Heroku Integration Guide

Obtain the Heroku SAML 2.0 Metadata XML

About this task

This guide uses a metadata XML file to assist in configuring many settings in the service provider (SP) connection. When asked during the configuration steps, import the saml-metadata.xml built in the following steps.

Steps

  1. Copy the following sample metadata into a text editor.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
     <md:EntityDescriptor
      xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"

      entityID="https://sso.heroku.com/saml/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>" cacheDuration="PT1440M"

      ID="nYtE3pu8fofN4a5Z_ST5F8jDObh">
       <md:SPSSODescriptor
      AuthnRequestsSigned="false"  WantAssertionsSigned="true"
      protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">

      <md:NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</md:NameIDFormat>
       <md:AssertionConsumerService
      isDefault="true"

      Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"

      Location="https://sso.heroku.com/saml/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>/finalize"
        index="0" />
      </md:SPSSODescriptor>

    </md:EntityDescriptor>

  2. Replace the instances of <ORGANIZATION_NAME> with the organization name for the Heroku account.

    For example, if the URL you use to access your Heroku team account is

    https://dashboard.heroku.com/orgs/myOrgName/settings

    then your <ORGANIZATION_NAME> is myOrgName.

  3. Once you have updated the file, save saml-metadata.xml.
