Required information to integrate with your organization's identity provider

For Watson Care Manager to complete this integration, you must provide information about your identity provider to us and we need to share information with you. You must agree the method of exchange for confidential information with your IBM client executive at the time of engagement.

Information about your identity provider

You must provide the following information to us about your organization's identity provider:
  • SAML entity ID - The globally-unique SAML entity ID for your organization's identity provider. To obtain the SAML entity ID, see your identity provider's user documentation.
  • Sign-in URL - The URL to redirect users to for authentication purposes. When redirected to this URL, users are presented with your identity provider's sign-in page. To obtain this information, see your identity provider's user documentation.
  • SAML certificate - The signing certificate from your organization's identity provider. Download the certificate from your identity provider and ensure that it is in .pem format.

Watson Care Manager provides App ID SAML XML metadata to you which includes its entity ID, App ID call back URL, and certificate. Use the information in the XML snippet to configure your organization's identity provider. For information about how to do this, see your identity provider's user documentation.
