Task Checklist:
- Admin client: Create an Active Directory identity collector.
- Admin client: Select this identity store as the authentication store.
- Website: Log in using the wbxadmin credentials and run the Identity collector task that was recently selected as the authentication store. This will load the ADFS users into the database.
- Website: Select SAML login and sign in to the relevant SSO Provider.
- You should now be logged into File Access Manager as the SSO provider user.
