Submit Form Post to Generic Web Apps Configuration Guide

Introduction

Use this guide to provide a Submit Form Post Authentication page for users to perform a generic HTTPS post to a specific URL.

For example, this page can provide a direct login to Salesforce without the end-user needing to input a username and password on the Salesforce login page.

Prerequisites

1. Access to the configured application to which the form post will be submitted

2. List of control names to which posts will be made

3. Create a New Realm or edit an existing realm on which the form post information will be configured

4. Configure the following tabs on the Web Admin before configuring the Form Post

  • Overview– the description of the realm and SMTP connections must be defined

  • Data– an enterprise directory must be integrated with SecureAuth IdP, and AUX IDs configured for posting data to the form

  • Workflow– the way in which users will access the target must be defined

  • Multi-Factor Methods– the Multi-Factor Authentication methods that will be used to access the target (if any) must be defined

  • Post Authentication– the target resource or post authentication action must be defined

  • Logs– the logs that will be enabled or disabled for this realm must be defined
