Hello team,
Im trying to integrate with MFA solution called NETiq from Microfoucs.
 

I have checked the documentation for adding saml app
My question is where i should get the idp file ? 
My understanding is the mfa should provide the idp then i upload it then i will generate the sp file right??
 

Appreciate if someone can give me a clear steps for the configuration.

Thanks

Hello @Mansour_Nour 

Thanks for the great question!

The following goes over how to add a SAML Application into your environment:
https://docs.metallic.io/metallic/adding_saml_application.html

It also has a break down of IdP ( identity provider ) and SP ( Service Provider ) and states the following:
 

  • The IdP metadata XML file contains the IdP certificate, the entity ID, the redirect URL, and the logout URL. For an example, see saml_idp_metadata.xml.

  • The SP metadata XML file contains the SP certificate, the entity ID, the Assertion Consumer Service URL (ACS URL), and a log out URL (SingleLogoutService). For an example, see saml_sp_metadata.xml.


Before You Begin

  • Create or get an IdP metadata XML file using the SAML protocol. For SAML metadata specifications, go to the Oasis website, Metadata for the OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) V2.0.

    For an example, see saml_idp_metadata.xml.


Looking around on google i found this site, i have not used it but it looks like it will allow you to create both IDP and SP. https://www.samltool.com/idp_metadata.php

Please advise if this helps and answers your questions!

Kind regards
