How to configure SSO

Pre-requisites

1. Download the Udemy Business SSO Metadata file.

2. You are an Admin within your Udemy environment.

Part 1 - Setting up Udemy Business as a Service Provider

For specific instructions in establishing a SSO connection in your system we recommend consulting your documentation

3. Use the provided UB metadata file to configure SSO within your Identity provider by saving the file or copying the URL. This process differs per identity provider so please refer to the particular Identity provider article for details.

4. Confirm SAML configuration values:

    • Entity ID: PingConnect
    • ACS URL: https://sso.connect.pingidentity.com/sso/sp/ACS.saml2
    • Logon/Base URL: Your Udemy Environment URL.({company}.udemy.com)
    • X509 Certificate: Found in Udemy metadata file

Please note:  If you are already using PingConnect as an Entity ID for another existing SSO application, please contact Udemy to create a unique Entity ID and generate a custom metadata file.

5. Confirm SAML attributes. Identity providers often provide these by default but you may wish to edit these attributes.

Required attributes

  • email : the unique email of the user 

Optional attributes

  • firstName : the first name of the user
  • middleName : the middle name (if any) of the user
  • lastName : the last name of the user
  • displayName : the fully formatted name of the user
  • Name ID : an identifier that can be used in cases where a name is duplicated
  • groups : the list of groups to which the user belongs
  • externalID : a unique user ID specified by the customer
  • lmsUserID : a unique user ID specified by the customer

6. Download the Metadata file from your system

Part 2 - Configuring Udemy
