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

User Mapping

User mapping is used to map groups in the customer's system to groups within VALT

NOTE: SSO in VALT is a one to one mapping for groups

Required:

Attribute
The item that gets passed back to VALT
User Value

Other Notes

Moving from LDAP to SSO

  • If moving from LDAP to SSO you have to add a custom attribute to map to the username so the usernames will match correctly
  • To migrate current users to SSO the SQL command needs to be run on the database with the correct group ID
UPDATE users set ldap_sync_id = NULL, saml_config_id = 1, userType = 'local'  where deleted_at is null and group_id =

Custom Attributes

  • Custom Attributes can be usernames if you want to map to something specific or other information that you want to pull into VALT

Additional Settings

  • Shibboleth IDP's need the following settings specified:
signAssertions: true
signResponses: true
encryptNameIDs: true
