Configure Control Room as a service provider

A valid SAML IdP setup must be configured before the Control Room can be switched to a SAML-authentication environment.

Prerequisites

This task is performed by a network administrator on SAML IdP. You must have the necessary privileges to complete this configuration.

Create a user in Active Directory to match one of your Control Room Admin users. This user tests the Control Room configuration as the last step in the configuration. We recommend that you do not test SAML login with a non-Admin Control Room user access, or you risk having a Control Room that has no Admin user.

Complete the necessary network-side preparations to switch the Control Room to act as the service provider in the SAML IDP setup.

Procedure
