Enabling SSO in Talend Management Console

Configure SSO on your Talend Cloud platform after setting up an application on your SSO provider side.

1. Log in to Talend Management Console.
2. On the top of the Users page, click Authentication.
3. Click Configuration.
4. Enter the SSO provider domain name in the Organization URL field.
   This domain name is the Login URL you copied from your Azure portal when configuring Azure AD Single Sign-On in the previous steps.
5. Upload the metadata file you downloaded from the SSO application configuration by clicking the icon.
6. Check the default User attributes. If needed, edit them to match the application configuration specified on the SSO provider side.
   These attributes are propagated to the SAML token used to authenticate users. The application configuration on the SSO provider side must specify these attributes as well as two other attributes:

   • The TalendCloudDomainName attribute that indicates your Talend Cloud domain name. You can find this information in the Domain field of the Subscription page of your Talend Management Console.
   • The NameId Format attribute that indicates the email address format.
7. Click Test to check your configuration.
   Information noteNote: The test checks that the provided URL and metadata file are valid. It does not guarantee that logging in through this SSO configuration will work.
8. Optional: Set up user provisioning to automatically create users in Talend Management Console when logging in to a Talend Cloud application via the identity provider.
   • It is recommended to set up SCIM provisioning in your identity provider and map roles between this provider and Talend Cloud. This is the most robust mechanism. For further information, see this example. For demonstration purposes, Azure AD is used as identity provider in the linked example.

     If the Just-in-time user provisioning option is already used when you set up the role mapping, for any given user, the roles assigned by this role mapping override those provided by the just-in-time option.

   • Alternatively, you can toggle the Just-in-time user provisioning option ON in Talend Management Console. This is the classic option provided by Talend Cloud.
     With the Just-in-time user provisioning option, select the default roles to be assigned to every automatically created user. Users are identified using the following format: EmailUsername.EmailDomainName@TalendCloudDomainName. For example, if a user's email is ychen@company.com and they operate in a Talend Cloud domain called support.company.com, their identification is ychen.company.com@support.company.com.

     Information noteNote: Make sure that the selected set of default roles poses no security risk for your platform.
9. Optional: Customize the logout URL. For example, redirect users to a specific page. By default, users are redirected to the Talend Cloud login page when they log out.
   For more information on the format to use for this URL, see the documentation of your SSO provider.
10. Click Save and Activate.
