Create an identity provider (IDP) configuration

Your identity provider service needs to communicate with Akamai Cloud services to allow mechanisms like single sign-on.

To configure your IDP:

  1. Go to Manage SSO enforcement > IDP Configuration > click Edit IDP Configuration.
  2. Enter a label, then your IDP's details. You'll get this information from your IDP's metatdata.
    1. Entity ID . The unique entity identifier (issuer) of the identity provider, typically a URI.
    2. IDP URL. The identity provider's SSO login URL. Users are redirected here to authenticate.
    3. SAML Public Certificate. The public certificates from the identity provider used to verify SAML assertion signatures. At least one valid certificate is required.
  3. In the Identity Element field, select the attribute used to identify users. This setting tells the system where to find the user's email address inside the SAML response.
    1. Name ID. Select this option if the email address is passed in the standard
    2. User ID Attribute. Select this option if the email address is passed as a custom attribute within the SAML assertion. If you select this option, enter the exact attribute name your IDP uses for email addresses (e.g., email or userEmail).
  4. Click Create IDP Configuration.

Next step:
If you are completing your initial SSO setup, you should now Enforce single sign-on.
