SAML-Compliant Identity Provider Configuration

The configuration of a SAML-Compliant Identity Provider is critical in order to ensure your ArcGIS Enterprise Environment is properly connecting to an ArcFM tenant. This is a required step in the implementation of ArcFM.

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that is used to securely exchange authentication and authorization data between an organization-specific identity provider and a service provider (in this case, your ArcGIS Enterprise organization). This approach is known as SAML Web Single Sign On.

ArcFM is compliant with SAML 2.0 and integrates with identity providers that support SAML 2 Web Single Sign On. The advantage of setting up SAML is that you do not need to create additional logins for access to your ArcGIS Enterprise organization. Users instead use their existing login credentials previously configured in an identity store. This process is referred to throughout the documentation as setting up organization-specific logins. Refer to Esri’s Configure a SAML-compliant identity provider with a portal article for full instructions.
