User attribute mapping is used for identifying fields in the Service Provider that you want to map with those 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 to Name.

Follow the steps given below to map the fields:

  1. Go to the .../<AdeptiaInstalledFolder>AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/etc/saml folder. 
  2. Open SAMLSSOConfigure.xml file in the text editor. 
  3. Map SAML assertion attributes to Adeptia user fields in the file as shown in the following screenshot.

Where,

  • <field> is the Adeptia user field.
  • <mapped-attribute> is the SAML assertion attribute.

User must exist both in SAML and Adeptia Connect to be authenticated. For information on how to create users, refer to Creating users.

Once you have mapped the fields, next step is to create users in Adeptia Suite.
