SSO Connector for Fisheye and Crowd

Managing SSO with multiple IDPs



  • If you have multiple IDPs configured, you can choose how you want your end users to use these IDPs to perform SSO.
  • For example you can show the buttons for the different IDPs configured on the login page nad let the users decide which IDP to use for SSO.
  • Or you could force certain users to use a specific IDP based on the domain of their username/email.
  • You will be able to configure these rules in the Redirection Rules section, under the Redirection Rules tab.
  • By default one rule is always configured that will be applicable to all the users, irrespective of their user domains.
  • For instance, if you want to display the login page with SSO buttons for each of the IDPs then your Default Rule will be as follows :
  • SAML Single Sign On (SSO) Connector for Crowd and Fisheye, default redirection rule
  • Based on the default rule mentioned above, the login form will contain buttons for each IDP. The users will be free to choose whichever IDP they want to use to initiate SSO.
  • SAML Single Sign On (SSO) Connector for Crowd and Fisheye, default redirection rule login page
  • You can also configure a rule so that your users will automatically be redirected to an IDP based on their email domains.
  • For example, if you want users with example.com as domain to be redirected to IDP 1 you can add a rule by :

    1. Click on the Add Rule button in the Redirection Rules tab.
    2. Enter a name for your rule in Rule Name.
    3. In the IF statement select Email Domain in the first drop-down.
    4. For the same statement select equals in the second drop-down.
    5. In the last field of the IF statement, enter the email domain(example.com for the purpose of this example)
    6. In the Then Redirect To drop-down, select the IDP you want the users with example.com to be redirected to(IDP 1 in this case).
    7. Click on Save.
    8. SAML Single Sign On (SSO) Connector for Crowd and Fisheye, example rule
  • When a rule such as an example given above is configured, a login form will be displayed to the users where they will have to input their email address.
  • SAML Single Sign On (SSO) Connector for Crowd and Fisheye, Domain mapping form

Customize your login page



  • Go to the Look and Feel tab of the plugin.
