Integrate Envoy
Envoy offers visitor management, employee sign-in, desk reservations, room booking, and delivery management software (see https://envoy.com/). You can protect access to Envoy by integrating Envoy with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Envoy account through Identity as a Service.
Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.15 and Envoy Premium Subscription Service. Other versions of Envoy may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Envoy, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Envoy. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, you must complete the following prerequisites:
Log in to your Envoy account. The Home page appears.
Click Employee directory.
Click Create New.
Add the new user to Envoy Premium and save the information.
Create a corresponding user in Identity as a Service that has an email address that matches the email address of the user in Envoy Premium. (See Add users to Identity as a Service).
To integrate Envoy with Identity as a Service, you must do the following:
Step 1: Create a SAML signing certificate in Identity as a ServiceStep 1: Create a SAML signing certificate in Identity as a Service
Create a SAML signing certificate
Identity as a Service provides a default self-signed certificate. You can also create your own certificate. This might be necessary if your certificate is about to expire or you want to create a certificate and replace the self-signed certificate with a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority (CA).
Log in to your Identity as a Service administrator account.
Click 
> Security > Applications. The Applications List page appears.
Under SAML Cloud Integrations, click SAML Signing Certificates. The SAML Signing Certificates page appears.
Click 
. The Create Signing Certificate dialog box appears.
Enter a Name for the certificate.
Select the expiry date from the pop-up calendar and click OK.
Click Add. The certificate appears on the Signing Certificates page.

Add Envoy as an application to Identity as a Service
Log into your Identity as a Service administrator account.
Click > Security > Applications. The Applications Lists page appears.
Click Add. The Select an Application Template page appears.
Do one of the following:
Select SAML Cloud Integrations from the search drop-down list and scroll to find the application you want to add to IDaaS.

Click Next. The General page appears.
In the Default Assertion Consumer Service URL field, paste the Assertion Consumer Service URL you copied in Step 2: Copy the metadata from Envoy.
In the Service Provider Entity ID (Issuer) field, paste the SAML Identifier you copied in Step 2: Copy the metadata from Envoy.
In the Single Logout Service URL field, enter
https://dashboard.envoy.com/login
Enter the SAML Session Timeout to the time when the SAML Assertion times out. The maximum is 720 minutes.
Enter the Max Authentication Age (seconds) to set the maximum amount of time that can elapse before a user is required to reauthenticate during a new login attempt. This applies for both SP-initiated and IDP-initiated login. Set this field to -1 to disable this feature.
From the SAML NameID Attribute drop-down list, select Email.
From the SAML NameID Encoding Format drop-down list, select Email.
From the SAML Signing Certificate drop-down list, select the signing certificate.
Optional: Select Respond Immediately for Unsuccessful Responses to return to the application immediately after a login failure, rather than allow user to try again with a different userID.
Deselect Enable Go Back Button if you do not want users to be able to go back to the Envoy login page to log in.
Select Show Default Assertion Consumer URL Service in the My Profile. When selected, the Default Assertion Consumer URL appears in a user's My Profile page in addition to relay states and Alternative Assertion Consumer URLs.
Optional. Add Alternative Assertion Consumer Service URLs, as follows:
Click Add.
Enter a Name.
Enter a URL Value.
Select Show in My Profile to display the Alternative Consumer Service URL in a user's My profile page.
Optional. Add an Application Logo.
