 Description 

A new section will be added to the SSO Configuration screen to support the ability for a client to import an Identity Providers metadata file to EAM. This will be an XML file. The goal is to automatically configure Hexagon’s federation server (Ping Federate) to connect to the customer’s IDP.

The metadata file will be used for browser based SAML authentication. It is not used for either OIDC or ws-trust.

Several new components are needed on the screen:

* A button to upload the file

** The user selects a metadata file, which is immediately uploaded.

** Although the file is uploaded immediately, the configuration change to PF will be carried out later

* A status field to indicate the status of the PF configuration change: pending, success, error

* A text area to display an error message if the PF configuration failed

A function to export the SP.xml file (SAML metadata) of the Ping Federate server after successful configuration of the customer’s IDP with Ping Federate will also be needed. The SP.xml would be used by the customers to integrate Ping Federate with their IDP

- A field to specify the file location to export to

- A button to execute the export

These features/functions will be available only when running in Hexagon’s cloud. It will not be available for on-prem or when running in Infor’s cloud.
