If your company already uses Single Sign-On (SSO), the following guide will get you on the path to linking Credentially and easing the management of various usernames and passwords for our software.
What Is SSO?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a session and user authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials (e.g. a name and password) to access multiple applications. With the connected SSO on Credentially, users can sign up to the system in a few clicks with one of the following default SSO providers or with any provider that supports SAML protocol:
Azure AD
Auth0
Okta
How can I have the Credentially SSO connected?
If you want to connect the Credentially SSO, please email support@credentially.io or contact your Customer Success Manager directly for a quote.
Note: Credentially will provide you with some specific service provider configuration information (Service Provider Entity ID, Callback URL, Metadata URL, etc) needed for the SSO setup. However, the SSO account setup itself will be required on your end.
What data is required to connect the Credentially SSO?
We need some data from you so we can connect you to SAML 2.0 integration:
Provider Identity Entity Id (e.g. “http://www.okta.com/exkdfdggr334”);
Active Provider Certificate (base64 encoded certificate, public)
Certificate example:

Login URL (e.g. “https://de-imaxcqrahuh5.us.auth0.com/samlp/gZv3SqCVDN2HzjZiOmWx4TpD”)
Provider Service Entity Id (optional, but must be shared if a part of Provider configuration, e.g. “133hjh”)
Provider Name (optional, e.g. “Okta“);
Provider Icon (optional, e.g. “https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/362460?s=200&v=4“).
What our users will see once the SSO is connected?
Once the SSO functionality is connected to your organisation, the following SSO extension will be available for users on the sign up page:
