# Configure IdP

In the TIBCO Platform Console, you can configure to use your Corporate IdP instead of the built-in Default IdP. This allow users to use Single Sign-On and the same Security Policies as your organization. TIBCO Platform Console acts as a Service Provider (SP) that authenticate users against your configured SAML2-compliant Identity Provider.

Before you begin

- For provider details, Entity ID URLs of the identity provider and service provider are required.
- IdP Upload Certificates to trust is the certificate service provider should trust from IdP (to ensure mutual trust has been established).

Procedure
1. Go to User Management > Configure IdP and click Configure Corporate IdP. You can also navigate Configure IdP from the Home page. Click the Configure IdP button on the Configure IdP card.
2. On the Provider Details, select the host from the dropdown list. Enter the Identity provider's entity ID and the Service provider's entity ID. Then, enter the comments (optional) and click Next.
3. On the Sign-On and Logout, provide the following details and click Next.

   Field | Description
   --- | ---
   Sign On | Enter the IdP's Single Sign-On URL. Users are redirected to this URL when they are logging in. Select the POST or Redirect Binding method for SSO requests. Select the checkbox so IdP encrypts the SAML assertion inside the signed response.
   Logout | To issue a Single Logout (SLO) call to the IdP when signing out of the TIBCO Control Plane, select the checkbox. Enter the Idp's Single Logout URL. Select the POST or Redirect Binding method for the SLO request.

4. Certificates that are mutually trusted establish the identities of the Identity Provider (IdP) and the Service Provider (SP). On the Certificates, the Service Provider Certificate is selected as Generated by Control Plane by default. Sign requests is also checked by default, which sends a signed authentication request to the IdP. You can select the signature algorithm to use from the dropdown menu.

   Upload the IdP certificates to trust. Upon uploading, you view, delete, or download the certificate. You can upload up to 3 certificates.

Note: Only certificates with `.pem` file extension are allowed to upload. For example, `okta.pem`.

By default, the Service Provider Certificate is generated from the Control Plane. Click Next.

5. On the Groups, you need to configure the groups from your IdP that are displayed in the SAML assertion. Enter the group details such as First Name, Last Name, Email, and USER ID/ Subject for SAML assertion. For example, you can add details such as manager, department, location and so on.

   Enter the group names for role-based access control (RBAC). To add a new group name, click Add New. You can specify one or more groups (max 10) from your IdP that are expected in the SAML assertion and map those values when assigning permissions. Click Submit.

ResultUpon submitting, you can view the successfully Configured Corporate IdP. Click Go to Configured IdP to see it in the Corporate IdP list. You have to download or copy the `(.json)` metadata file and upload it to your IdP server. Click OK.
