SAML setup

SAML is an XML-based open-standard for transferring identity data between two parties: an identity provider (the entity) and a service provider (myViewBoard).

  2. In the Single Sign-On Setting dropdown menu, select SAML.

  4. Take the auto-generated URLs (Endpoint, Audience URL, Assertion Consumer Service, Recipient URL) and apply them to your SAML server settings.
  5. When ready, press Confirm.

SAML SIGN-IN TO myViewBoard WHITEBOARD AND COMPANION

SAML SSO sign-in is not supported when signing in to myViewBoard Whiteboard or Companion app. If your organization uses this method, make sure users set up a myViewBoard password before attempting to sign in to the apps with their myViewBoard credentials.

In addition, after signing in to the Companion app with these credentials, users can use the app's QR code reader for more convenient sign-in to myViewBoard Whiteboard.
