  • Public - all people with valid (google or azure based on your selection) accounts are allowed to access your deployment.)
  • Filter By domain - all people with valid google or azure based accounts on the domain that you have set are allowed to access your deployment.

SAML based SSO​​

This is a viewer group authentication mechanisms support for the Security Assertion Markup Language.

Identity Provider Setup​​

Any SAML identity provider (IdP) can be configured to be used for authentication of a viewer.
To enable this, head over to the Viewer Group page, then:
  1. 1.
    Select SSO as your Login Method.
  2. 2.
    Now select SAML from the Provider drop-down menu.
  3. 3.
    After this, you will be asked to provide your SAML IdP configuration.
You should see the config as follows:
SAML viewer group
  1. 1.
    Enter your IdP's entityId, SSO redicrection URL and X.509 signing certificate.
  2. 2.
    Click the Save button to finally save your configuration.
  3. 3.
    To register GMetri as a service provider (SP) with your IdP, you will need the configuration details. You can get these details by clicking the Download GMetri's SAML Metadata button.
You can find sample metadata configuration here under the SAMLtest's IdP section. This will give you an idea of what you need to paste in the boxes for the SAML config.
NOTE on pasting X.509 certificate
Please paste certificate without the ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE---- and ----END CERTIFICATE---- part.

Deployment Setup​​

Once you create a SAML viewer group, head to your deployment and set this viewer group as the authentication mechanism for that deployment.

Viewer​​

  • Once you open a viewer link for deployment with a SAML SSO based viewer group, you will see a pop-up with the IdP's login page.
  • Post-IdP login process, you will be redirected back to view.gmetri.com.
  • We use your email address sent to us by the IdP as the primary identifier for the viewer session.

SAML authentication will not be successful unless the IdP returns your email in its SAML response.
