# WhiteSource

WhiteSource provides an open source security and license compliance management platform for organizations to manage their open source assets (see `https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/`). You can protect access to WhiteSource by integrating WhiteSource with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their WhiteSource account through Identity as a Service.

note

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.11 and Whitesource version 20.8.2.3.Other versions of WhiteSource may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of WhiteSource, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating WhiteSource. In the event of other issues, contact <support@entrust.com> for assistance.

To integrate WhiteSource with Identity as a Service, you must do the following:

4. Copy the Sample Metadata for WhiteSource and paste it into a text editor such as Notepad.
5. Replace `Location="https://saas.whitesourcesoftware.com/saml/SSO"` with `Location="https://<Base URL>/saml/SSO"`.
6. Save the metadata file as `whitesource_metadata.xml`. You need to upload this in _Step 2: Add Whitesource to Identity as a Service_.

12. If required, click **Merge with existing values** to merge new values with existing values for Alternative Assertion Consumer Services URLs and SAML attribute names.
13. Click **Save**.
14. Optional. Enter the **SAML Username Parameter Name** used to identity the user ID being requested for authentication. The user ID can then be passed as a parameter, for example, Username=jdoe.

15. Enter the **SAML Session Timeout** to the time when the SAML Assertion times out. The maximum is 720 minutes.
16. 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.
