Adding a certificate to Content Manager to verify the SAML response (deprecated)

To verify the incoming SAML response, you can choose to use an embedded certificate or you can use your own certificate. This task applies only when you are configuring the Content Manager server for a direct connection to the SAML identity provider (IdP), a setup that is now deprecated. We recommend that you configure all identity providers through the Access Management application.

About this task

  • To use an embedded certificate, add a property called UseEmbeddedCertificate to your application.properties file.
  • To use your own certificate, ensure the following:
    1. The application.properties file contains a PartnerCertificateFile property set to its name (say, My1LoginCert.cer).
    2. You have copied your certificate file to the web\WebUI\WebRoot subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME%.
