·1 min read·View Oracle Docs

To enable SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) access in NetSuite, it's essential to set up your Identity Provider (IdP) by configuring a metadata XML file that complies with SAML v2.0 specifications. This article outlines how to provide the IdP metadata file within the SAML Setup page in NetSuite.

How to Provide Your IdP Metadata

On the SAML Setup page, you have two options to specify the IdP metadata file:

  1. Indicate IDP Metadata URL:

    • Select this option if you have a URL to the metadata file. You will need to enter the exact location of the file.

  2. Upload IdP Metadata File:

    • Choose this option to directly upload the metadata XML file. Browse your local system to locate and upload the file.

Important Considerations

  • Ensure that your IdP metadata is correctly formatted according to SAML v2.0 specifications to avoid any integration issues.
  • Verify that your configuration is consistent with the requirements of your SSO solution to enable smooth authentication processes.

By setting up your IdP correctly, you streamline the authentication method for users accessing NetSuite, enhancing security through SAML SSO integration.
