IDP Name
The IDP name is used to uniquely identify the metadata file associated with your company’s SAML SSO configuration.
It is also used to generate the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL.
Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL
The ACS URL is an endpoint on the service provider (Fyle) that is responsible for receiving and parsing a SAML assertion.
The identity provider (your company) uses the ACS URL to send an XML document called SAML Assertion.
SAML Assertion
The Assertion is the data provided by the identity provider that supplies one or more of the following statements to the service provider:
Authentication statements assert that the user specified in the assertion actually did authenticate successfully, and what time they did so.
Attribute statements supply attribute values pertaining to the user. The NameID attribute is required and specifies the username, but other attributes can be manually configured as well.
Authorization decision statements declare whether the request to allow the assertion subject to access the specified resource has been granted or denied.
Fyle requires the Email ID of the user to be sent as the NameID attribute in the assertion.
An example assertion looks like this:
Entity URL
The entity URL is the service provider’s URL and uniquely identifies the host (Fyle).
You require this URL for the SAML SSO configuration on your end.
