Visma Raet Youforce application setup
Introduction

This manual shows you how to setup SSO to Raet Youforce using the OpenIDConnect protocol. The configuration takes place in HelloID and in the Raet Youforce admin center.

Requirements:

  • HelloID environment

  • Raet Youforce environment

Create or Import a Certificate

If there is no certificate yet, a certificate must be imported or created. This can be done in the HelloID Administrator Portal under Settings > Certificates. For this tutorial, we will use a self-signed certificate. Learn more about certificates here.

Configuring the Mapping Set

By default, the 'matching identifier' is set to the user's username. This is, assuming the username matches the user's UserPrincipalName, because Raet recommends the UserPrincipalName to use for the matching identifier. If you wish to use another attribute, click here to learn more about attribute mappings. The configured subject attribute is required. If another identifier attribute is required this has to be discussed with Visma - Raet and can be changed in the mapping set if needed.

Application configuration data

After saving the Visma Raet Youforce application, click its Edit link on the applications overview. This will bring you to its properties page.

In order to successfully set up the connection, they will need the following data:

  1. OpenID discovery document can be found found at the steps before.

  2. Issuer URL to find the issuer url open the OpenID discovery document. The issuer url is placed on the second line after "issuer":

  3. ClientID can be found at the steps before

  4. Client Secret can be found at the steps before

  5. Identity provider your current emaildomain e.g. customer.com

After setting up the correct URL's you can finish the configuration in Youforce.

User identities in Youforce

The internal network names of the users in your organization have to be linked to a Youforce user. Perform the steps below to realize this:

  1. Go to Portaalb eheer > Portaalbeheer > Single Sign On >Groepsgewijs Netwerknamen Opvoeren.

  2. Click Voltooien and download the .txt file to a local directory of your choice.

  3. The downloaded file contains a column Identity. Enter a value here for every user. This can be the same as the Netwerknaam. The value of the Identity field is freely selectable, but it must be unique within your organization

  4. Go to Zenden en Ontvangen > Zenden and choose Gebruikersbeheer. Enter the location of the file to send and click Zenden. If there are any double identities in the file, the import will abort when it reaches a double value. We advise to check the file, correct it and resend it.

  5. Check in Beheer > Portaal Beheer > Rapportages via Logboek Groepsgewijs Gebruikersbeheer if the import was successful.

It is also possible to enter or change an identity via Individueel Gebruikersbeheer. Go to Portaalbeheer > Portaalbeheer > Gebruikersbeheer > Individueel Gebruikersbeheer and change the value of the Identity field for the specific user.
