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.
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.
Enter Settings
- 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
Decide which user profiles will be able to access ScreenSteps Live. Make sure you check at least one profile. Then select Save.
Download Security Certificate
Download your certificate file. You will need to upload this to ScreenSteps Live.
Enable SAML Authentication
- Enable remote authentication
- Leave Disable password login unchecked right now.
- Select SAML as the mode.
- Enter the SP-initiated Redirect Endpoint url that you copied from Salesforce into the Remote login url field.
- 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
You now need to upload your Salesforce security certificate. Select Choose File.
Test Remote Auth
- Either log out of your current ScreenSteps Live session or open a different browser.
- Enter the test url and hit return.
You should be logged into ScreenSteps Live
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
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!
