This topic will walk you through how to set up an ADFS SSO/SAML Integration. This includes how to set up ADFS in Ironclad and create a claim rule.

Requirements

To use ADFS to log in to your Ironclad instance, you must have the following components:

  • An Active Directory instance where all users have an email address attribute (first name, last name, and title is recommended)
  • An IdP configuration XML to upload into Ironclad. This automatically fills out the Single Sign-On Service and SAML metadata XML file that are required.
