Authentication to workspace portal using ADFS (SAML)

[psetka0]

Hello,

I need to configure authentication to Workspace portal using Microsoft ADFS. Is such configuration possible? Are the steps described here: VMware Horizon Workspace 1.8 Documentation Center correct ones do accomplish it? I am not talking about configuring SAML to access other services from Workspace portal, but talking about SAML authentication to the Workspace portal itself.

Thank you!

Hi

I'm not sure which version you are using but later versions of VMware Identity Manager supports third-party iDP. Regarding using ADFS please look at this doc :

Sorry, I know this post is old, but we are running into issues implementing the solution in the PDF

We are using ADFS 3 and Workspace/IDM 2.8.1

We are able to connect to the IDM URL and get prompted for ADFS logon. We logon to ADFS with email and password (we don't have Kerberos enabled yet), and ADFS logs us in, but Workspace One shows "Access Denied. Authentication failed. Return to the login page and try logging in again."

Also, if we attempt to put the IDM SP.XML file into the ADFS relying party trust as a URL, it fails with the following error. We are able to import it by saving SP.XML to the desktop and import it that way.

"The request was aborted. Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."

Any pointers?

TIA!
