Storing the IdP certificate in Workforce Management

The IdP certificate must be stored in the Sensitive Data Configuration maintenance form in Workforce Management. Only users that belong to the SYSTEM ADMINS security group can access this form.

  1. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Sensitive Data Configuration.
  2. Click Create New Entry.
  3. Specify this information to store the public certificate:
    Configuration Type
    Select SAMLPUBLICCERT.
    Expiration Date
    Select a date in the future. For example, 01/01/3000.
    Protected Data
    Specify the encoded X509 certificate of the IdP. The certificate is used to validate the assertion signature in the SAML Response. The encoded certificate starts with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ends with -----ENDCERTIFICATE-----.
  4. Click Save. The value in the Protected Data field is encrypted before being saved to the database. Protected data is always shown masked in the maintenance form.
