Configuring SAML SSO for ClearSlide

These steps will guide you through setting up the single sign-on functionality between ADSelfService Plus and ClearSlide

Prerequisite

Log in to ADSelfService Plus as an administrator.
Navigate to Configuration → Self-service → Password Sync/Single Sign-on.
Search for ClearSlide and select it.
Click Download SSO Certificate link in the top-right corner of the screen.
In the SSO/SAML Details pop-up screen that appears, note down the values of Login URL and Logout URL. We will need these values in a later step.
Click Download SSO certificate and save the file (PEM file). Open the certificate file in a text editor and copy its content. We will need this in a later step.

ClearSlide (Service Provider) configuration steps

Now, log in to your ClearSlide administrator account.
Click on your account name in lower-left corner and select My Account.
Under Admin Only Options, click Single Sign-On Settings.
In the Single Sign-On Provider drop-down list, select SAML 2.0 Provider.
Select options Automatically create user accounts and Require Single Sign-On for all users based on your preference.
Note down the value provided in the Custom Login URL. This value will serve as the sub domain name while configuring ClearSlide in ADSelfService Plus. We will need this value in a later step.

In the Single Sign-Out URL field, enter the Logout URL value you had saved earlier in Step 5 of Prerequisite.
Scroll down to Your SAML Provider Configurations section.
In the SAML Provider Endpoint and SAML Provider Entity ID fields, enter the Login URL value that you had saved earlier in Step 5 of Prerequisite.
In the x509 Certificate field, paste the certificate (PEM) file content you had copied earlier in Step 6 of Prerequisite.
Click Save.

ADSelfService Plus (Identity Provider) configuration steps

Now, switch to ADSelfService Plus’ ClearSlide configuration page.
In the Domain Name field, enter the domain name of your email address. For example, if you use johndoe@thinktodaytech.com to log in to ClearSlide, then thinktodaytech.com is the domain name.
In the SP Identifier field, enter the value you had saved in Step 6 of ClearSlide configuration.
Enter a Description for the connection.
In the Available Policies field, select the policies for which you wish to enable single sign-on.

Click Save.

Your users should now be able to sign in to ClearSlide through ADSelfService Plus.

For ClearSlide, both IdP-initiated and SP-initiated flows are supported.
