Configure a SAML 2.0-Compliant IdP in the Cloud Identity Engine
Learn how to configure a SAML 2.0-compliant identity provider as an authentication
type in the Cloud Identity Engine.
To use a SAML 2.0-compliant identity provider (IdP) that is not listed as an
Identity Provider Vendor
, you can configure the IdP using
the Others
- Obtain the information from your SAML 2.0-compliant IdP that you need to configure in the Cloud Identity Engine.
- Copy the following information from your IdP:
- Identity Provider ID
- Identity Provider Certificate
- Identity Provider SSO URL
- In the Cloud Identity Engine app, selectandAuthenticationSP MetadataDownload SP MetadataSavethe metadata in a secure location.
- Configure the IdP in the Cloud Identity Engine.
- SelectAuthentication Typesand clickAdd New Authentication Type.
- Set UpaSAML 2.0authentication type.
- Enter aProfile Name.
- SelectOthersas yourIdentity Provider Vendor.
- Select the method you want to use toAdd Metadata.
- If you want to enter the information manually, obtain the necessary information from your IdP then enter the information in the Cloud Identity Engine.
- Copy or download the following information from your IdP and enter it in the Cloud Identity Engine app:
- Identity Provider ID
- Identity Provider Certificate
- Identity Provider SSO URL
- Select theHTTP Binding for SSO Request to IdPmethod you want to use for the SAML binding that allows the firewall and IdP to exchange request and response messages:
- HTTP Redirect—Transmit SAML messages through URL parameters.
- HTTP Post—Transmit SAML messages using base64-encoded HTML.
- If you want to upload a metadata file, download the metadata file from your IdP management system.
- Download the metadata from your IdP.
- In the Cloud Identity Engine app, clickBrowse filesto select the metadata file thenOpenthe metadata file.
- If you want to use a URL to retrieve the metadata, copy the URL from your IdP. Enter it as theIdentity Provider Metadata URLin the Cloud Identity Engine and clickGet URLto obtain the metadata.
- If you don't want to enter the configuration information now, you canDo it later. This option allows you to submit the profile without including configuration information. However, you must edit the profile to include the configuration information to use the authentication type in an authentication profile.
- Specify theMaximum Clock Skew (seconds), which is the allowed difference in seconds between the system times of the IdP and the firewall at the moment when the firewall validates IdP messages (default is 60; range is 1–900). If the difference exceeds this value, authentication fails.
- To require users to log in using their credentials to reconnect to GlobalProtect, enableForce Authentication.
- Test SAML setupto verify the profile configuration.This step is necessary to confirm that your firewall and IdP can communicate.
- Select the SAML attributes you want the firewall to use for authentication andSubmitthe IdP profile.
- In the IdP, edit as necessary the attributes you want to use to authenticate users.
- In the Cloud Identity Engine app, select theUsername Attributeand optionally, theUsergroup Attribute,Access Domain,User Domain, andAdmin Role.
