About Secure Chat
Secure Chat, also known as Chat Customer Single Sign-On, allows chat entry points to transfer customer context
information from the company website to the application through SAML. This allows customers who are already
recognized on the company website to use a SSO-enabled entry point to chat with a customer without having to
provide redundant information. This feature is available for auto-login configuration only. To learn how to
enable auto-login for chat, see “Enabling Auto-Login” on page 34 for chats and “Enabling Auto-Login” on
page 71 for callback.
Planning Your Configuration
Before configuring Secure Chat, perform the following:
Identify the entry points for which you want to enable this feature.
Identify the attributes you want to transfer through SAML and configure your federation server to generate
SAML assertion with these attributes.
Obtain the SAML configuration details, such as the Entity ID and the Public key certificate used to validate
the SAML assertion. Have these ready when enabling the Chat Customer SSO feature.
