Enabling SAML for Envoy

  1. Go to Apps > Directory and SSO.

  2. Select "Directory Settings" if you have not previously installed a directory app.

  3. Locate SAML and click “Install”.

  4. Enter the fingerprint from your IdP in the Fingerprint field.

(Optional) Set SAML to required

Tip: If you'd like to configure SAML as required, we recommend first setting up SAML as optional and testing with a small group of users. Once you're sure SAML is working properly for your users, switch it to required.

  1. Go to Apps > Directory and SSO.

  2. Locate SAML and click “Configure”.

  3. Enter your IdP HTTP SAML URL in the Identity Provider HTTP SAML URL field.

  4. Toggle “Required” to the “on” position.

Note: Global admins will always be able to authenticate with a password regardless of if requiring SAML is on or off.
