Simplified Overview

Prerequisites

  • PhenixID Server configured according to this instruction: "Federation - Username and password"
  • BankID test client certificate (FPTestcert2_20150818_102329.pfx will be used for test environments)
  • BankID customer client certificate (for production environments)
  • Access to BankIDs infrastructure from the PhenixID Server

Add the BankID certificate to the configuration

  1. Rename the BankID certificate from *.pfx to *.p12
  2. Follow this guide to import the BankID certificate as a keystore
  3. Note the ID of this keystore as this will be referred later in this instruction

Convert the Federation - Username and Password scenario to SAML2BankID

Open the Advanced tab and locate the Authentication - HTTP entry that was configured in the previous "Federation - Username and password" scenario.

Change the value of the name parameter from "PostUidAndPasswordSAML" to "SAML2BankID"

Click the plus sign next to "configuration" to add new parameters

Set "keyStore" = "<reference to the prevously uploaded BankID Keystore>"

  4. Add a parameter for attributes to fetch for the matched LDAP entry: attributes = serialNumber,sAMAccountName
  5. Expand (Show) the AssertionProvider and modify nameIDAttribute parameter: nameIDAttribute = serialNumber
