SSO Basic Process

After the enterprise completes the relevant SSO configuration, employees can log in to the CDNetworks Console using the method shown in the diagram below.

Process Description:

1. The enterprise user uses a browser to select CDNetworks as the target service on the IdP’s login page. The IdP performs identity verification for the target service provider.
2. The IdP verifies the user’s identity. Upon successful authentication, it generates a SAML response and returns it to the browser.
3. The browser is redirected to the CDNetworks SSO service page and forwards the SAML response to the SSO service to initiate the SSO login process.
4. Once authentication is successful, the login status is returned.
5. The browser is redirected to this URL to log in to the CDNetworks Console with the specified account identity.

Configuration Steps:

1. Upload the enterprise IdP metadata document to CDNetworks to establish a trust relationship from CDNetworks to the enterprise IdP. For detailed configuration, please refer to SAML Configuration for SP.
2. Download the CDNetworks metadata document and upload it to your enterprise IdP to establish a trust relationship between the enterprise IdP and CDNetworks. For detailed configuration, please refer to SAML Configuration for IDP.
3. Configure the SAML assertion attributes that the enterprise IdP forwards to CDNetworks to complete CDNetworks login verification. For detailed configuration, please refer to SAML Response of SSO.
