In this case miniOrange will act as a broker between the customer’s IdP and the applications (e.g WordPress and Tableau).The miniOrange SAML plugin and the Tableau site will be configured with miniOrange as broker. Customer IdP will be configured as an authentication source in the miniOrange.

2. In the Login with SAML case, the plugin will send a SAML Request to the miniOrange IdP and miniOrange IdP will forward this request to the corresponding customer’s IdP. All this happens behind the scene and the user will only see their corresponding IdP’ login page upon clicking on the Login with SAML link.
3. After successful authentication, the customer’s IdP will send a SAML Response to the WordPress site through miniOrange IdP. And the user gets redirected and logged in to the WordPress site
4. When the user clicks on the Tableau link present on the WordPress site, the Tableau site will send a SAML Request to the miniOrange IdP and miniOrange will forward this request to the corresponding customer’s IdP.
5. Since the user session already exists at the IdP, the user will not be prompted to login again.
6. Upon receiving the request, the customer’s IdP will send the SAML Response to the Tableau site through miniOrange and the user gets logged into the Tableau site as well.
