This article explains how to integrate Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) with Vome using SAML 2.0 authentication. Once configured, your administrators can securely log in to Vome using their existing organizational credentials managed by your ADFS server.
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) enables single sign-on (SSO) by securely exchanging authentication data between:
Identity Provider (IdP): Your Microsoft ADFS server
Service Provider (SP): Vome platform
User: The administrator logging in
Admin clicks “Login with SSO” in Vome
Vome redirects the admin to your ADFS login page
Admin enters their organizational credentials
ADFS validates credentials and generates a signed SAML assertion
Assertion is sent back to Vome
Vome validates the signature and grants access
Note: ADFS integration supports authentication only (no user syncing). Each admin must already exist in Vome.Before beginning:
Administrative access
Ability to create Relying Party Trusts
HTTPS access to your ADFS server
Token-signing certificate available
Using the Ultimate plan
Open ADFS Management Console
Go to Trust Relationships → Relying Party Trusts → Add Relying Party Trust
Choose Claims Aware, click Start, then select “Enter data manually.”
Enable SAML 2.0 WebSSO protocol
Use the Identifier (Entity ID) and Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) provided by Vome from your Settings page > SSO (Single Sign-On) > ADFS
Create two rules:
Rule 1: Send LDAP Attributes as Claims
Rule 2: Transform Email to NameID
Incoming claim: E-Mail Address
Outgoing claim: Name ID
Format: Email
