How to Configure SAML 2.0 for Rhombus Systems


Read this before you enable SAML

Enabling SAML will affect all users who use this application, which means that users will not be able to sign-in through their regular log-in page. They will only be able to access the app through the Okta service.

Backup URL

Rhombus Systems does not provide backup log-in URL where users can sign-in using their normal username and password. You can contact Rhombus Systems Support to turn off SAML, if necessary.

    • Select your preferred group filter from the roles dropdown list (the Regex rule with the value ".*" in order to send *all* groups to the Rhombus Systems instance we used in our example) for the attribute.
