Configure RSA Cloud Authentication Service

Perform these steps to configure RSA Cloud Authentication Service as a relying party SAML IdP to Blocks Edit .

Procedure

1. Sign into the RSA Cloud Administration Console and browse to Authentication Clients > Relying Parties and click Add a Relying Party.

2. Click on +Add for Service Provider SAML.

1. On Basic Information page enter a Name for the application, ie. Blocks Edit Then click on Next Step.

2. On Authentication page.

   2. Enter the Service Provider Entity ID with the Entity ID from the Blocks Edit configuration. For example, https://sso.blocksedit.com.

   3. Under Audience for SAML Response ensure Default is selected.

   4. Under Message Protection click on the Download Certificate. The certificate will be used in the Blocks Edit configuration below.

   5. Uncheck the SP signs SAML requests.

   6. For IdP signs ensure Assertion within Response is selected.

   7. Open Advanced Configuration section

   8. Under Attribute extension

   9. Add Attribute Name = firstName and Property = givenName.

   10. Add Attribute Name = lastName and Property = sn.

   11. Note the Identity Provider Entity ID field . For Example :https://rsa-blr-pe.auth-demo.securid.com/saml-fe/sso.

   12. Click on Save and Finish.

   

    

4. Browse to Authentication Clients > Relying Parties Next to the Blocks Edit configuration select View or Download IdP Metadata from the Edit button. The metadata file may be used in the Blocks Edit configuration below.

5. 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 Blocks Edit
