Configuring SAML

Before following the instructions below, have the following information on hand:

  1. In Shares, navigate to Admin > Directories.
  2. For the SAML IdP entry, click Edit.
    The Detail tab appears with the following form:

  3. Select the check box Log in using a SAML Identity Provider.
  4. Enter the SAML entry-point address provided by the IdP in the IdP Single Sign-On URL text box.
  5. Enter either the IdP Certificate Fingerprint or the IdP Certificate.
  6. Click Save to keep your changes, or Cancel to cancel your changes.

    A Shares administrator can bypass the SAML login and sign in with the regular login form by adding the local=true parameter to the login URL, for example:

    https://10.0.176.30/login?local=true
