Console terminology: In the Maverics Console, this section is called
Identity Fabric. The YAML configuration uses the
connectors key to define
identity provider integrations.Overview
The 1Kosmos connector uses SAML 2.0 to federate authentication with the 1Kosmos BlockID platform — enabling identity-verified, passwordless authentication through the Maverics Orchestrator.Use Cases
- Passwordless authentication — Replace passwords with 1Kosmos BlockID identity-verified authentication, modernizing the sign-on experience across legacy and cloud applications
- Identity proofing for high-assurance access — Leverage 1Kosmos document verification and biometric capabilities for high-assurance authentication where compliance or security policies demand strong identity verification
- Unify SSO with passwordless across hybrid environments — Route authentication to 1Kosmos alongside other IdPs, extending passwordless access to legacy apps that were never designed for it
- Phased IdP rationalization — Gradually migrate users from legacy IdPs to 1Kosmos BlockID, reducing the number of identity platforms and the associated licensing and maintenance costs
Configuration
- Console UI
- Configuration
To create a 1Kosmos connector in the Maverics Console:
- Navigate to Identity Fabric in the Console sidebar.
- Click Create and select 1Kosmos (SAML).
- Enter a Name — the friendly name that identifies your provider.
- Enter the Metadata URL — the URL of the 1Kosmos SAML metadata document.
- Enter the Consumer Service (ACS) URL — the Assertion Consumer Service URL where 1Kosmos sends SAML responses.
- Enter the Entity ID — the unique identifier for the Service Provider.
- Click Save.
Troubleshooting
- Verify the SAML metadata URL is accessible from the Orchestrator host — confirm the 1Kosmos domain is correct and reachable
- Ensure the entity ID matches the 1Kosmos configuration — The
samlEntityIDvalue must match the trusted Service Provider identifier configured in the 1Kosmos BlockID administration portal - Check the Assertion Consumer Service URL — The
samlConsumerServiceURLmust match the Orchestrator’s actual callback endpoint. If behind a load balancer, use the external-facing URL. - Verify the domain value — The
domainfield must match the 1Kosmos BlockID domain assigned to your organization
