Introduction to Mapping:

Mapping involves the process of mapping user attributes between an Identity Provider (IdP) and a Service Provider (SP) in the SAML Single sign-on (SSO) process. When a user performs SSO to log into the SP (Drupal site), the IdP provides a SAML assertion containing user attributes, and the Mapping tab will allow you to map those attributes to the Drupal user profile attributes. The miniOrange SAML SP Module offers options for

  1. Attribute mapping
  2. Custom Attribute Mapping
  3. Role Mapping
  4. Profile Module Mapping

Prerequisite:

  • To map Identity Provider (IdP) attributes, we need to know the attributes we receive from the IdP. In order to obtain a list of all the attributes received, please follow the steps below:
    • Navigate to the Service Provider Setup tab of the module. Scroll down to the bottom and click on the Test Configuration button.
    • You will get a popup window with attributes received from your Identity Provider (IdP).
    • Note down the attribute name for further mapping.
