Establish a Connection Through the SAML Bridge

...

You can establish a SAML bridge connection to import your client’s directory into Yellowfin. 

1. Create a folder for the SAML bridge in your computer’s webapps folder (your Yellowfin folder >  appserver > webapps) and give it an appropriate name
2. Unzip the bridge file you downloaded and place its contents into this folder
3. Refer to the instruction/configuration file, previously downloaded from Yellowfin's marketplace and configure your SAML setup according to its instructions
4. Next, restart Yellowfin’s web server. (This could be a TomCat server)
5. The SAML entity will start working now and you will see the following screen. (Note: This is a customizable screen, which can be edited by you)
   
   
   
   
6. Click on the Login button; your SAML application’s login page will appear. (Our example below shows the login screen for the SAML application we use.)
   
   
   
   
7. Provide your login credentials and click the Login button
8. If your credentials get authenticated through the Yellowfin bridge, you will be taken to your Yellowfin dashboard
