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.
