Detailed Description

If any App Links exist, they will be listed in the App Login Links area. To update an existing App Link, click on the name of the App Link in the Login Link column.

To create a new App Link, click on the button in the sidebar corresponding to the type of link to create, either Create SAML 2.0 App Link or Create SAML 1.1 App Link. The ‘Create App Link’ page will be displayed with the fields necessary to create that type of link.

  • Service Provider Entity ID
    The Entity ID of the Service Provider that is to be accessed via this App Link. This is a drop down list of the SAML 2.0 Service Providers that have been configured within the Elastic SSO application.

  • Link Text
    This is the text that will be displayed to the end user when they view My Accounts -> Apps. The text will be a clickable link to access the Service Provider.

  • Relay State
    Usually, this specifies the target URL to be navigated to once a session has been established with the SP and authentication is complete. The value can be dependent on the SP implementation. This parameter is optional. The SP should have a default location to navigate to after successfully processing an unsolicited response, although, that is also dependent on the SP implementation.

  • Shire
    The ACS URL of the service provider. This drop down list will be populated from the SP configurations and can be refreshed by clicking on the Reload Shire List button.

  • Target
    This specifies the target URL to be navigated to once a session has been established with the SP and authentication is complete.
