What You Need From TraitWare

You will obtain the following when you create your TraitWare application.

  • .xml Metadata file

Setting Up TraitWare

In order for TraitWare to communicate with Lucidchart, an application will need to be created. Once you have access from TraitWare, navigate to https://admin.traitware.com and use your TraitWare app to sign in.

If you do not have access to login to https://admin.traitware.com, please setup a trial account, or contact us at support@traitware.com

Adding a SAML Application

  • Select +Add Applications in the top right of the box to add a new application.

  • In the SAML Applications dropdown list, select Lucidchart. The fields following will auto-fill with generic information.
  • For Return URI, put a sign-in URL to redirect users back to upon timeout
  • Replace YOURDOMAIN in each field with the Organziation that you collected above. Ex: https://www.lucidchart.com/saml/sso/YOURDOMAIN becomes https://www.lucidchart.com/saml/sso/traitware
  • For Relay State, you can leave the field blank
  • Metadata URL will need to have n/a.
  • You will not need to add any mapping.
  • Select Submit.
  • Once your application is submitted, it will populate the information required by your service provider
