Collaboration (Organizations)

• Private: Access to properties created within a private space is restricted to your user account. You should only use this space for properties that do not require collaboration.
  If you have not created an organization yet, then the Edgecast Console will only display your private space.
• Organization: Edgecast allows you to collaborate with other team members through an organization. An organization provides a hub for all property-related tasks, such as managing a property’s configuration, deploying code, and reviewing analytics.

Managing Organizations #

• Creating an organization.
• Managing membership.
• Setting up security for your web applications and API.

1. From the Edgecast Console, click on the

   

   icon next to your name and then click on Create an Organization.

   

2. In the Organization Name option, assign a name to your organization (e.g., my-company) and then click Create an Organization.

   

   As shown above, the URL for your organization’s Web Properties page is formed by appending your organization’s name to the Edgecast Console’s base URL. Additionally, an organization’s edge link starts with the organization’s name (e.g., https://my-company-nature-videos-production.edgio.link/).

Single Sign-On (SSO) #

• Edgio-Initiated Workflow: This common SSO workflow requires users to browse to the Edgecast Console. After which, Edgecast will authenticate the user’s identity with your identity provider. A high-level overview of this workflow is illustrated below.

  

• Identity Provider-Initiated Workflow: This SSO workflow requires users to load the Edgecast Console through your identity provider. A high-level overview of this workflow is illustrated below.

  

Getting Started #

1. Contact your account manager or our sales department at 1 (866) 200 - 5463 to get started. Be prepared to provide the following information:
   • SAML Request Signing Certificate: An X.509 certificate in PEM format. Edgecast uses this certificate to sign the SAML request sent to your identity provider.
   • Login URL: Edgecast redirects users to this URL to perform an authentication challenge.
   • Logout URL: Edgecast requests a single or global logout through this URL.
   • RelayState: Edgecast redirects users to this URL upon authentication. This URL should be:
     https://api.edgio.app/initiate-sso
   • SAML 2.0 metadata in XML format.
2. Add the desired users to the Edgecast Console. Make sure that the email addresses defined within the Edgecast Console match those defined within your identity provider.
3. From within your identity provider, use the following information to configure Edgecast as a service provider:
   • Entity ID: https://id.edgio.app
   • Assertion URL: https://id.edgio.app/saml/assert
   • Login URL: https://id.edgio.app/saml/login
   • Logout URL: https://id.edgio.app/saml/logout
   • Digest: sha256 | sha512
   • Signature: sha256 | sha512
   • Sign Request: TRUE | FALSE
   • Sign Response: TRUE | FALSE
   • Encrypt Assertion: TRUE | FALSE
4. Set up a SAML assertion subject for each email address that should have SSO access to the Edgecast Console.
   Set the Subject NameID value to the email address format. The vendor-specific attibute for the email address claim is typically either email or emailaddress. Choose the correct attribute for the NameID format.
5. Optional. Set up custom attribute statements for the user’s name. Use the following schema namespaces:
   User’s First Name:
   http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname
   User’s Last Name:
   http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/familyName
