Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. The Service Provider must enroll with an Identity Provider and obtain an Issuer URL.

How it Works

First, Single Sign-On Settings are configured for SAML in the platform, then a link to the AgileApps Cloud platform is created in the corporate website/portal. Note: the link can be named or branded in any way, as specified by the Service Provider.

Users logged into a corporate website/portal can click the link and are then automatically logged into the AgileApps Cloud platform, without requiring additional authentication.

For example, an employee of ABC Company logs into the corporate website, which includes a link to the AgileApps Cloud platform on the landing page. The user clicks the link and is automatically logged in, without requiring a second login.

Enabling SAML

  1. Click Settings > Administration > Single Sign-On
  2. Click the [Edit] button
  3. For Single Sign-On Settings, choose SAML
  4. Fill in the SAML Settings
  5. Click [Save]
