Manage SSO Settings

This page will show If Single-Sign-On (SSO) has been enabled for your organization, And you have been granted access to Manage SSO Settings as an Admin.

These parameters provide the ability for an organization to setup the Single Sign-On options for their own organization, without needing to rely on SkillsTX.

These settings are ONLY for identity SSO/Identity Management experts NOT for general administrators.

It's important to note that the specific steps and configurations may vary depending on the the IDP being used, and any additional security requirements you have. Many modern applications leverage standards like SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) or OAuth/OpenID Connect to facilitate the SSO process with Active Directory.

SSO SAML Claim Email Address

Required to use the Login with SkillsTX

A "claim" is a piece of information about a user that is provided by the Identity Provider (IDP) to the Service Provider (SP) during the authentication process.

In the case of the "Email Address" claim, it means that the IDP will include the user's email address as part of the SAML assertion sent to the SP. The SAML assertion is a digitally signed XML document that contains information about the user's identity and other relevant details.

The "federationmetadata.xml" is an XML file that contains metadata information about an Identity Provider (IDP) or a Service Provider (SP) in the context of federated identity management and Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) or WS-Federation protocols.
