Commvault and SAML authentication


Badge +1

Hi,

I have configured SAML authentication on the Command center and an ADFS server for a domain.
Everything works but there is one small thing i don’t get to work.
If i logon and enter the username the redirect to the ADFS servers works but, i need to enter the username a second time. Is there an option to send the username with the SAML redirect?

 @Pieter , to clarify, are you saying you enter your username, it redirects you to ADFS where you authenticate, then Command Center is making you re-enter those same credentials?

Or that you enter credentials at command center and have to re-enter at the ADFS redirect itself?

Does this behavior work the same way with your other applications using ADFS?

Sorry for the late answer.

  1. I give in my username on the command center.
  2. The command center redirects to the ADFS login page.
  3. On the ADFS page i need to re-enter the username on the login page.

    With other software like office 365 i don’t need to re-enter my username.

No problem, @Pieter !  I unmarked the Best answer accordingly.

To summarize then, we are not passing along the login attempt to the ADFS page.

Unless others have ideas, I would suggest opening a support case for this issue.  Let me know the case number so we can track and update this thread.
