SAML, or Security Assertion Markup Language, is a protocol that allows you to use a single set of login credentials to access multiple web applications. It works by securely passing authentication information between two parties: an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (like Packet Power). This process ensures that users can log in once and gain access to various applications without needing to authenticate separately for each one.
Step 1: Obtain Packet Power's SAML Metadata
-
Visit the following link to download our SAML metadata XML file: Packet Power SAML Metadata
Step 2: Import Packet Power's Metadata into Your SAML System
-
Take the downloaded SAML metadata XML file and import it into your identity provider's SAML system. This step will enable your system to recognize and trust Packet Power as a service provider.
-
Configure your identity provider to send the email address of the authenticating user back to EMX as an attribute with the name "email" (case-sensitive).
Step 3: Provide Your Identity Provider Metadata
-
Export your identity provider's SAML metadata XML file.
-
Send the exported metadata to our support team at support@packetpower.com or through your preferred communication method.
Step 4: Configuration on Our Side
-
Once we receive your identity provider metadata, we will configure our system to recognize and enable your SSO setup.
Step 5: SAML Login Process
-
After the setup is complete, users will be able to log in using SSO.
-
The SAML login will be prompted based on the email address domain of the logging-in user. Ensure that the email domains are correctly configured and recognized by your SAML system.
