Step 2: Configure Auth0 as Identity Provider

Follow the steps below to configure Auth0 as IdP

• In the miniOrange ASP.NET SAML SSO Module, navigate to Service Provider Settings section. Here, you can find the SP metadata such as SP Entity ID and ACS (AssertionConsumerService) URL which are required to configure the Identity Provider.

• You have now successfully configured Auth0 as IDP

Step 3: Configure ASP.NET SAML Module as Service Provider

• After configuring your Identity Provider, it will provide you with IDP Entity ID, IDP Single Sign On URL and x.509 Certificate. Configure these values under IDP Entity ID, Single Sign-On Url and SAML X509 Certificate fields respectively. (Refer to the Metadata provided by Identity Provider)

Step 4: Test Configuration

• Click on the Test Configuration button to test the configuration.

Step 5: Attribute Mapping

• After testing the configuration, Map your application attributes with the Identity Provider (IdP) attributes.
• Note: All the mapped attributes will be stored in the session so that you can access them in your application.

Step 6: Integration Code

• You can also find the Integration code in the Integration Code tab in the module. Just copy-paste that code snippet wherever you want to access the user attributes.
• Note: All the mapped attributes will be stored in the session so that you can access them in your application.

Step 7: Login Settings

• Use the following URL as a link in your application from where you want to perform SSO:
• https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=login
• For example you can use it as:
• <a href="https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=login">Login</a>

Step 8: Logout Settings

• Use the following URL as a link in your application from where you want to perform SLO:
• https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=logout
• For example you can use it as:
• <a href="https://<your-application-base-url>/?ssoaction=logout">Logout</a>
