Why this matters: Mavvrik only supports SP-initiated SSO (started from Mavvrik's login page) — setup here is about getting the SAML app configured correctly on both ends. RSA's own workflow requires an extra "Publish Changes" step after every edit (noted at the bottom) that's easy to miss and will leave changes not actually live until you do it.
Note: Mavvrik does not support IDP-initiated flow for single sign-on (SSO). In order to use SSO with Mavvrik, you will need to initiate the SSO process from Mavvrik
Here are the steps to create a SAML app in RSA:

-
Paste the same connection URL used in above step in Assertion Consumer Service (ACS)
-
Enter SP Entity ID (Navigate to Mavvrik SSO dashboard under Admin and copy the SP Entity ID)
-
Copy this Identify Provider URL and paste it in IdP Entity ID and IdP SSO URL in mavvrik sso dashboard.
-
Click on Download certificate, open it and copy the certificate and paste it in IdP Certificate in mavvrik sso dashboard.
-
Click on Save in Mavvrik SSO
-
Go back to RSA secure id dashboard
