HelloID

Dundas Reports SAML application setup
Introduction

This manual shows you how to set up SSO to Dundas Reports using the SAML protocol. The configuration takes place in HelloID and requires you to send information to Dundas Reports.

Requirements:

Application Setup

Configuring the Mapping Set

By default, the 'matching identifier' is set to the user's SAMaccountname. This is assuming the SAMAccountName is known in HelloID and matches in Dundas Reports.

If you wish to use another attribute, click here to learn more about attribute mappings.

Dundas Reports requires the customer tenant ID within the SAML Response, therefore we have to change this in the mappings.

Replace {customer_tenantId} with the tenant ID of your Dundas Reports environment.
