This guide provides an example on how to configure Aviatrix to authenticate against a OneLogin IdP. When SAML client is used, your Aviatrix CoPilot acts as the Identity Service Provider (ISP) that redirects browser traffic from client to IdP (e.g., OneLogin) for authentication.

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Before configuring SAML integration between Aviatrix and OneLogin, make sure the following is completed:
  1. The Aviatrix Controller is deployed.
  2. Have a valid OneLogin Account with admin access.
  3. Download and install the Aviatrix SAML VPN client .

OneLogin Account

A valid OneLogin account with admin access is required to configure the integration.

Aviatrix CoPilot

All users must use the Aviatrix VPN client to connect to the system. Download the client for your OS here .

Configuration Steps

Follow these steps to configure Aviatrix to authenticate against your OneLogin IDP:
  1. Create a OneLogin SAML App for Aviatrix.

OneLogin SAML App

Before you start, pick a short name to be used for the SAML application name. In the notes below, we will refer to this as aviatrix_onelogin, but it can be any string. We will use the string you select for the SAML application name to generate a URL for OneLogin to connect with Aviatrix. This URL is defined below as SP_ACS_URL. This URL should be constructed as:
Replace <your CoPilot IP or host name> with the actual host name or IP address of your CoPilot and <aviatrix_onelogin> with the string you chose to refer to the SAML application.
