Configuring SAML Protocol

Hideez Enterprise Server – SAML Protocol

Hideez Enterprise Server (HES) supports SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) standard for user authentication. HES is an IdP (Identity Provider) that enables SSO for all web applications (SP, Service Provider) supporting SAML.

Since HES supports FIDO2 passwordless authorization, service providers automatically get the ability to authorize with hardware security keys without having to create and enter passwords.

Supported sign in options:

• Username + password (not recommended)

• Username + password + second factor (security key - hardware or platform, OTP, mobile authenticator)

• Passwordless

  • Username + Security key (hardware or platform)

• Usernameless

  • Security key (hardware or platform)

  • Mobile authenticator

IdPs and service providers must exchange public key certificates, addresses for requests, and other parameters to establish an acceptance between them.
