Hi,
We didn't do a huge amount in terms of implementing SAML with our recent
update of Topdesk/Unidesk but are using the native SAML support in the
latest version of Topdesk (5.7.3?). Prior to this they were proxying it
through Apache to use mod_shib.
The one big gotcha is that the self-service portal and the operator
portal are treated as 2 separate endpoints by Topdesk to the extent that
they are 2 separate SPs.
Other than that from the IdP side of things it was fairly
straightforward, the only other trick being some judicious use of a
Regex in the attribute filter to ensure that the same attributes are
released to both "SPs"
Hopefully that's enough info. If it's specifics on the implementation on
the Topdesk software I'd have to ask our Applications team who worked on it.
Kind regards,
Mark
