Configuring SAML Identity Providers

This page appears when you click the Configure SAML IdP button in the the SAML IDENTITY PROVIDERS page.

In this page, first specify the Identify Provider (IdP) Name and then specify the Login URL of the IdP.

Next, if you want the SP - i.e., eG Enterprise-to initiate a SAML Single Logout (SLO), then specify the Logout URL of the IdP here. In case of an SP-initiated SLO, the initiating SP generates a digitally signed LogoutRequest SAML message and returns it to the end-user's browser. The IdP's SLO endpoint is appended with the LogoutReqest. The endpoint URL is a dedicated URL that expects to receive SLO messages from the SP. This is the URL that you should specify against Logout URL.

Then, configure the IdP Certificate. When registering eG Enterprise as an SP with the target IdP, the IdP will issue a trusted X.509 certificate for the eG manager.Copy the contents of that certificate and paste it in the IdP Certificate text box.

Next, indicate whether/not you want to set the IdP being configured as the default IdP during login. To set it as the default IdP, turn on the Set as default IdP for login? flag by choosing the Yes option. To not set it as the default IdP, turn off the Set as default IdP for login? flag by choosing the No option.

Finally, click the Update button to save the configuration.
