Configure SSO from Salesforce to BIME

Set Up Your Salesforce Org as an Identity Provider

With the My Domain feature, your Salesforce org is enabled as an identity provider. My Domain is required for all orgs. If you don’t like your org’s My Domain name, you can change it.

The My Domain feature also creates a certificate and key pair. The certificate establishes trust between your Salesforce org and ADP. Optionally, you can use another self-signed certificate or import a CA-signed certificate.

To download the Salesforce self-signed certificate:

1. From Setup, enter Identity Provider in the Quick Find box, and select Identity Provider.
2. Click Download Certificate.

Configure SAML Settings in BIME

1. Log in to your BIME account as an administrator.
2. Under Admin, select Account.
3. Select Enable SAML authentication.

   

4. Configure SAML settings in BIME.
   1. For remote login URL, enter https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/idp/endpoint/HttpRedirect.
   2. For certificate fingerprint, enter the SHA1 fingerprint (or thumbprint) for the Salesforce certificate. To obtain this value, open the Salesforce certificate using a certificate viewer.
5. Save the settings.

Create a Connected App in Salesforce

1. In Salesforce, create a connected app.
   • In Lightning Experience, from Setup, enter App in the Quick Find box, and select App Manager. Click New Connected App.
   • In Salesforce Classic, from Setup, enter Apps in the Quick Find box, and select Apps. Under Connected Apps, click New.
2. Configure the connected app Basic Information settings.
   1. Enter a name for the BIME connected app. Salesforce uses this name to populate the API name.
   2. Enter your email address in case Salesforce needs to contact you or your support team.
   3. Optionally, upload or specify a logo and icon to represent your BIME application in the Salesforce App Launcher.

      

3. Configure the connected app Web App Settings.
   1. Select Enable SAML.
   2. For Entity Id, enter MyDomainName.bimeapp.com. For example, identitydemo.bimeapp.com.
   3. For ACS URL, enter https://MyDomainName.bimeapp.com/saml/consume. For example, https://identitydemo.bimeapp.com/saml/consume.
   4. Select a subject type, for example, Federation ID. The subject type is the method attribute by which a username in BIME maps to a unique Salesforce user identity. A federation ID is a unique value assigned to the user across multiple web services and Salesforce orgs.
   5. For Name ID Format, keep the default value.
   6. For Issuer, keep the default value, which is your My Domain login URL.
   7. For IdP Certificate, keep the default (Default IdP Certificate).

   

4. Save the settings.
5. Configure profiles and permission sets for the connected app.
   1. From Setup, enter Apps in the Quick Find box.
      • If you’re using Lightning Experience, select Manage Connected Apps.
      • If you’re using Salesforce Classic, under Manage Apps, select Connected Apps.
   2. Click the name of your connected app for BIME. The connected app detail page appears.
   3. Click Manage Profiles or Manage Permission Sets, and add profiles or permission sets for the users who can access this app.
6. In Salesforce, enter the start URL for the connected app.
   1. On the connected app detail page, under SAML Login Information, copy the IdP-initiated login URL.
   2. On the connected app detail page, click Edit Policies.
   3. For Start URL, paste the IdP-initiated login URL, appending the URL encoding of the SP-initiated login URL with the RelayState attribute. For example, https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/idp/login?app=0spi00000008OJX&RelayState=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect5.acmegizmo.com%2Fsfidentity.
   4. Save the settings.

Test the SSO Configuration

1. In Salesforce, from the App Launcher, find and open the BIME app. If you configured the BIME logo and icon for the connected app, the App Launcher displays them. If identity provider–initiated SSO is configured properly, Salesforce creates an application session.

   

2. To test service provider–initiated SSO, enter the URL to log in to BIME account. For example, enter https://identitydemo.bimeapp.com. If SSO is configured properly, you’re prompted to sign in with SAML. Click the SAML link, which redirects you to Salesforce to enter your credentials. If SSO authentication is successful, you’re logged in to your BIME account.
