HelloID

Entrace SAML application setup
Introduction

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

Requirements:

  • HelloID environment

  • Entrace 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.

Application Setup
Add the Entrace Application

Create a new application in HelloID by navigating to Applications > Applications. Open the Application Catalog and search for "Entrace". Find the SAML template, and click Add. Learn more about managing applications here.

Configuring the Mapping Set

By default, the 'matching identifier' is set to the user's contact email. This is assuming the email address known in HelloID matches the Entrace user's email address.
