The workflow is same as Okta; however, setup steps will depend on what platform you are using. From your system we will need the following information or MetaData XML that contains these fields.

  • IDP Sign in URL
  • IDP Entity ID
  • IDP Certificate
  • Webcasts Subdomain you are currently using to login into the webcast platform. The default is admin.webcasts.com however you may have a custom URL such as companyname.admin.webcasts.com

Once you provide the above information the configuration will be setup on your GlobalMeet account. We will provide you with a RelayState and Service Provide Consumer URL to complete your SAML SSO setup.   Please note, we currently we only support integration where email is part of the NameID.
