ADFS

ServiceOps offers support for SAML 2.0, which facilitates integration for Single Sign-On. ServiceOps acts as the Service Provider (SP) and it integrates with Identity Providers (IdP) using SAML 2.0. The integration basically involves supplying details about SP to IdP and vice-versa. ​Once you integrate ServiceOps with an IdP, the users simply have to sign-in to IdP and then, they can automatically sign-in to ServiceOps from the respective identity provider’s GUI without having to provide credentials again. ​ServiceOps supports integration with ADFS.

To configure SSO with the ADFS service, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Sign-in to the ServiceOps portal as a Technician.

Step 2: Navigate to Settings > Admin > Organization > System Preference > Application Settings tab. Verify that the Base URL is the same as the portal URL. If it has the default IP Address, update it.

Step 3: Navigate to Settings > Admin > Users > SSO Configuration > Identity Providers and click Add Identity Provider. The following popup appears.

Step 4: Provide the following details. In this, the IDP details of the ADFS server are to be configured in the ServiceOps while the SP details in the ADFS.

Parameter	Description
Name	Enter the name of the identity provider.
Primary	Enable if you want to set this provider as the primary SSO.
Auto Create User	Enable if the user is to be created automatically, if not available in the system. By default, disabled.
IDP Entity ID	Enter the Entity ID of the IDP from the AD FS server. It is a mandatory field. You can get these details from the AD FS server.
IDP Login URL	Enter the login URL of the IDP on which the user will get redirected. It is a mandatory field. You can get this from the AD FS server.
IDP Logout URL	Enter the logout URL of the IDP on which the user will be redirected once signing-out from the ServiceOps portal. If not provided, the user will remain on the same page. This field is optional.
IDP Security Certificate	Enter the certificate that IDP provides for integration. The response sent by the IDP is validated using it.
SP Entity ID	It displays the entity ID of the Service Provider. You have to configure this in the AD FS server.
Assertion Consumer URL	It displays the endpoint of the ServiceOps application where the IDP posts the SAML responses. You have to configure this in the AD FS server.

SP Public Key	It is provided by the Service Provider.

Using this, whenever the values of the mapped fields are changed in the respective provider, they will automatically get updated in ServiceOps. Note: Field Mapping is unsupported for Multi-Select Drop Down, Checkbox, Date Field, and Dependent (Custom Type) field types.

Step 5: Click Add, and the provider will be displayed on the list page.
