Configuring Single Sign-On for ActiveTransfer User Interface
ActiveTransfer supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0, an XML-based framework for exchanging security information. You can use SAML to access ActiveTransfer web client through SSO. SSO is supported only for HTTPS protocol.
ActiveTransfer serves as the service provider (SP) and communicates between a third-party identity provider (IDP) such as, ADFS, Okta, and so on, to access the target application, ActiveTransfer web client. You can configure ActiveTransfer for exchanging authentication data between the third-party identity provider and ActiveTransfer service provider. The third-party identity provider is the SAML authority and ActiveTransfer is the SAML consumer.
*To enable SSO for ActiveTransfer user interface (UI)
1. Create a WebSSO configuration file at Integration Server\instances\default\packages\WmMFT\config\sso
Note:
You can also provide the configuration filename that represents the port number. For example, websso_9102.properties.
The WebSSO configuration file requires the below key value pairs:
Key
Key value
SSO_KEYSTORE
C:/softwares/keycloak/keys/keycloak.jks
SSO_SP_MAPPED_PORT
9102
SSO_SP_ENDPOINT_URL
https://localhost:9102/mft/sso
SSO_IDP_METADATA_URL
https://localhost:8443/auth/realms/
TestSAML/protocol/saml/descriptor/
Or
file:///C:/SoftwareAG_105/IDPMetadata.xml
SSO_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
password in plain text
SSO_KEYSTORE_TYPE
JKS
SSO_SIGN_ALIAS
keycloakssl
SSO_SIGN_ALIAS_PASSWORD
password in plain text
SSO_ENCRYPT_ALIAS
keycloakssl
SSO_ENCRYPT_ALIAS_PASSWORD
password in plain text
SSO_DEFAULT_ALIAS
keycloakssl
Important: 
*If you want to configure SSO for IDP initiated login, then add the property, SSO_IDP_INITIATED_REDIRECT_URI in the file (websso_9102.properties) with the IDP initiated URL. For example, SSO_IDP_INITIATED_REDIRECT_URI=https://idp.machine/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx
*When you configure the WebSSO property file, the system generates the SPMetadata.xml file and downloads the IDPMetadata.xml file in the /sso and /gen directories. However, if you cannot download the IDPMetadata.xml file from the IDP server or file path, copy the content of the hosted IDPMetadata XML file to the generated IDPMetadata.xml file.
*You can restart the server or trigger wm.mft.sso:initializeSSO from Designer or Package Management from Integration Server Administrator console to regenerate the property file.
*The SP metadata file needs to be used by the IDP Provider to add the Service Provider.
*You can map multiple values of SSO in your system by creating multiple sso configuration files.
