User attribute mapping is used to identify for identifying fields in the Service Provider that you want to map from with those fields in the IdP server by synchronizing them on login. It compares the values in the SAML response in case-insensitive manner.

You can map any user field to any arbitrary SAML attribute. For example, you can map the user’s username as a Name. To map the fields:

Go to the …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc\saml folder

.

 
  • Open SAMLSSOConfiguration.xml file in the text editor. 
  • Map

    Mapping SAML assertion attributes to Adeptia user fields

    can be preformed by using environment variables. You need to create the following environment variables to do this mapping. 

    Tip
    For more information on how to create an environment variable on Windows or Linux, refer to this page.

    <field> is the Adeptia user field and,

    <mapped-attribute> is the SAML assertion attribute.

    For example, here entity name of the Adeptia user field is mapped with the first name of SAML assertion attribute.

    • You must define the ignoreCase attribute for each individual fields. This means that you can now define each field as case-sensitive or case-insensitive based on your requirement.
    • By default, ignoreCase attribute is not defined for any field. This means that the case will be ignored while doing the comparison.

    to false.


    If you want to create another mapping, you need to use the number in incremental fashion. You will be using number 1 (one) in the variable name for the next mapping, for example, SAML_SSO_MAPPINGS_1_NAME.


    Once you've mapped the fields successfully, next step is to create users in Adeptia Connect.

    Info
    It is mandatory The user must exist both in SAML and Adeptia Connect. For information on how to create users, refer to Creating users.
