The Yellowfin SAML Bridge is a Java web application that is used for interfacing between a SAML Identity Provider, and Yellowfin. This way users can use the same credentials that they used for other applications at their organization. The Yellowfin SAML Bridge in this case is a SAML Service Provider (SP). The SAML Bridge uses Yellowfin’s web services to SSO the user into Yellowfin. There is also an option for auto provisioning users the first time that they connect to Yellowfin using the SAML Bridge.

For a simpler integration, Yellowfin 9.6 shipped with a SAML interface. If you don't already use the SAML Bridge application described in this section, the new interface might provide all the tools you need. If you plan to implement service provider-initiated flows, you will need to use the SAML Bridge application described here.

Installation

The Yellowfin SAML Bridge is a separate Java web application that can be run within the same Tomcat instance as Yellowfin. The bridge can be installed by unzipping the YellowfinSAMLBridge.zip file into the Yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ directory.
