Cloud Streaming - ClassLink SAML V2 Setup Guide – Swank Motion Pictures, Inc.

Step 1 – Configure ClassLink SAML Application

Use the following guide from ClassLink as a reference to build your custom application, or use the prebuilt SAML app:

ClassLink Guide: https://help.classlink.com/s/article/SAML-Console

Add SAML App
1. Go to ClassLink Management Console -> Single Sign-On -> SAML Console.
2. Click ADD NEW
3. Update the Name, Login URL, and Metadata URL with the Metadata from Digital Campus. You can add any other custom Attribute Mapping and/or Metadata Overrides that are necessary.
  1. Name: Swank Digital Campus
  2. Metadata URL:
    1. Download the Swank Metadata File here: https://swankmp.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/822478151/ServiceProviderMetadata.xml
    2. Copy the text within the downloaded XML file.
    3. Make sure the Metadata URL is set to accept metadata text and paste the text copied in step 2.
  3. Login URL: Your ClassLink Login URL
    - (Example URL: https://launchpad.classlink.com/swankschool)
  4. Attributes: If possible, renaming the attributes to the urn:oid standard will allow the streaming portal to identify the attribute and auto populate these required fields for instructor/admin accounts. Attributes to add:
    - Required:
      - Given Name(First Name) --> urn:oid:2.5.4.42
      - Family Name(Last Name) --> urn:oid:2.5.4.4
      - User email --> urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3
    - group_names or role are commonly used to differentiate between students and instructors
    - - (the renamed value of the attribute will go in the box below the attribute)
  5. Metadata Overrides: Add the NameID value and use "Email" under the Metadata Overrides section. This will allow the Email to be transmitted as the UserID and allow for easier role mapping on the Swank streaming portal.
  6. Attach LaunchPad app for permission: Leave this box unchecked.
Save ClassLink Metadata
1. Copy the IDP Metadata URL from ClassLink and paste it in a browser (Chrome preferably)
2. Right click on the resulting page and select Save As.
3. Change the Save as type to All Files (*.*) and save the document as an .xml file on your desktop or other easily accessible location. This will be used to import into the streaming portal later.
Build SSO App
Next, build the SSO app for your users.
