SAML Configuration Guide

Last updated: August 28, 2026

Housing.Cloud can integrate with any Identity Provider that supports the SAML 2.0 standard.

Configuration Process

  1. Client registers Housing.Cloud as a new Service Provider in their respective Identity Provider (IdP) using the Endpoints below and creates the necessary Attribute mappings
  2. Client shares the Metadata XML file with Housing.Cloud and confirms the Attribute names to be included in the Assertion
    1. e.g. fullName vs http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name
  3. Housing.Cloud registers the Identity Provider using the Client's Metadata file
  4. Client should ensure that the appropriate audience(s) are provisioned to the Housing.Cloud Enterprise Application in their respective IdP
    1. For sandbox, this audience is primarily only the Housing/Residents Life Professionals and IT Professionals
    2. For production, this audience is typically all current students, Housing/Residents Life Professionals, and IT Professionals
