Configure SAML integration

The SAML page lets you add and configure security assertion markup language (SAML).

Make sure that you have defined a new application in your identity provider (IdP). This should consist of:

The assertion consumer service (ACS) uniform resource locator (URL) for Nozomi Networks. An ACS specifies the /auth path such as https://10.0.1.10/saml/auth
The issuer URL for your IdP, which specifies the /saml/metadata path, such as /saml/metadata. This value depends on your IdP
The metadata eXtensible Markup Language (XML) file that describes the security assertion markup language (SAML) parameters of your IdP. Before configuring your Guardian, download the file from your IdP vendor and save it to a location accessible to Nozomi Networks.

In the top navigation bar, select
The administration page opens.
In the Settings section, select Users.
The Users management page opens.
In the top right section, select SAML.
The SAML page opens.
In the Nozomi URL field, enter the URL for your Nozomi Networks instance.
In the SAML role attribute key field, enter a string that will be used to map role names between Guardian and your IdP.

Note: The value in this field is used to compare groups defined in Guardian with those defined in your IdP. The nature of this value depends on your IdP. (For example, if you are using Microsoft Office 365 as your IdP, the value might be http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/role
Select Save.
On the Guardian login page, select Single Sign On.
To test the integration, use the credentials from your IdP.

Note: For SAML to work properly, groups that match SAML roles must exist in the system. Groups are found using the role name. For example, if the SAML role attribute specifies an Operator role, the IdP looks for the Operator group when authorizing an authenticating user.

SAML has been configured, and the login page shows a new Single Sign On button.
