Setup: Authentication

Signing SAML Login Requests

Before We Begin

This is an optional step in addition to configuring Curator for SAML authentication. See these links for help configuring SAML within Curator first:

Configuring Curator to Sign SAML Requests

If your SAML Identity Provider (IdP) requires SAML requests to be signed, you'll also need to generate a certificate and private key, and add those to Curator's authentication settings.

Here are the steps you'll need to take:

  1. Generate a certificate and private key. If needed, you can create a self-signed key here.
  2. Navigate to Curator's Backend > Settings > Security > Authentication Settings and expand the SAML Advanced section.
  3. Toggle on the Sign Log In Requests and Sign Logout Requests options.
  4. Open the certificate file on your computer, copy its contents, and paste them into the Service Provider Certificate field.
  5. Open the private key file on your computer, copy its contents, and paste them into the Service Provider Private Key field.
  6. Save the changes.
  7. You will likely need to send the certificate file to your SAML IdP administrator.
  8. If the Certificate field (the field above the Service Provider Certificate) is blank, you'll need to get an updated metadata file from your IdP administrator and import it using the button in the General section at the top of the page.
