Manually configuring your SAML 2.0 identity provider

Once you've set up Polaris for use with your SAML 2.0 identity provider, you'll need to configure your identity provider for use with Replicon.

In most cases, you should only need your metadata xml file to set up your identity provider. If you need to manually configure your identity provider (that is, it requires SSO and SLO URLs, and a certificate), you can find or derive the required data from your metadata xml file. See below for details.

Talk to your identity provider if you need help with setup. We provide an example of configuring ADFS 2.0 to work with SAML 2.0 functionality in Polaris, for those using ADFS 2.0.
