Enforce Single Sign On for your team members and increase security by using CloudCannon with SAML.
CloudCannon is set up as a Service Provider (SP) to allow Single Sign On (SSO) for your Organization. To use this feature, you need to be on our enterprise plan and already have your own Identity Provider (IdP).
Configuring SAML#
SAML can be a tricky thing to configure with only one end of debugging. If you would prefer manual assistance with setting up, please contact support.
To configure SAML with your IdP you will need the following details:
- SAML 2.0 Endpoint (HTTP)
- Issuer
- X.509 Certificate
The issuer is configurable to allow multiple organizations from the same IdP. It must start with cloudcannon.com/. Leaving this blank will configure it as cloudcannon.com.
To add these details:
- Go to Organization Settings / SAML
- Fill in all of the fields available and submit the form
Once configured, you will get a screen defining any information you will need. If you require more information than displayed, please contact support.
