This article describes how to integrate RSA with BigID using SAML Relying Party.

Configure RSA Cloud Authentication Service

Perform these steps to configure RSA Cloud Authentication Service as Relying Party to BigID.
Procedure
  1. Sign in to the RSA Cloud Administration Console.
  2. Navigate to the Authentication Clients menu and select Relying Parties.image.png
  3. In the Relying Party Catalog, select Add a Relying Party and click Add for Service Provider SAML.image.png
  4. On the Basic Information page, enter a name for the application in the Name field and click Next Step.image.png
  5. In the Authentication tab, select SecurID manages all authentication .
  6. Select the Primary Authentication Method and Access Policy for Additional Authentication as required and click Next Step.image.png
  7. Provide the Service Provider details in the following format: 
    1. Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL: https://<your tenant id>. Mybigid.com/api/v1/saml/login/callback.
    2. Service Provider Entity ID: <BigId Entity ID>
Note: A Unique Tenant ID will be provided for your instance from BigID.

Refer to the Notes section for instructions to obtain Entity ID.
  1. In the SAML Response Protection section, select IdP signs assertion within response.
  2. Download the certificate by clicking Download Certificate.image.png
  3. Under the User Identity section, select Show Advanced Configuration, then configure Identifier Type and Property as follows:
    1. Identifier Type: Auto Detect
    2. Property: Auto Detect

Note: Refer BigID configuration section for mapping the attributes.
  1. Click Save and Finish.
  2. On the My Relying Parties page, click Edit dropdown and select Metadata option to download the metadata.image.png
  3. Click Publish Changes to save your settings. After publishing, your application will be enabled for SSO.image.pngimage.png

Notes:

  • Entity ID can be found under SAML Settings in BigID platform.image.png
  • RSA Platform users must be part of a Group Membership that matches the SAML values specified in the BigID configuration (see the BigID configuration section).image.png

Configure BigID

Perform these steps to configure BigID.
Procedure
  1. Log in to BigID with admin credentials.
  2. Click on Settings and select Access Management.image.png
  3. Click the IdP tab and check the Enabled box under SAML Settings.image.png
  4. Provide the following details:
    1. Entity ID – Enter unique Name or ID.
    2. Select Upload XML and click Select File or Drop and upload the metadata file downloaded from the RSA platform.
    3. Click on TEST CONNECTION to test the configuration.
