Enable and integrate SAML authentication#

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for the exchange of authentication and authorization data between parties. It is commonly supported by enterprise authentication systems. SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) gives you access to MKE through a SAML 2.0-compliant identity provider.

MKE uses the standard SAML protocol, and thus the software supports many identity providers, including:

To integrate SAML authentication into MKE:

  1. Configure the Identity Provider (IdP).

  2. In the left-side navigation panel, navigate to user name > Admin Settings > Authentication Authorization.

  3. Create (Edit) Teams to link with the Group memberships. This updates team membership information when a user signs in with SAML.

Note

If LDAP integration is enabled, refer to Use LDAP in conjunction with SAML for information on using SAML in parallel with LDAP.
