SAML integration: SP logs not found

Hello again! We are working on the SAML integration on our dev server and we’ve hit a snag; we’re stuck on step five of this process. There doesn’t appear to be a folder at /live/saml/metadata, and the SP metadata is not present. I looked for the corresponding folder on our live server and didn’t find anything there either.
Are we looking in the right place? I suspect we’re not, but I can’t find it anywhere else either.
Thanks,
Brian Byrne

Hi Brian,

Thanks for writing – easy to get confused at this step, there aren’t any folders under public_html/live/ on the SFTP server, because /live/ is our API endpoint. Anytime you see a LiveWhale URL starting with /live/… it’s pulling from somewhere else in the system.

In this case, /live/saml/metadata is the URL that will show your generated SP Metadata if you’ve got an sp-cert and sp-key files correctly loaded in via the core/config.php settings. Generally those point to files in /livewhale/integrations/saml if that helps, you could maybe try copying that folder from prod to dev and then reproducing most (all?) of the SAML_ related entries from /livewhale/core/config.php on dev as well. Hope this helps!

Well would you look at that, the metadata’s right there where you said it would be! Thanks Karl!

Ah great, glad that helped! Yes, a good reminder for us that we should be more explicit to say “visit /live/saml/metadata in your browser…” rather than just assuming people would try that first! :slight_smile: Thanks Brian.
