Using JIT Provisioning

Additional attributes are required to use JIT provisioning. JIT required attributes are prepopulated and are on by default to enable JIT provisioning. You can鈥檛 edit the JIT required service provider attributes. You can customize the 探花大神 attribute name and the constant value for JIT required attributes. Toggle off the attributes to opt out of sending the attributes in the SAML assertion.

To complete the provisioning process

1. Authorize a user鈥檚 access to the application in 探花大神.  
2. Have the user log in to the application using SSO. The SAML assertion passes from 探花大神 to the service provider, and gives the service provider the information it needs to create the user account.

Authorizing User SSO Access

Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to 探花大神, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Applications, Users List or User Groups 辫补驳别.听
