You can access these settings in the Settings application under the Security & Membership -> Authentication -> Claims-based authentication category. On this tab, you can adjust settings related to Claims-based authentication.

Note: You may need to set up SSL for your site to use certain identity providers.

General (Administration only)

Enable WIF authentication

Enables claims-based authentication.

Users need to sign in through the identity provider specified by the settings below (for example Active Directory Federation Services⁠ (opens in a new tab)). Disables the standard authentication mechanisms in Xperience.

Identity provider URL

Specify the URL of your identity provider's WS-Federation passive endpoint.

You can find the value in the provider's configuration interface or WS-Federation metadata.

Example: https://adfs.net/adfs/ls

Security realm

Enter a URI that identifies your website or application. You can use your website's domain name (and virtual directory if applicable) in most cases.

The value must be exactly the same as in the relying party configuration of your identity provider, including letter case, any trailing slashes and the protocol (http or https).

Allowed audience URIs

URIs of allowed audience for the identity provider, separated by semicolons. The value must match the corresponding relying party settings of your identity provider, including letter case, any trailing slashes and the protocol (http or https).

Use the base domain name on which your Xperience administration application is running.

Trusted certificate thumbprint

Enter the thumbprint of the certificate used to secure the communication between Xperience and the identity provider. You can typically find the certificate thumbprint in the provider's Key/Certificate configuration.

Certificate validator

Sets the validation mode used for the X.509 certificate specified in the Trusted certificate thumbprint setting.

  • Chain trust – accepts certificates whose chain of trust leads to a trusted certification authority. The certificate must be installed on the server hosting Xperience in the Local Computer -> Trusted People certificate store.
  • Peer trust – accepts self-issued certificates. The certificate must be installed on the server hosting Xperience in the Local Computer -> Personal certificate store.
  • Peer or chain trust – accepts self-issued certificates, or certificates with a chain that leads to a trusted certification authority.
  • None – no validation of the certificate is done and the system accepts any certificate with the given thumbprint.
