Create a Yext app in ADFS

Prerequisites: This article assumes your account is already configured for SAML SSO. If you haven't done that yet, see Configure SAML SSO before continuing.

This article walks you through the steps to set up a Yext app in ADFS. This will allow you to give your users the ability to sign in to Yext using ADFS for identity management.

The process is broken into two steps:

  1. Add the Yext app in the ADFS Management Console.
  2. Add the SAML Configuration information to your Yext account

If you use another identity provider, see our other SSO guides for details on how to add an app to the provider you use.

 

Add Yext app in ADFS Management Console

  1. Open the ADFS Management Console.
  2. Click Add Relying Party Trust.
  3. Click Start.
  4. Select Enter data about the relying party manually and click Next.
  5. Enter a Display Name (e.g., Yext) and click Next.
  6. Use the default ADFS Profile and click Next.
  7. Use the default settings on the Configure Certificate screen and click Next.
  8. Check the Enable support for the SAML 2.0 WebSSO Protocol checkbox and specify the service URL.
  9. Click Next.
  10. Enter a Relying Party Trust Identifier.
  11. Copy the SAML Issuer Entity ID into the Relying party trust identifier box and click Next.
  12. Select Permit all users to access this relying party and click Next.
  13. Click Next on the summary screen.
  14. In the Claim Rules window, click Add Rule…
  15. Select Send LDAP Attributes as Claims and click Next.
  16. Enter a name for the rule that specifies what it does (e.g., UserName). Select Active Directory as the Attribute Store, and select the appropriate mappings.
  17. Click Finish and OK to close both windows.

 

Enter information in Yext

Once you've added your app to the Management Console, you're ready to add the relevant SAML configuration details to Yext.

  1. In your Yext account, click the profile icon at the bottom of the navigation bar.
  2. Click Account Settings.
  3. Click SAML Configuration and enter the relevant information, or input the appropriate configuration.

Your users should now be able to log into Yext via ADFS.
