Requirements to use a self-hosted ADFS server and SAML 2.0 to authenticate users in Risk Cloud
Risk Cloud Single Sign On with Active Directory
Risk Cloud supports single sign-on (SSO) through the SAML 2.0 standard. SAML 2.0 is an XML-based protocol that uses security tokens that contain assertions to pass information about a user between a SAML identity provider (your organization) and a SAML service provider (Risk Cloud). To use SAML SSO integration with LogicGate, you must have a SAML 2.0 compatible identity provider (IDP) server for authenticating Risk Cloud users.
A SAML 2.0 IDP can take many forms, one of which is a self-hosted Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) server. ADFS is a service provided by Microsoft as a standard role for Windows Server that provides a web login using existing Active Directory credentials.
Requirements
To use ADFS to log in to your Risk Cloud instance, you need the following components:
-
An Active Directory instance where all users have an email address attribute.
-
A server running Microsoft Server 2012 or 2008 with ADFS.
-
A Risk Cloud instance with SSO enabled.
To set up SSO with AD, view our 'Enabling Single-Sign On' help article.
