Single Sign On (SS0)

Rechat supports Single Sign On using the SAML protocol. This document assumes you have an understanding of the protocol and are already set up as an Identity Provider.

Overview

Activating Rechat as an SSO requires 2 steps:

1. Adding Rechat as a Service Provider

2. Adding your IdP to Rechat

Step 1: Creating a SAML Service Provider

The first step in activating Rechat's Single Sign On is to add Rechat as a Service Provider. You can add Rechat as a service provider using the following specs:

Key	Value
ACL URL	https://api.rechat.com/auth/saml
Entity ID	https://api.rechat.com/auth/saml
Signed Response	Enabled
NameID Format	EMAIL

Rechat will also look for the following data coming from SSO users to populate their information:

Property	Example
firstName	John
lastName	Smith
phoneNumber	[phone]
timezone	America/Chicago
profileImage	https://yourwebsite.com/agents/1002.jpg
userid (primary key)	12345

Step 2: Providing Metadata to Rechat

You need to provide Rechat the following information:

• SSO Url

• Entity ID

• Certificate

• Service Provider's ID

Some IdP Providers allow you to download all required metadata in a in a XML file. The XML file is also a valid method of gaining this information.

Once you have completed Step 1, you can contact us to activate your SSO.
