Set Up SSL Keys for SAML 2.0

Last modified: 09 October 2024

To use Hub as the Identity Provider with SAML, you must encrypt the connection between Hub and a Service Provider. You need to generate an SSL key and a certificate, pack them in a PKCS #12 format file, and upload it to Hub.

There are several tools that let you create SSL keys and certificates in PKCS #12 format. We describe how to create an SSL keystore with the OpenSSL toolkit.

Hub encrypts the connection with SAML Service Providers using the selected SSL key. Hub also extracts and displays the SHA-256, SHA-1, and MD-5 Fingerprints of the certificate that is packed into the selected keystore.

A service provider may require any of these fingerprints to enable and configure SAML2.0 on its side.
