Caveat: the following directions were based on a Centrify UI when it was written. The UI may change by the time you read this and so Centrify UI updates are beyond the scope of this article. Please go to Centrify for their latest information on web applications and other integrations.

The Centrify Application

Centrify provides an identity provider service that has its users and roles management.

These external users can be integrated with Synthetic Monitoring, allowing Log in Single Sign-On as a login method.

Integration Requirements

Centrify Management Access

To complete the integration, you need access to the Centrify Management Console, set up Synthetic Monitoring as a service provider, and add roles and users.
You must log in with a Centrify user with a System Administrator role.

Synthetic Monitoring as Centrify Application

The integration requires you to set up Synthetic Monitoring as a Centrify custom application.

Centrify SSO Overview & Setup

Preparation

The integration setup consists of multiple steps. Configuration consists of two major parts:

A. Configuring the Centrify Application.

B. Configuring Apica Synthetic Monitoring for Single Sign on.

To perform the integration, you must copy information to and from Synthetic Monitoring.

Since you will be going back and forth, opening both applications before starting is a good idea.

Configuring ASM for SAML and Centrify

The configuration of Synthetic Monitoring for https://www.centrify.com/ follows the general process.

To access the SSO settings in ASM, click the button in the top right corner of the User view.

The SSO view contains all settings needed to connect a user account with a SAML provider account.

Configuration

1. Enable

The Enabled section contains a setting for enabling or disabling Single Sign-On for the account and applies to the current account only.

2. Identity Provider

The Identity Provider section contains settings for connection to the SAML provider.
