Alfresco Desktop Sync users can authenticate through a SAML identity provider.
The following prerequisites are required - see the Supported platforms page for specific versions:
- Alfresco Content Services
- Identity Service
- Alfresco Desktop Sync for Mac or Windows
Sync Service supplies the default configuration set in the alfresco.global.properties file directly to the Desktop Sync clients as users start the initial login.
See Setting up Desktop Sync (Windows) and Setting up Desktop Sync (Mac) for further details.
The Identity Service may be configured with multiple applications. If an application is created for Alfresco Desktop Sync, then specific configuration properties must be included in the sync/service-sync/config.yml file.
