SAML attributes used by the helpdesk
Whenever a user logs in via SAML Signle-Sign-On (through any SAML provider, like Azure AD, OneLogin, Google SAML, ADFS, Okta, or anything else) Jitbit Helpdesk app updates their helpdesk-user information. Like First/Last names, email, phone number etc.
What are the SAML attributes/properties/fields Jitbit is using in the user profile when authenticating users via SAML?
Answer:
Jitbit looks at:
"NameID" (the standard SAML user identifier) to identify the user and match them against the Username stored in the helpdesk database.
We also look at:
"User.email", "mail", or "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress") for email
"first_name", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname", "User.FirstName", "givenName" for first name
"last_name", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/surname", "User.LastName", "sn" for last name
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/department" or "department" for department
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/homephone" or "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/telephonenumber" for the phone number
