Harness - SAML Relying Party Configuration - RSA Ready SecurID Access Implementation Guide
This section describes how to integrate RSA SecurID Access with Harness using Relying Party. Relying party uses SAML 2.0 to integrate RSA SecurID Access as a SAML Identity Provider (IdP) to Harness SAML Service Provider (SP).

Open Advanced Configuration section and note the Identity Provider Entity ID field . For Example :https://rsa-blr-pe.auth-demo.securid.com/saml-fe/sso
-
Click on Save and Finish
-
-
Browse to Authentication Clients > Relying Parties
-
Scroll down to the your newly created Relying party and click down error next to Edit and choose View or Download IdP MetatData This data is used below for Harness configuration.
-
Click on Publish Changes. Your application is now enabled for SSO. If you make any additional changes to the application configuration you will need to republish.
Configure Harness
Perform these steps to integrate Harness with RSA SecurID Access as a SAML SSO Agent.
Procedure
-
Sign into Harness and on left hand side browse to Security > Access Management
-
Select Authentication Settings > click on Edit
-
Enter value for Display Name
-
Note the SSO Provider URL at top of page, this will be used above for RSA Cloud Authentication Service configuration above.
-
Click on Upload a new SAML Metadata File and choose the file Metadata XML file downloaded above
