Configuring SAML with Salesforce.com

This tutorial will show you how to configure your ScreenSteps Live account to use SAML with your Salesforce.com organization for remote authentication.

Select Setup

Select_setup_display

Make sure you have security certificate

Your Salesforce.com will need to have a security certificate in order to use SAML. If you don't already have a security certificate, follow these instructions to generate a self-signed certificate.

Select Security Controls > Identity Provider

Select_security_controls__identity_provider_display

Select New

Select_new_display Zoom

Enter Settings

Enter_settings_display Zoom
  • Name: ScreenSteps Live
  • Entity id: ScreenSteps-Live
  • ACS URL: This should be your ScreenSteps Live account url with /saml/consume at the end. For example, if your account were acme.screenstepslive.com your ACS URL would be:

https://acme.screenstepslive.com/saml/consume

Make sure Subject Type is set to Username and select Save.

Select Provider Profile Assignment

Select_provider_profile_assignment_display Zoom

Decide which user profiles will be able to access ScreenSteps Live. Make sure you check at least one profile. Then select Save.

Copy URL

Copy_url_display Zoom
  1. Copy the SP-initiated Redirect Endpoint url to your clipboard.
  2. Select Back to List.

Download Security Certificate

Download_security_certificate_display Zoom

Download your certificate file. You will need to upload this to ScreenSteps Live.

Go to ScreenSteps Live Account > Remote Authentication

Go_to_screensteps_live_account__remote_authentication_display

Enable SAML Authentication

Enable_saml_authentication_display Zoom
  1. Enable remote authentication
  2. Leave Disable password login unchecked right now.
  3. Select SAML as the mode.
  4. Enter the SP-initiated Redirect Endpoint url that you copied from Salesforce into the Remote login url field.
  5. Enter a log out url. This is the page users will be taken to when they log out of ScreenSteps Live. This can be anything you want or you can leave it blank.

Upload Certificate File

Upload_certificate_file_display Zoom

You now need to upload your Salesforce security certificate. Select Choose File.

Select File

Select_file_display Zoom

Select the certificate that you downloaded from Salesforce.com.

Save Settings

Save_settings_display Zoom
  1. Copy the SAML Test URL.
  2. Save your settings.

Test Remote Auth

Test_remote_auth_display Zoom
  1. Either log out of your current ScreenSteps Live session or open a different browser.
  2. Enter the test url and hit return.

Login to Salesforce

Login_to_salesforce_display

You should be logged into ScreenSteps Live

You_should_be_logged_into_screensteps_live_display Zoom

You should automatically be logged into ScreenSteps Live. If not then something is probably wrong with your settings. Check this tutorial again or contact us for help.

If you have accidentally locked yourself out of your account then see how to get back in here.

Disable Password Login

Disable_password_login_display Zoom

Now that SAML is all set up you may want to require all users to authenticate with SAML. To do that simply check the box Disable password login. Be sure to save your settings.

That's it!
