Does anyone have experience deploying SAML with DOORS Next 7.2 or earlier? I’ve noticed it’s not redirecting to SAML as expected. It goes to the login page instead. We’re using Keycloak for authentication. 

Any guidance on configuration or common pitfalls would be appreciated.

How did you integrate keycloak with ELM? Did you also setup ldap or scim? Besides Authentication ELM requires a kind of user directory as well.

we used keycloak together with an ldap where keyclaok automatically creates the user in and assigns the right ldap groups corresponding to user information so the elm roles are set correctly.

It still requires that the user directory is updated before a new user can login, so the user is already existing in ELM, forwhatever reason ELM did not query the ldap for new users if user does not already exist in elm.

We’re using LDAP and have created the required groups in Active Directory, ensuring they match the groups configured in EWM. I’m able to log in with my AD account without issue. However, even after enabling SAML, the application is not redirecting to our IdP. I’ve reviewed the configuration with support, and they didn’t identify any problems. I’m wondering if there are additional settings required in JTS that may have been missed.
