Noordhoff-Health PulseWeb SAML application setup
Introduction
This article demonstrates how to set up HelloID and PulseWeb for single sign-on using the SAML protocol. The configuration takes place in HelloID and requires you to send information to PulseWeb (Noordhoff-Health).
Requirements
HelloID environment
PulseWeb environment
Cost
PulseWeb charges a fee for SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On functionality: A one-time setup fee of €1,750, and an annually recurring fee of €400 thereafter.
Additional changes beyond the initial SSO implementation may incur additional fees.
Create or import a certificate
If there is no certificate yet, a certificate must be imported or created. For this tutorial, we will use a self-signed certificate. Create one before proceeding and name it PulseWebSelfSigned
.
