Issue
We want to use SAML SSO, but we do not know how it works and how to configure SAML Plugin.
We do not know how to create the IdP file.
Environment
- CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Operations Center (CJE-OC)
- CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Managed Master (CJE-MM)
- CloudBees Jenkins Platform - Operations Center (CJP-OC)
- CloudBees Jenkins Platform - Client Master (CJP-CM)
- Jenkins LTS
- SAML Plugin > 1.0.4
Resolution
As of version 1.0.4 SAML plugin is verified by the CloudBees Assurance Program. If you are using CloudBees Jenkins Solution of version 2.73.2.1 or newer we recommend using the SAML plugin version that comes verified with your release.
SAML Plugin only supports Authentication and Authorization challenges. It does not synchronize “External” groups or roles in Jenkins. Nevertheless, if your SAML Identity Provider (IdP) supports Group attribute, you can configure it in the SAML Security Realm, and these groups are going to be retained and can be used in the configuration of Authorization Strategies.
IdP metadata must look like in the example below. Usually, an IdP server can generate it for you, or you can request it from your provider. In case it’s not available, it could make manually with the metadata from the server.
In the example below
EntityDescriptor contains data about the identity provider. The
entityID attribute is its unique identifier. The rest of the IdP metadata contains information about how to sign and encrypt messages and the URLs to log in and log out. For more information and further references see SAML 2.0 Metadata
SAML Plugin 1.0.4 and less only supports urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect
SingleSignOnService Binding.
SAML Plugin 1.0.5 adds support for the urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST Binding
IdP metadata has to be configured in Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security > Security Realm > SAML > SAML Identity Provider Settings > IdP Metadata.

When the AuthRequest is validated the identity provider send a SAMLResponse to
[JENKINS_LOCATION]/securityRealm/finishLogin. This response contains the information about the user, session ID, authorization groups, signature of message and expiration of session. An XML message similar the one below is expected:
