Configure identity provider settings

Last updated September 24th, 2024

The Knox Partner Portal can be set up for use with several identity management providers. See below for detailed steps on how to integrate Knox Partner services with your specific provider.

If you’re signing into Knox services with an identity provider, you can’t sign in using your Samsung account.

Configure Microsoft Entra ID settings

If you’re using Microsoft Entra ID as your identity provider, you’ll need to refer to Microsoft’s official documentation to do the following:

  1. Add Samsung Knox and Business Services to your list of managed apps.
  2. Assign a user account to the app.
  3. Configure the Microsoft Entra SSO Settings with SAML, ensuring the following fields are set:
  • Identifier (Entity ID): https://www.samsungknox.com/
  • Reply URL: https://central.samsungknox.com/ams/ad/saml/acs
  • Sign on URL: https://accounts.samsung.com/

Once you’ve configured your identity provider settings, navigate to the Knox Partner Portal. Click your account icon > My account > IDENTITY PROVIDER SETTINGS. Then, under Identity provider metadata URL, paste the App Federation Metadata URL you copied from the SAML Signing Certificate, then click CONNECT.

Configure Ping Identity settings

If you’re using Ping Identity as your identity provider, see their documentation to configure Ping Identity with SAML for the Samsung Knox and Business Services app.

Ensure the following configuration settings:

  • Application name: Samsung Knox and Business Services
  • Description: Samsung Knox is a comprehensive suite of enterprise solutions for security, manageability, and productivity
  • ACS URL: https://central.samsungknox.com/ams/ad/saml/acs
  • ENTITY ID: https://www.samsungknox.com/
  • Assertion validity duration: 60 seconds
  • Application attribute: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name
  • Email Address application attribute: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name

Copy the IDP METADATA URL as you’ll need to paste it in your Samsung account later.

Once you’ve configured your identity provider settings, navigate to the Knox Partner Portal. Click your account icon > My account > IDENTITY PROVIDER SETTINGS. Under Identity provider metadata URL, paste the IDP METADATA URL you copied, then click CONNECT.

Configure Okta settings

If you’re using Okta as your identity provider, you’ll need to refer to their official documentation to do the following:

  1. Add Samsung Knox and Business Services as an existing app integration.
  2. Determine the SAML application URL and copy the Identity Provider metadata URL.

Once you’ve configured your identity provider settings, navigate to the Knox Partner Portal. Click your account icon > My account > IDENTITY PROVIDER SETTINGS. Under Identity provider metadata URL, paste the Identity provider metadata URL you copied from your Okta Admin Dashboard, then click CONNECT.

Sign in to the Knox Partner Portal

If you’re using any of the above identity providers, you’ll need to sign in to the Knox Partner Portal using a dedicated Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or Ping Identity SIGN IN button, different from the one used to sign in with a Samsung Account.
