This type of provider uses a CAS server to authenticate users and log them in.

Note:

Detailed instructions on how to configure a third-party CAS server to correctly authenticate and return valid tokens for use with the Hyland IdP server are beyond the scope of this documentation. Detailed instructions for configuring your provider are available from the developer of the software being used.

To configure the Hyland IdP server to use a CAS provider:

  1. Launch the Hyland IdP Administration client and log in (see Accessing the Hyland IdP Administration Client).
    Upon successfully logging in, the tenant, provider, client connection, and API resource information is displayed. In a wide display, the tenant information is in the left pane and the providers, client connections, and API resources configured for that tenant are listed in the right pane. In a narrow display, the tenant information is at the top of the page and the provider, client connection, and API resource information is below it.
  2. Click the Provider tab to view the providers currently configured for the tenant. The number of providers configured is displayed in parenthesis in the tab heading.
  3. If this is a new provider, click Add New at the upper right of the providers list.

    If you are configuring an existing provider, click its name in the list of providers.

    The Provider configuration page is displayed. It is divided into the Basic Settings and Protocol areas. In a wide display, the Basic Settings area is on the left. In a narrow display, the Basic Settings area is at the top of the page.

  4. Under Basic Settings, configure the following options.

    Option

    Description

    Name

    A unique name for the provider. This value is required and cannot contain any slashes (/ or \).

    User Attribute Mapping

    These options are used to synchronize user attribute information.

    The schema definitions of the provider responses that contain the account declarations of the user logging in. The following attributes can be synchronized.

    • Username: The URI of the claim type in the provider response that contains the user name of the user logging in.

    • Email: The URI of the claim type in the provider response that contains the email address of the user logging in.

    • Real Name: The URI of the claim type in the provider response that contains the real name of the user logging in.

    • Group: The URI of the claim type in the provider response that contains the group membership of the user logging in.

    Strip domain from username

    Select this option to remove the domain from the user name before it is passed for authentication.

    This setting controls whether to automatically strip the domain from user names that are passed as either domain\username or username@domain. This is useful when providers use a full domain and user name but authenticating system only uses the user name.

    Enable User Provisioning

    Select this option to synchronize the user attributes defined in the User Attribute Mapping section when the user logs in.

    Note:

    User provisioning requires a SCIM Endpoint to be defined for the tenant. See Configuring the Tenant.

    User Provisioning Create Enabled

    Select this option to allow creating a new user in the tenant resource if the user logging in is not found.

    If this option is not selected and the user logging in is not found, that user is not logged in and an exception is returned.

    Note:

    User provisioning requires a SCIM Endpoint to be defined for the tenant. See Configuring the Tenant.

    User Provisioning Update Enabled

    Select this option to allow updating an existing user in the tenant resource if the user logging in is found.

    If this option is not selected, the incoming user information from the tenant is ignored and no updates are made to user information.

    Note:

    User provisioning requires a SCIM Endpoint to be defined for the tenant. See Configuring the Tenant.

  5. Under Protocol, select CAS from the Type drop-down list. The specific settings for CAS providers are displayed.
  6. Update the values of the CAS settings to match your environment.

    Setting

    Description

    Identity Provider

    Enter the root URL of the CAS server. For example, https://Cas.Server.Name:8443/CasServer/

    Protocol Version

    Select the version of your CAS provider. The Hyland IdP server supports CAS versions 1, 2, and 3.

  7. Click Save in the lower right corner of the page.
    Note:

    If you are configuring the Hyland IdP for use with an OnBase environment, you must also configure a default User Group in OnBase to assign new users to when accounts are created in OnBase from federated credentials.
