Field Description
SAML Provider This field displays the name of the SAML Provider.
Type This field displays the provider type. Possible values are:
  • Active Directory (AD)
  • SAML (ADFS)
  • SAML (AZURE)
  • SAML (Other)
AD Domain This is your company's SAML IdP (Windows Active Directory) domain. It is used as a hint only to build the SAML user logon name during SAML IdP initiated sign-in. The system concatenates the AD Domain value with the Active Directory ID entered on the Manage Users screen. For example, if the Active Directory ID from the Manage Users configuration is john.smith and the AD Domain is us.mycompany.com, the system will use john.smith@us.mycompany.com as a default value for the SAML user account logon name on the SAML IdP login page.
Note: A user can always modify the SAML user account logon name before signing in to SAML IdP.

If the users authenticate from multiple SAML IdP domains, you can leave the AD Domain field blank and enter the fully qualified user logon name for Active Directory ID on the Manage Users screen for each user (for example, john.smith@us.mycompany.com, not just john.smith).

IdP Federation Metadata URL

This field is applicable for AD FS, Azure, and SAML (Other) providers only. This is your SAML IdP FederationMetadata XML.

SP Entity ID (URL) The value is defaulted by Enterprise App External URL in the Configuration Utility. You can change this value to use another identifier for the SP Entity ID (URL). The value must conform to URL syntax and start with either http or https protocol. For example:
  • https://my_adfs_test_system1
  • https://costpoint_system_prod
  • https://costpoint_system_dev

The value is case-sensitive. It must match exactly (including the case) to the Relying party trust identifier in AD FS.

SP Federation Metadata XML File Location This field displays the Costpoint Alternate File Location where you want to generate the Costpoint_SP_FederationMetadata.xml file. If this field is blank, the Costpoint_SP_FederationMetadata.xml file will be generated in the database.
Generate File Click this button to generate the SP Federation Metadata XML file in the specified file location or in the database.
