Single Sign-On
How to setup single sign-on for their employees to access TSANet Connect
TSANet Connect supports the SAML 2.0 standard and includes both single sign-on and just in time user provisioning. To configure and test single sign-on Members should contact TSANet to start the process. This document can be used as a template for what is needed to configure your single sign-on to any SAML 2.0 compliant identity management system such as Workspace One, One Login, Active Directory etc.
SAML 2.0 Overview
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows identity providers (Your user management system) to pass authorization credentials to service providers (The TSANet Connect System). SAML allows your users to use a single login/password to access many systems.
Configuring your identity Management System
This document does not include details on how to configure your identity management systems. The Configuring TSANet Connect section below should give your IT organization the information necessary to configure your identity management system. The TSANet Connect implementation is SAML 2.0 compliant and should work with any identity management system. TSANet staff will setup a short call with your IT team to do the configuration and test.
Configuring TSANet Connect
During the conference call TSANet staff and your IT admin will configure the SAML connection. The following information will be provided by your IT admin

Federation URL: The IDL Federation URL. This information is also found in the metadata file above
Logout URL: The logout URL. This information is also found in the metadata file above
TSANet Staff will then provide the Service Provider URL that provides a link to the TSANet Connect Metadata file.
TSANet Staff will also modify the members login page with the following information
Login Section: Text can be added to help guide users
Register Section: Text can be added to guide users who have problem with accessing the system.
