Step 1: Complete
the prerequisitesAsana Enterprise offers a Web and mobile application that offers a work management platform that provides powerful admin controls and advanced data protection. (see https://asana.com/). This integration provides instructions to integrate Asana with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Asana account using Identity as a Service.
Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.15 and the Asana Enterprise Service as of March 2021. Other versions of the Asana Enterprise service may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For Asana versions other than the March 2021 service, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating the Asana Enterprise service. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
Step 1: Complete
the prerequisitesNote: The Asana SAML service does not support SAML SSO logout and does not provide a logout URL to input into the IDP SAML configuration. Consequently, Identity as a Service performs a session logout based on the Authentication Session Lifetime (see Manage General settings). The default value for this setting is 15 minutes. Set this parameter to an appropriate value according to your site security policy.
This procedure creates a user for SAML integration testing. However, the Asana product documentation indicates that you can bulk load users or create new user on-boarding pages with the Asana on-boarding features. See the following documentation for more information:
