SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) lets your team authenticate to Validio through your organization's identity provider instead of managing separate credentials.

Signing In from Your Identity Provider

You can start a sign-in from the Validio login page, or from your identity provider, for example the Validio tile in the Okta dashboard or Microsoft My Apps. Both use the same ACS URL, so the setup below covers both.

Signing in from your identity provider works only when exactly one SAML identity provider is enabled in Validio. If more than one is enabled, Validio can't tell which one sent the sign-in, and returns you to the login page. Start from the Validio login page instead.

Google Workspace

1. Set up a custom SAML app in the Google Workspace Admin console, with your Validio deployment information:

   • ACS URL: [Deployment instance URL]/login/saml2
   • IdP Entity ID: [Deployment instance URL]/saml2
   • Name ID format: [EMAIL]
   • Leave other fields as default

2. Add a new identity provider in Validio:

   • Entry point / SSO URL: https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/idp?idpid=[Identity provider ID]
   • Entity ID: [Deployment instance URL]/saml2
   • Certificate: The certificate (string value) is found in the Google Workspace Admin console or in the IDP metadata.

For information, refer to Google Workspace Admin Help: Set up your own custom SAML application.

JumpCloud

1. Set up a custom SAML app in the JumpCloud admin console, with your Validio deployment information:

   • Entity ID: [Deployment instance URL]/saml2
   • SP Entity ID: [Deployment instance URL]/saml2
   • Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL: [Deployment instance URL]/login/saml2
   • SAMLSubject NameId Format: select urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1:1:nameid-format:emailAddress
   • Signature Algorithm: RSA-SHA256
   • Select the 'Sign Assertion' option

2. Add a new identity provider in Validio:

   • Entry point / SSO URL: Same value as IDP URL for your application in JumpCloud
   • Entity ID: [Deployment instance URL]/saml2
   • Certificate: Download the certificate under JumpCloud > SSO Applications > your configured application > IDP Certificate valid > Download certificate (paste the entire content of the downloaded certificate.pem into this field)

Microsoft Entra ID

1. Setup an Enterprise Application using SAML
   • Identifier (Entity ID): [Deployment instance URL]/saml2

   • Certificate: Download the Base64 version on Entra> Single sign-on> SAML Certificates and paste the string to the Certificate field on Validio.

Okta

1. Setup an Enterprise Application using SAML
   • Single Sign on URL [Deployment instance URL]/login/saml2
