Static SAML

Scenario

Fortified ID Access comes with two test authenticators. This use case addresses the test authenticator called Static SAML. If you want to set up a quick authenticator without having to connect to Active Directory, Entra or e.g. BankID, this authenticator can be a good choice.

Note. This use case uses default configuration of Management Center, Fortified ID Portal is already added as an SAML SP to Access acting as the SAML IdP.

Below are two links if above text is not fulfilled:

• Install Management Center
• Add Portal as SAML SP to Access SAML IdP

In this use case Fortified ID Portal will act as an SAML SP and Fortified ID Access as SAML IdP.
On the SAML IdP their will be one authentication method which is Static SAML.
This is not intended to be used in a production environment.

Prerequisite

• See above prerequisite in Scenario
• Windows server
  • At least 16 GB of RAM
  • A server certificate so LDAPS is supported for Active Directory

Note. All configuration and testing is done on the scenario server.
