After saving the configuration of a SAML realm, information about Fluid Topics is available in this section, as shown in the following example:

Service provider metadata after saving a configuration

Where:

  • XML metadata file. This is an XML file containing information about Fluid Topics.
  • Certificate. This is the SAML certificate used to encode messages before sending them to the SAML provider.
  • Callback URL. This is the URL of the Fluid Topics callback page to which the SSO mechanism redirects.



- Selecting XML metadata file or Certificate downloads the corresponding data to the user's device. Selecting Callback URL copies the URL to the user's clipboard.

- To finalize the configuration of a SAML realm, it is necessary to share the Fluid Topics data with the SAML provider.

The Service provider XML metadata file contains both the certificate and the callback URL. However, some Identity providers specifically request the certificate or the callback URL individually. The Certificate and Callback URL buttons allow users to save time by not having to extract this information from the XML metadata file.
