Registering an Application at an Identity Provider to use SAML Web Profile

Before users can log into an application using their Identity Provider (IdP)-issued credentials, the application must be registered with the IdP.

When using SAML Web Profile with ActiveMatrix BPM, you must register the following application with the IdP:

http://host:port/openspace/sso/bpmssoapp.html 
			 

where host is the DNS name or IP address of the server that hosts the ActiveMatrix BPM runtime, and port is the port used by the application.

The application that is registered with the IdP must match the value specified in the Authentication Successful URL field in the SAML Web Profile shared resource (see Using ActiveMatrix Administrator to Create a SAML Web Profile Shared Resource).

Upon registering the application, the IdP generates a metadata file, which is stored locally. The URL to the locally stored metadata file is specified in the IDP Metadata URL field in the SAML Web Profile configuration.

Each IdP has its own procedures for registering an application for SAML Web Profile authentication. For information about registering an application with Google, see Set up your own custom SAML application.
