SAML 2.0

Overview

You can configure the security of your authentication certificates for your Test and Production environments from the Management Console (MC). This article specifically refers to the certificates that use SAML 2.0.

 

Bear in mind that you must have the certificate file before starting the following steps. You can buy one, generate one with OpenSSK or generate one through the Customer Portal. For more information on how to do this refer to Authentication Certificates.
