Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the integration, ensure to complete the following prerequisites:

• Configure the following components:
• SAS PCE, deployed in your environment.
• SafeNet Access Exchange, deployed in your environment.

• Obtain the identity provider (IdP) metadata by performing the following steps:
  

  1. On the SafeNet Access Exchange console, in the left pane, under Configure, click Realm settings.

  2. In the right pane, next to Endpoints, click on the SAML2.0 Identity Provider Metadata link.

  3. You will be redirected to the SAML metadata of the realm created in SafeNet Access Exchange. Save the metadata as a .xml file.
     You will need the metadata file while creating a SAML federation trust between SafeNet Access Exchange and Office 365.
