Integrate with ClassLink (SAML)

Users with the Manage District Settings user permission can set up single sign-on with ClassLink. This integration creates user accounts as users log in for the first time.

This is a three-step process:

1. In ClassLink, add a new SAML application.
2. Enable domain-wide delegation to the new service account.
3. Add IT Asset Manager data to ClassLink.

Important: Because of the technical knowledge required, your district's IT administrator will most likely need to perform this procedure.

Step 1: In ClassLink, add a new SAML application

A few things to do while setting up the SAML application in the ClassLink SAML Console:

• Fields are case sensitive.
• Copy the existing template.
• Copy the IdP Metadata URL for IT Asset Manager.

Note: ClassLink’s interface and field names may have changed since this was written. Use these steps as a general guide, and select the closest matching options in your ClassLink portal.

Step 2: Enable domain-wide delegation to the new service account

Note: A user with the Google super administrator role is required to perform this task.

1. In IT Asset Manager, select Settings > Single Sign On > SAML Configuration. The SAML Integration Admin page appears.

   

2. Next to ClassLink, click . A pop-up appears.

   

3. Do the following:
   1. Under Entity ID, enter your ClassLink identifier.
   2. Under Issuer, enter the IdP Metadata URL from ClassLink.
   3. Enter the Login Link, if desired.
   4. Under Certificate, enter the IdP Certificate.

      Note: You download this certificate from ClassLink.

   5. Click Generate Metadata XML file, and then copy the information.
4. Click Save.

Step 3: Add IT Asset Manager data to ClassLink

To complete the connection, go back to ClassLink and do the following:

1. Paste the information from the Generate Metadata XML file to the ClassLink METADATA field.

   Note: Before pasting the file information, delete "Change Me" in the METADATA field.

2. Add the IT Asset Manager app to your ClassLink launchpad.
