| Field | Description | Sample value |
|---|
| Issuer | Specify the Issuer. This is the <saml:Issuer> element that contains the unique identifier of the service provider. This is also the issuer value specified in the SAML Authentication Request issued by the service provider. When configuring single-sign-on across Carbon servers, ensure that this value is equal to the ServiceProviderID value mentioned in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/security/authenticators.xml file of the relying party Carbon server. | travelocity.com |
| Assertion Consumer URLs | Specify the Assertion Consumer URLs. This is the URL to which the browser should be redirected to after the authentication is successful. This is the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL of the service provider. The identity provider redirects the SAML2 response to this ACS URL. However, if the SAML2 request is signed and SAML2 request contains the ACS URL, the Identity Server will honor the ACS URL of the SAML2 request. It should have this format: https://(host-name):(port)/acs. You can add multiple assertion consumer URLs for the service provider by entering the URL and clicking the Add button. | http://wso2is.local:8080/travelocity.com/home.jsp |
| Default Assertion Consumer URL | Since there can be multiple assertion consumer URLs, you must define a Default Assertion Consumer URL in case you are unable to retrieve it from the authentication request. | Tip |
|---|
Tip: In a service provider initiated single sign-on setup, the following needs to be considered. - If no ACS URL is given in the <
AuthnRequest>, the Identity Server sends the response to the default ACS URL of the service provider (whether the request is signed or not). - If the ACS URL in <
AuthnRequest> matches with one of the registered URLs, the Identity Server sends the response to the matched one. - If the ACS URL in <
AuthnRequest> does not match any of the registered ACS URLs and if the request is signed, the Identity Server sends the response to the ACS URL in the request only if the signature is valid. Alternatively, the <AuthnRequest> is rejected.
In an identity provider initiated single sign-on setup, the following needs to be considered. - If the “acs” query parameter is not present in the request, the Identity Server sends the response to default ACS URL of the service provider.
- If the "acs” parameter is present and the value of that parameter matches with any of the registered ACS URLs of the service provider, then the Identity Server sends the response to the matched one.

| NameID format | Specify the NameID format. This defines the name identifier formats supported by the identity provider. The service provider and identity provider usually communicate with each other regarding a specific subject. That subject should be identified through a Name-Identifier (NameID) , which should be in some format so that It is easy for the other party to identify it based on the format. Name identifiers are used to provide information regarding a user. | Info |

| For SSO interactions, you can use the following types of NameID formats. urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistenturn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transienturn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddressurn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecifiedurn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:X509SubjectNameurn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:WindowsDomainQualifiedNameurn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:kerberosurn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:entity
This specifies the name identifier format that the Identity Server wants to receive in the subject of an assertion from a particular identity provider. The following is the default format used by the identity provider. urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress

| urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress |
| Certificate Alias | Select the Certificate Alias from thedropdown. This is used to validate the signature of SAML2 requests and is used to generate encryption.Basically the service provider’s certificate must be selected here. Note that this can also be the Identity Server tenant's public certificate in a scenario where you are doing atenant specific configuration. | wso2carbon |
| Response Signing Algorithm | Specifies the ‘SignatureMethod’ algorithm to be used in the ‘Signature’ element in POST binding. The default value can be configured in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity.xml file, in the SSOService element with SAMLDefaultSigningAlgorithmURI tag. If it is not provided the default algorithm is RSASHA 1, at URI http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsasha1‘’. | http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsasha1 |
| Response Digest Algorithm | Specifies the ‘DigestMethod’ algorithm to be used in the ‘Signature’ element in POST binding. The default value can be configured in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity.xml file, in the SSOService element with SAMLDefaultDigestAlgorithmURI tag. If it is not provided the default algorithm is SHA 1, at URI ‘ http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1’. | http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1 |
| Enable Response Signing | Select Enable Response Signing to sign the SAML2 Responses returned after the authentication process. | Selected |
| Enable SignatureValidation inAuthentication Requests and Logout Requests | Select Enable Signature Validation in Authentication Requests and Logout Requests if you need this functionality configured. This specifies whether the identity provider must validate the signature of the SAML2 authentication request and the SAML2 logout request thatare sent by the service provider. | Unselected |
| Enable Assertion Encryption | Enable Assertion Encryption, if you wish to encrypt the assertion. | Unselected |
| Enable Single Logout | Select Enable Single Logout so that all sessions are terminated once the user signs out from one server. If single logout is enabled, the identity provider sends logout requests to all service providers. Basically, the identity provider acts according to the single logout profile. If the service provider supports a different URL for logout, you can enter a SLO Response URL and SLO Request URL for logging out. These URLs indicate where the request and response should go to. If you do not specify this URL, the identity provider uses the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL. | Warning |

To configure thisSAML Back-Channel Logout and SAML Front-Channel Logout described below, apply the 3904 WUM update to WSO2 IS 5.3.0 using the WSO2 Update Manager (WUM). To deploy a WUM update into production, you need to have a paid subscription. If you do not have a paid subscription, you can use this feature with the next version of WSO2 Identity Server when it is released. For more information on updating WSO2 Identity Server using WUM, see Getting Started with WUM in the WSO2 Administration Guide. |
WSO2 Identity Server supports both SAML Back-Channel Logout and SAML Front-Channel Logout methods. By default, when you select Enable Single Logout the Back-Channel Logout is enabled. In order to enable SAML Front-Channel Logout, you can either select Front-Channel Logout (HTTP Redirect Binding) or Front-Channel Logout (HTTP POST Binding). | Selected |
| Enable Attribute Profile | Select Enable Attribute Profile to enable this and add a claim by entering the claim link and clicking the Add Claim button. The Identity Server provides support for a basic attribute profile where the identity provider can include the user’s attributes in the SAML Assertions as part of the attribute statement. Once you select the checkbox to Include Attributes in the Response Always, the identity provider always includes the attribute values related to the selected claims in the SAML attribute statement. | Unselected |
| Enable Audience Restriction | Select Enable Audience Restriction to restrict the audience. You may add audience members using the Audience text box and clicking the Add button. | Unselected |
| Enable Recipient Validation | Select this if you require validation from the recipient of the response. | Unselected |
| Enable IdP Initiated SSO | Select the Enable IdP Initiated SSO checkbox to enable this functionality. When this is enabled, the service provider is not required to send the SAML2 request. | Unselected |
| Enable IdP Initiated SLO | Select the Enable IdP Initiated SLO checkbox to enable this functionality. You must specify the URL. | Unselected |
| Enable Assertion Query Request Profile | Select the Enable Assertion Query Request Profile checkboxto query assertions that are persisted to the database when you loginto the service provider application. For more information, see Querying SAML Assertions. | Unselected |
