Colt will set up your metadata (shared during the form submission) in Colt Online  IdP and confirm it back to you. Our Support team will also contact your IT contact ((provided in the form) if any additional information is required to complete the IDP.

Note: Metadata should not contain <RoleDescriptor> tags

 

Step 4

You should be able to log in to Colt Online with Single Sign On.

Note: Your Colt Online user should have the same email address as your company credentials. If you haven’t signed up for Colt Online yet then click here to register.

 

Important: Single Sign On (with your company credentials) will be the only option to access Colt Online once it is enabled. This will apply to all users in your organisation.
