Vanta customers using stand-alone products such as Vendor Risk Management, Access Reviews, and Trust Center can now set up an SSO configuration independent of an IdP API integration. By leveraging the SAML connection, users will be able to login to Vanta through SSO without having to integrate Vanta fully with an identity provider.
Enabling a SAML Connection
From the left-hand navigation panel, select Settings
Select Login and security
Choose Manually configure SAML
This connection requires metadata configuration to enable as an SSO method. Refer to your IDP's documentation for further instructions:
Okta
From the Okta admin portal, select Applications and then select Browse App Catalog
Locate the Vanta SAML App, select it, and Add Integration
Return to Vanta and copy the Domain ID field. This will be needed in the next step
Back in Okta, under Applications, select the Vanta application
Select the Sign On tab and then Edit
Find Advanced Sign-on Settings and paste in the Domain ID you copied from Vanta
Select Save
From the Sign On tab, click Copy next to the Metadata URL field. You will need this for the next step
Return to the new SAML connection page in Vanta and select Edit Configuration
Paste in the Metadata URL that you copied from Okta
Jumpcloud
Log into the JumpCloud admin console: https://console.jumpcloud.com/login/admin
Click on SSO Applications on the left navigation panel
Click on + Add New Application
Search for Vanta and select it
Click Next
Optionally enter a description and then click Save Application
Back on the applications page, click on the newly created Vanta application
Click on the SSO tab
Change the ACS URLs (0) to the ACS (Consumer) Url provided by Vanta’s setup. It should look something like this: https://app.vanta.com/auth/sso/saml/:id/acs
Change the SP Entity ID field to the SP Entity ID provided by Vanta. It should look like: https://app.vanta.com/saml/:id
Click the Copy Metadata URL button in Jumpcloud
In Vanta, select Edit Configuration in the Identity Provider configuration section. Paste in the URL copied from Jumpcloud
As you configure the connection, your IDP may ask for Service provider details, and these can be found on the Manual SSO SAML configuration page in Vanta
After following the instructions from your IdP, you will be provided with a Metadata URL
Select Edit configuration from the Manual SSO SAML configuration page in Vanta
Add the Metadata URL provided by your IdP
Select Verify configuration
