Identify the SP, IdP, and Other General Settings

You must identify the Service Provider and the Identity Provider. The IdP ID identifies the Issuer of the assertion. The SP ID is used to accept the AuthnRequest when it is sent from the Service Provider.

To configure general settings

  1. Select the General tab on the SAML Service Providers dialog box.

    Configure the following fields:

    The values for the SP ID and IdP ID must match the values at the Service Provider.

  2. In the D-Sign Info box, check the Disable Signature Processing checkbox.

    Important! Disabling signing is intended only for debugging the initial single sign-on configuration. In a production environment, signature processing is a mandatory security requirement; you must enable it.

  3. Keep the SAML Service Provider Properties dialog open and Configure POST Single Sign-on at the IdP.
