About SAML Single Sign-On in ZPM
Single Sign-On can be setup in ZPM against any Identity Provider (IdP) which supports SAML 2.0.
This guide covers the steps required to setup SAML SSO against Okta, Azure AD & ADFS IdP’s.
For an exhaustive list of supported IDP’s, visit SAML-based products and services.
Provide ZPM Service Provider (SP) Metadata to your Identity Provider (IdP)
Export the SP Metadata to provide to your IdP.
Alternatively, you can provide the URL to the hosted metadata.xml file to your IdP.
https://<ZPM-FQDN>:8443/saml/medatada
Adding ZPM as a Service Provider (SP) in OKTA using URL to the hosted metadata.xml file:
Open the ZPM SP Metadata file you exported in the previous step to get the information required for configuring the required SAML settings in OKTA
Fill in the Single sign on URL and Audience URI (SP Entity ID) fields in OKTA by searching your ZPM SP Metadata file for the values in red below:
Copy the entityID value from the ZPM SP metadata to the Single sign on URL field in OKTA.
In this example the value is https://stack8-demo.smacs.stack8.com:443/saml/SSO
Copy the </md:NameIDFormat><md:AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" Location= value from the ZPM SP metadata to the Audience URI (SP Entity ID) field in OKTA.
In this example the value is https://stack8-demo.smacs.stack8.com:443/saml/metadata
Adding ZPM as a Service Provider (SP) in ADFS using metadata.xml file:
