Configuring your enterprise IdP to work with CDP as a service provider

CDP provides a service provider SAML metadata file that describes the information that CDP requires to enable users to log in to CDP through your enterprise IdP.

You can get the CDP SAML metadata XML from the Administration page of your Cloudera Management Console under the Authentication tab. Look for CDP SAML Service Provider Metadata that contains the XML metadata.

The CDP SAML metadata file includes the following information:


Information	Attribute	Description
Name ID formats that CDP supports	NameIDFormat	The metadata includes multiple name ID formats. Use one of the formats in the list for the user ID. CDP supports any type of name ID format other than transient. Cloudera requires that you use name ID formats that are globally unique within your identity provider. The name ID format should also be stable over time. Cloudera does not recommend using email addresses because, although they can be unique, they are typically not stable over time. If your NameID is an opaque ID (such as a UUID), you can Generate workload usernames based on email. The value of NameID is case-sensitive.
CDP SSO URL	Location	It should be the same as the "Location" value of the "<AssertionConsumerService>" in the CDP SAML Service Provider metadata. It has a fixed format. For Example:`https://console-company.apps.domain.com/consoleauth/saml?samlProviderId=68e940b4-23b2-469b-a3f5-00a292d89f43` This attribute is required.
Endpoint for binding	Binding	Use the following URN as the endpoint that your enterprise IdP must bind to: `urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST` This attribute is required.
User email address	`RequestedAttribute: mail`	Set the email address attribute to the following URN: `urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3` This attribute is required.
(Optional) List of groups that the user is a member of	`RequestedAttribute: groups`	Set the group list attribute to the following URN: `urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.5.1.1` This attribute is optional.
(Optional) User first name	`RequestedAttribute: firstName`	Set the user first name attribute to the following URN: `urn:oid:2.5.4.42` This attribute is optional.
(Optional) User last name	`RequestedAttribute: lastName`	Set the user last name attribute to the following URN: `urn:oid:2.5.4.4` This attribute is optional.

If your enterprise IdP allows it, you can upload the CDP SAML metadata file to your enterprise IdP. Otherwise, use your enterprise IdP user interface to set up CDP as a service provider.
