How to Use This Platform
First, identify whether you want SAML BOX (this platform) to be either IDP or SP.
Next, in order for your app to trust SAML BOX, you will need to import the SAML BOX metadata to your application. You can get them from below:
- SAML BOX SP Metadata - When this platform acts as SP.
- SAML BOX IDP Metadata - When this platform acts as IDP.
After that, you need to upload your app's metadata to this platform.
- If you want this platform to be an SP, 'Upload Your IDP Metadata' above.
- If you want this platform to be IDP, 'Upload Your SP Metadata' above.
Once your metadata has been uploaded and validated, you will come to a landing page where you have a list of SAML actions available. Copy and save the URL.
Then, you can adjust settings for the SAML SSO and start testing the login flow.
You can also view server logs for troubleshooting:
A Shared Platform
This platform is open and shared. SAML Entity information uploaded is identified by its Entity ID. Hence, to avoid being overwritten by others, best practice is to choose a unique SAML Entity ID when uploading metadata.
