System Settings to Support SSO - ADFS

To set up SSO with ADFS for File Access Manager, follow the task checklist below, followed by a detailed description of each step:

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.

Detailed Settings

  2. Select the Active Directory identity collector created above (or the one used during the initial setup) as the current authentication store.

  4. Open the website and select Continue with username and password.
  5. Log in to the system with the wbxadmin username and the password entered during installation.
  6. Select Login.

  9. On the website, select SAML login.

  11. After logging in, you should be successfully logged into File Access Manager as the ADFS user.
