Clarification on Single Sign-On Implementation and Certificate Management

Certified Associate Developer

Requirement:

  • Implement Single Sign-On (SSO) for your application.
  • Updated the Service Provider Signing Certificate in Appian.
  • Generated a metadata file and sent it to clients.
  • Configured the file and received an "Identity Provider Metadata" file, which was then configured in Appian under "Identity Provider Information".

Questions:

  1. If I change the certificate that is already configured on the Appian side, will SSO authentication fail due to a metadata mismatch?

  2. If it should fail due to a certificate change, why is it that in my case, when I change the certificates on the Appian side, the SSO works fine, and I am able to sign in to the website? The certificates are generated by the IIS manager on my system.
