Follow Centrify's instructions to add a custom SAML application.

Under Identity Provider Configuration and Metadata, copy the URL - this is your metadata URL that you'll need to send over to Benchling.

Under Service Provider Configuration, select Manual Configuration. You'll need the following information (replace "YOURDOMAIN" with your subdomain):

  • SP Entity ID/ Issuer /Audience: https://YOURDOMAIN.benchling.com/ext/saml/metadata.xml 

  • Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL: https://YOURDOMAIN.benchling.com/ext/saml/signin:finish 

  • Recipient Same as ACS URL: leave checked

  • Sign Response or Assertion: select Response

  • <NameID> Format: unspecified

  • Encrypt SAML Response Assertion: leave unchecked

  • Relay State: leave empty

  • Authentication Context Class: unspecified

On the SAML Response page, in the Attributes section, add the following attributes (Attribute Name as Attribute Value shown below):

  • firstName as LoginUser.FirstName

  • lastName as LoginUser.LastName

  • email as LoginUser.Email

Once configured, return to https://benchlinghelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9684227694733-Configure-SAML-Single-Sign-On-for-Benchling and continue from Step 2.
