Hi, we are trying to configure SAML authentication in our client's cloud enviroment. To get the .pem metadata file from the IPD they request the following urls: Identifier (Entity ID): mysite.appiancloud.com Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): mysite.appiancloud.com/.../AssertionConsumer Does anyone knows if we can just send them this urls with our domain or if we need to configure something in the admin console before? Thanks in advance.

Good morning, we are using the Log a Message (Appian Community) plugin in an Appian environment. The problem we have is that this plugin has been archived by Appian, and when we try to move it to another unrelated environment, we cannot install it. Does anyone know how to solve this? Do you know of another plugin that allows writing to the Appian log? Thank you very much

Hello team, We have configured a white list in customer environments and some users are receiving error 403 - forbbiden while trying to access appian. In my opinion, I believe that these users are not in the IP range configured in the white list. Knowing this, I would like to identify in the logs the IPs of these users who are having access denied when they try to enter the environment link to compare with the white list that we configured, and if this IP is not there, report this information to the client. Is there any way I can view this? Where? Thanks

Hi All, Anyone familiar with this type of issue when trying to import a package?

Im creating quite a bit of users in the Appian Environment one by one in the Admin Console. What is the best way to "Import" a batch of several users in Appian one time, rather than building each individual one by one? I see an Import and Export button on top of the Admin Console. but I am not sure if that can be used or what the alternative solution would be for this.  Thanks in Advance

Hi Team, I recently configured SAML in Appian, and when some existing users attempted to access Appian via SSO, they encountered a 401 error. I had already added these users to the authentication group, and ensured that the Identity Provider (IdP) username was in lowercase, with both the username and email matching. However, the 401 error still occurred. As a temporary workaround, I changed the username, and when the old user tried to access Appian through SSO, Appian treated the user as new. As a result, the user was recreated because we have the "Create new users upon sign-in" option enabled in the SAML settings. Since we cannot change the username for all users, I am looking for a solution to resolve this issue without modifying usernames. Any help with addressing this problem would be appreciated.  

Hi, I wanted to know that how we can expose/embedd our Appian functionality/action to other application which is not of Appian ex: A Java built-in app, so the user using the application can perform an action which is build of Appian.

 I would like to use a SAML Group claim, like <Appian Admin> so that when a user signs in, and they are in that IdP Group (from Azure Entra ID) that they are created as an admin console admin... Is there a way to use a "Common Object group" in Designer to manage admin console admins?

I am looking to use SAML 'Attribute Mapping' configuration to 'create new users upon sign in'. Is there a way I could create a user as a system administrator based on SAML attribute mapping?
