your Duo connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
