Create the AD FS identity provider on the BlackBerry Workspaces server

  1. Download the AD FS metadata XML file from https://<ADFS.SERVER.ADDRESS>/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml
    If you use Internet Explorer to download the metadata file the file data might display as plain text, and not like a traditional XML file. If this occurs, you must either enable Internet Explorer Compatibility View or download the file using a different web browser.
  2. Save the XML file locally by selecting File > Save As.
    Make sure to remove all XML elements related to <ds:Signature> </ds:Signature> in the metadata file before using the file with the BlackBerry Workspaces Advanced Configuration Tool. In addition, do not copy and paste the data of the XML file into a text file.
After successful creation of the metadata file, complete the integration by importing the file into tthe BlackBerry Workspaces Advanced Configuration Tool (contact your Professional Services representative to complete this step), to complete the configuration. If your organization is hosted on the BlackBerry Workspaces cloud, contact customer support via your BlackBerry myAccount to configure your account with SAML integration. To complete the integration, the metadata pulled from your organization's identity provider is required.
