Setting up the platform as an identity provider

1. To configure your SP in the Identity Service identity provider (IDP), contact the platform support team and provide the following information:

   • The service provider XML metadata

   • Optional: The following user attribute names that the service provider (SP) requires in the SAML assertion. If you do not provide user attribute names, default values are used.

     User attribute name	SAML response attribute description	Default value
     FirstName	The user's first name	firstName
     LastName	The user’s last name	lastName
     EmailAddress	The user’s email address	email

2. When the platform support team supplies your IDP metadata, configure it in your service provider.

3. Optional: To synchronize user information between multiple systems for automated provisioning and deprovisioning with the SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) protocol, provide the following information to the platform support team to register SCIM information in the Identity Service. For more information on SCIM, see SCIM protocol information synchronization.
