The information in this section is to help your IT team to avoid any potential problems. Your identity provider must include the following attributes in the AttributeStatement section of SAMLResponse Assertion message:

  • E-mail address
  • First Name

E-mail Address

Every TrustArc user is required to have a valid email address. Your company’s identity provider must be configured to send the user email address to TrustArc in its assertion message. Different identity providers may send the email address in different common fields. TrustArc will look for the email address in these attributes checked in following order:

  • EmailAddress
  • email
