OPSWAT MetaDefender Core - RSA Ready Implementation Guide
Solution Summary
This guide describes OPSWAT MetaDefender Core integration with RSA ID Plus using SAML 2.0. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.Use Case
OPSWAT MetaDefender Core can be integrated with RSA using My Page SSO. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to OPSWAT MetaDefender Core.
Integration Types
My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to OPSWAT MetaDefender Core users' leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. IdP-initiated SSO is supported.Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR.
Supported Features
This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with OPSWAT MetaDefender Core using each integration type.OPSWAT MetaDefender Core Integration with RSA Cloud Authentication Service

Known Issues
IdP-initiated SSO flow is supported. However, the SP-initiated SSO flow will not work due to the following issue:According to SAML standards, for the SP-initiated SAML SSO flow to work successfully, the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL configured in the RSA platform (Identity Provider) and the SAML request generated by the MetaDefender Core (Service Provider) must contain “<AssertionConsumerServiceURL>” tag with the exact same ACS URL configured in the RSA platform.
SAML validation involves cross-verifying the configured ACS URL and Entity ID with the received ACS URL & Entity ID from the SAML request.
In this case, the SAML request generated by the MetaDefender Core does not include “<AssertionConsumerServiceURL>” tag. Instead, it contains an “<AssertionConsumerServiceIndex>” tag, which causes RSA to throws an “Invalid Request” error.
