Product: LaunchPad
Audience: ClassLink Administrator
Launch the ClassLink SAML IDP Console
After you login to the IDP Console, click on COPY EXISTING from the top of the navigation menu. This will present a list of pre-configured SAML connections.
Copy the Performance Matters template from the library
You will now see the Performance Matters SAML connector in your list of applications. Copy the IDP Metadata URL and provide that to your Performance Matters integration engineer. This is a unique URL for your district. Performance Matters will use this URL to establish a trust with ClassLink.
Next, edit the Performance Matters SAML app, locate the Login URL field then input your LaunchPad custom login URL.
Not sure what your custom login URL is? The login page URL is located in the ClassLink Management Console under Settings>Login Page. See below.
Once you've completed updating the SAML settings, scroll down to save.
After your connection has been tested, you can deploy the links to your users.
Depending on the applications you subscribe to, Performance Matters provide your district with one or more custom URLs to initiate the Single Sign-On process. It will look similar to the following url.

Next, let's create the SSO app! From the ClassLink Management Console, go to Add & Assign Apps, click new. Input the name of the Performance Matters app and complete the fields. Remember to turn on Single Sign-On, select SAML as the type, then paste the url provided by Performance Matters for that app. Click Save.
If you have other Performance Matters apps, make a copy of the 1st one, edit the copy - update the name, icon, and URL. Repeat if needed.
Done!
