Set up a Federation
A federation requires an exchange of information from both organizations. Federations may require days to weeks to complete as this information is exchanged, testing occurs, and the ‘go live’ date is scheduled.
Capture the information needed to engage the TID Federations team
Federation Request Form{ .md-button .md-button—primary }
Complete the form linked above to initiate an engagement from the Trimble Identity Federations Team.
Sales and customer success team members: We recommend that you fill this form out on behalf of your customer to facilitate better communication between the TID team and your customer.
The following information will be required to complete the form:
- A technical contact at your customer site (typically an IT administrator).
- What TID region does your customer want to federate with for data privacy reasons (the United States will be the default unless specified otherwise)?
- The list of email domains that will be claimed. Claimed email addresses means that any user with these email domains will be redirected to the federated identity provider. Claiming domains is required to set up a federation.
- A short list of test email addresses from the customer.
- Does the customer use a standard Identity Provider, e.g. Azure AD, Okta, etc.?
- Does the customer’s Identity Provider use the standard protocols Open ID Connect (OIDC) or SAML 2.0?
Test the federation
The Trimble Identity Federations team will coordinate with you and your customer to test the federation with a small number of test users before turning it on for all users.
Choose a go-live date for the federation
The Trimble Identity Federations team have a common schedule for turning on federations. Please coordinate between the Federations team and your customer.
