Step 1. Download Handshake's Metadata
If you are on InCommon, you should already have our metadata (reference here).
If you are not on InCommon, you can download a copy here.
Step 2: Configure Your SAML Service
Handshake's entityID is: https://app.joinhandshake.com/sp
Handshake's AssertionConsumerService Post URL is: https://app.joinhandshake.com/saml_consume
Attribute or NameID Suggestions
RequestedAttribute: FriendlyName="eduPersonPrincipalName"
Requested Format: NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"
NOTE: The attribute or NameID you specify should return a value matching the format of the auth_identifier field from your student syncs. Also you should specify this value, either a NameID OR an attribute, in your Handshake SSO Preferences (after step 4 HERE), but not both.
Step 3: Login to Handshake to Setup SSO
Setting SSO up on Handshake is self-service! After your career services admin has added you to Handshake you can begin SSO Setup and Testing.
