Hello Qlik NPrinting World!!
Last time I talked about Qlik NPrinting connections, but now we are going to delve into integrating Qlik NPrinting with SAML!
Topics:
What is SAML?
SAML or Security Assertion Markup Language is a form of Single Sign On. It allows the end users to login to the Qlik NPrinting WebConsole and/or NewsStand with the click of a button.
IdP versus SP Initiated SAML:
IdP (Identity Provider) Initiated SAML starts at the Identity Provider URL such as Okta, PingIdentity, ADFS and then redirects the user to the Service Provider URL, Qlik NPrinting.
SP (Service Provider) Initiated SAML starts at the Service Provider URL, Qlik NPrinting, then redirects the user to the IdP for Authentication, and then redirects back to the Service Provider URL.

Limitations:
Configuration:
I worked with the Education Team to help create a "Qlik Fix" video. The video is found here:
It will take you through the configuration steps to integrate Qlik NPrinting with SAML, in the video we are using Okta as our Identity Provider.
To summarize the video:
First enable SAML in Qlik NPrinting:
Click Save
Second setup your Okta Configuration:
Click Finish
On the Sign On screen right click on the Identity Provider Metadata and choose "Save Link As" ensure you save the file with a .xml file extension
Return to the Qlik NPrinting WebConsole - Admin - Settings - SAML Settings
Open the SAML page again by selecting the appropriate name
Browse for the IdP xml Metadata file previously downloaded from the Okta site
Click Save
Navigate back to the Okta Admin page and choose the Assignment tab
Choose the necessary users that need access to the Qlik NPrinting WebConsole
Testing:
Congratulations!! The SAML Authentication should now be setup between Qlik NPrinting WebConsole and Okta. ✔️
A step-by-step guide is found in our Knowledge Article: Qlik NPrinting SAML Authentication with Okta
Are there any other Identity Providers that you would like to see added to our Knowledge? Recently I configured Qlik NPrinting with PingOne PingIdentity. That article is found here: Qlik NPrinting SAML Authentication with PingOne PingIdentity
