Chrome River (IdP-initiated) Integration Guide

Introduction

Use this guide to enable Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-on (SSO) access via SAML to Chrome River.

Prerequisites

1. Have a Chrome River account with SAML capabilities enabled

2. Create a New Realm for the Chrome River integration in the SecureAuth IdP Web Admin

3. Configure the following tabs in the Web Admin before configuring the Post Authentication tab:

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

  • Data – an enterprise directory must be integrated with SecureAuth IdP

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

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

SecureAuth IdP Configuration Steps

1. In the Profile Fields section, map the directory field that contains the user's Chrome River ID to the SecureAuth IdP Property

For example, add the Chrome River ID directory field to the Email 2 Property if it is not already contained somewhere else

Global Aux Fields

2. Set Global Aux ID 1 to the Chrome River Company ID

Note

Use the Global Aux Fields if the Company ID is a static value for all users; if it is unique to each user, then a different Profile Property must be utilized instead

7. Set the SAML Consumer URL to https://www.chromeriver.com/cr-saml/consume.php?CompanyID=<COMPANY ID>

8. Set the WSFed/SAML Issuer to a Unique Name that is shared with Chrome River

The WSFed/SAML Issuer must match exactly on the SecureAuth IdP side and the Chrome River side

9. Set the SAML Recipient to https://www.chromeriver.com/cr-saml/consume.php?CompanyID=<COMPANY ID>

10. Set the SAML Audience to http://www.chromeriver.com

11. Set the SAML Offset Minutes to make up for differences between devices

12. Set the SAML Valid Hours to limit for how long the SAML assertion is valid

13. Select PasswordProtectedTransport from the AuthnContext Class dropdown

Note

For steps 7 and 9, replace <COMPANY ID> with the actual Chrome River Company ID value

Note

No configuration is required for the WSFed Reply To/SAML Target URL or SP Start URL fields
