Introduction:
The Single Sign-On (SSO) SAML feature is now available for Testlify customers, providing a seamless and secure way to log in to the platform. This feature allows users to authenticate using their identity provider, making the login process more streamlined and efficient. This article will guide you through setting up and using the SSO SAML login feature for your Testlify workspace.
Step 1: Enabling SSO SAML Login in Your Workspace
Log in to your Testlify account and navigate to the Workspace Settings.
Locate the Enable SSO SAML Login button and click on it.
Step 2: Adding an Identity Provider
Add Identity Provider:
Click on the Add Identity Provider button.
Enter a unique Team Slug (a user-defined value) that will be used for login purposes.
SSO Login URL:
Provide the login URL from your identity provider.
For example, if you are using a service like
mock.samlas your identity provider, use its login URL here.
Public Certificate:
Paste the public certificate provided by your identity provider.
This certificate is a unique string that enables secure communication between the identity provider and Testlify.
Click Save to complete the setup.
Step 3: Accessing Service Provider Details
Once the identity provider is added, Testlify will generate two important URLs:
Service Provider (Consumer Service) URL:
This is the endpoint where your identity provider will make API calls with user data to authenticate users on Testlify.
Entity URL:
This URL serves as the audience for the platform during the authentication process.
Keep these URLs handy, as they will be required during configuration on your identity provider's dashboard.
Step 4: Logging in Using SSO SAML
Log out of your Testlify account and click on the Sign in with SAML option.
Enter your Team Slug and proceed.
You will be redirected to your identity provider's login page.
On the identity provider's page:
Enter the Consumer Service URL (Service Provider URL) provided by Testlify.
Fill in the user credentials as required by your identity provider.
Upon successful authentication, the identity provider will make a POST API call to Testlify, signing you into the platform.
Additional Features and Options
