Note: this tab only appears for SAML 2.0 authentication services.

Select the Enable SAML (SSO) Authentication check box to activate SAML authentication. If this box is not checked, you cannot use servlets mapped to this authentication service for logging into Pega 7using SAML web SSO.

Provide or manage information in the fields below.

Identity Provider (IdP) information

You can upload IdP information from a URL or a file. Click the Import IdP metadata link and select Upload Metadata via URL (and provide the URL) or Upload Metadata via File (and browse to the file to upload). Click OK to upload the information and populate the fields in the next section, or click Cancel to abandon the upload and close the form. You can manually enter the information instead of uploading it.

Note: If you choose Upload Metadata via URL and the URL points to an HTTPS endpoint, the server certificate must be present in the default truststore of the application server on which Pega 7is deployed.

Service Provider (SP) settings

Note: the system populates the first three fields below with default values. If you edit these values and later wish to recover the default values, click Reset.

Click the Download SP metadata link to download the service provider SAML metadata. Note: you must save the authentication service instance before you can download the metadata.

Advanced configuration settings

Check the Disable request signing check box to disable signing of authentication and logout requests from your application to the Identity Provider (IdP).
