SAML 2.0 authentication and authorization

Users logging in to NetProfiler can be authenticated remotely by a SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0) Identity Provider (IdP). The IdP can also authorize a NetProfiler user role for the user.

SAML authentication is configured on the IdP and on the SAML 2.0 tab of the Administration > Account Management > Remote Authentication page.
