Configuring NameID during SAML SSO

Not every cloud application uses email address for user account mapping during SAML SSO. You can accomplish this by adjusting the User Details.

  • For flexibility, the IAM > Users and Groups and select the user to open the User Details Dialog. This dialog contains multiple attribute fields that can be populated manually or auto-populated via SAML or Active Directory Sync*.
    • These fields include Netbios\SAM, SAM, UPN, ObjectGuid, as well as two Custom Attributes that can be manually configured.
      • *Active Directory Sync can populate all of the fields except for the Custom Attributes.
  • The attribute fields can be passed as the NameID claim during SAML SSO in situations where an email address is not sufficient or desired by the cloud app.
    • The selected SAML NameID attribute is pulled from the associated User Details field and sent in the SAML Response from Forcepoint ONE SSE to the cloud app.
  • Navigate to the IAM > Users and Groups and select the user to open the User Details Dialog. In the User Details Dialog you will notice the Custom Attribute fields.
