6. Attribute Mapping
Attributes are user details that are stored in your Identity Provider.
Attribute Mapping helps you to get user attributes from your IdP and map
them to DotNetNuke user attributes like firstname, lastname etc.
While auto registering the users in your DotNetNuke site these attributes
will automatically get mapped to your DotNetNuke user details.
Go to
DNNSAMLSSO Settings >> Advanced settings >> Attribute
Mapping.
7. Role mapping (It is Optional to fill this)
DotNetNuke uses a concept of Roles, designed to give the site owner the
ability to control what users can and cannot do within the site.
DotNetNuke has five pre-defined roles: Administrators, Subscribers,
Registered Users, Translator (en-US) and Unverified Users.
Role mapping helps you to assign specific roles to users of a certain group
in your IdP.
While auto registering, the users are assigned roles based on the group they
are mapped to.
You can even configure the
ASP.NET SAML Single Sign-On (SSO)
module with any identity provider such as
ADFS, Azure AD, Bitium, centrify, G Suite, JBoss Keycloak, Okta, OneLogin,
Salesforce, AWS Cognito, OpenAM, Oracle, PingFederate, PingOne, RSA
SecureID, Shibboleth-2, Shibboleth-3, SimpleSAML, WSO2
