SAML Check List

Where to Begin?

Before SSO is configured on your VALT server, there are a few things that need to be done, setup, and understood. This article aims to help you identify where you are in the process and what steps might need to be done before you configure SSO on your server!

The following list of items should be done, in order. Identifying where you are in this process is your first step.

---

☑ SSO Checklist

☐ Server racked and patched

☐ SSL certificate and NTP server installed

☐ Understanding of VALT group mappings

To configure SSO VALT needs the following information:

• Identity Provider (IDP)
• Remote Sign-In URL
• Remote Sign-Out URL
• Certificate in .cer format
• Display Name Attribute
• Any other custom attributes needed

After SSO is configured browse to https://<Server Address>/saml/metadata.xml to grab the VALT metadata to add to your system
