The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a standard for logging users into applications using known identities from the customer's Active Directory system. The Vocera SAML Adapter acts as the SAML Service Provider for the Vocera Platform.

The Vocera SAML Adapter provides an alternative mechanism for authenticating users against a SAML Identity Provider (IDP) Service. Using the SAML authentication protocol, a user is able sign on once for all SAML Service Providers.

Users can bypass SAML authentication, and use LDAP or local user accounts to authenticate.

This section summarizes the new features in this release.

This section provides information about fixes and improvements made to the Vocera SAML Adapter product.

This release of the Vocera SAML Adapter has the following known issues.

• The SSO button does not display when a logout URL is not configured in the adapter. (UC-18685)

  By design, only the login URL is required to enable SSO; the logout URL setting is optional. However, currently iOS does not consider SSO enabled if a logout URL is not set.

• End users are not logged out of Vina; the next user must uninstall Vina and go through the lengthy install and configuration steps.

  Workaround: instruct the user to log out of Vina, or a system administrator can remotely log the user out of Vina.
