WS-Federation Configuration

Required Information

To setup WS-Federation AgWare needs some information about the identity provider.

  • The issuer
  • The token endpoint
  • The token activation endpoint
  • The signing certificate

This information can be provided as an XML file, metadata URL, or as plain text.

AgWare will provide the wtrealm and reply URL to be entered into the identity provider.

Required Information

Entra provides several ways to get the required information. The easiest is to use the metadata URL found in the SAML configuration.

To configure WS-Federation in Entra for Cost New navigate to the associated Enterprise applications.

Entra enterprise apps

From the Enterprise application navigate to ManageAuthentication and look for the SAML Certificates box. It contains the metadata URL which can be used to provide the information.

tip

Don't get this confused with the ManageAuthentication under App registrations.

Configure Entra for Cost New

To configure WS-Federation in Entra for Cost New navigate to the associated Enterprise applications.

Entra enterprise apps

From the Enterprise application navigate to ManageAuthentication and select SAML.

Entra SAML config button

In the SAML configuration click edit and enter a reply URL and an identifier.

warning

None of the SAML information will save until a reply URL and an identifier are provided. This means that certificates and other information provided prior to saving may not be valid.

Entra SAML edit button

Add either placeholder values, or the values provided by AgWare for the identifier and reply URL.

note

SAML is not the same as WS-Federation, but this configuration panel applies to both.

This means that the wtrealm will be entered as an identifier on Entra as this field applies to both properties.
