# Huddle

Huddle allows you to create secure workspaces and portals to collaborate around content, track activity, and communicate securely on projects o client engagements. See <https://my.huddle.net>. You can protect access to Huddle by integrating Huddle with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Huddle account through Identity as a Service.

note

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.33 and Huddle 2.72.2204-web-0cd. Other versions of Huddle may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Huddle, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating Huddle. In the event of other issues, contact <support@entrust.com> for assistance.

Before you begin, open two browser windows. In one window, log in to your Huddle Administrator account. In the other window, log in to your IDaaS administrator account.

## Step 1: Obtain the Assertion Consumer Service URL and Entity ID from Huddle

You need to contact Huddle to obtain the following from the Huddle team for this integration:

- Assertion Consumer Service URL
- Entity ID

## Step 2: Add Huddle to Identity as a Service

2. Click Menu icon **>** **Security > Applications**. The **Applications** **Lists** page appears.

3. Click **Add**. The **Select an Application Template** page appears.

4. 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.
   - In the **Search bar**, enter a search option to filter for the application you want to add to IDaaS.

5. Click **Huddle**. The **Add Huddle** page appears.

6. Enter an **Application Name**.

13. Enter the **SAML Session Timeout** to the time when the SAML Assertion times out. The maximum is 720 minutes.

14. 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.

Be sure to same the file with the .cer extension, for example, SAML_certifcate.cer.

## Step 6: Configure Huddle for Identity as a Service authentication
