Verify that you meet the following requirements before you import the connector:
An understanding of identity federation using the SAML 2.0 protocol.
For more information about SAML, see the OASIS website.
An enterprise Box account.
Administrator access to your enterprise Box account. An understanding of Box and its account management tools are presumed.
A Box user account for each user who wants to authenticate to Box through the CloudAccess single sign-on service. The connector for Box does not provision user accounts.
Box requires you to contact your Box account representative to configure the SAML 2.0 federation between Box and CloudAccess. --Be prepared to provide them the federation configuration details for your organization at that time.
When you configure the connector, the Federation Instructions provide the information that your Box account representative will need to set up the federation in Box for CloudAccess. This information includes the metadata; the field values to use; and other guidance.
(Optional) An X.509 signing certificate from Box is required to support single logout. Communications use SSL regardless of whether you provide this certificate.
