Overview

The Yellowfin SAML Bridge is a Java web application that allows for interfacing between a SAML Identity Provider, and Yellowfin. This allows for a user to use the same credentials that they use 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.

 

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.

The Yellowfin SAML Bridge uses the Yellowfin Web service Java Library. The library (yfws.jar) that corresponds to the Yellowfin instance version should be included in the /WEB-INF/lib directory of the Yellowfin SAML Bridge.

 

You can find the yfws-xxx.jar file in Yellowfin installation folder under development/lib. If your Yellowfin was upgraded, contact Yellowfin support team (support@yellowfin.bi) to get corresponding web services library as Yellowfin upgrade does not upgrade development folder. Another way to get proper yfws.jar is to perform fresh Yellowfin installation of the upgraded version and copy the file from its development/lib folder.
