How to Configure Single Sign-On with OneLogin
For the security of your SaaS-based infrastructure and the convenience of users in your organization, the ThousandEyes service offers login via single sign-on (SSO). ThousandEyes supports SAML2-based identity providers for single sign-on. There are two steps to set up single sign-on: the service provider configuration, which is done within ThousandEyes, and the identity provider configuration, done within your SSO system. In this configuration example, we use OneLogin as the identity provider.
Configuration is normally simple. Here's what you need:
- ThousandEyes account assigned a role with the Edit security & authentication settings permission
Follow these steps to configure your ThousandEyes organisation to use single sign-on:
- 1.Log into ThousandEyes using an account with a role that has the Edit security & authentication settings permission
- 2.Open the Settings > Accounts page and click the Security & Authentication tab
- 3.Check the Enable Single Sign-On box
- 4.Configure the Setup Single Sign-On fields according to the following settings and click the Save button:Login Page URLLogout Page URLOptional, see belowIdentity Provider IssuerService Provider IssuerVerification CertificateThe certificate downloaded from Step 5 in the Identity Provider configuration section below
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Service Provider Issuer field reflects the value set by the identity provider in the AudienceRestriction element of the SAML response. Any mismatch, including a protocol mismatch (http vs https) will cause the request to be rejected.
NOTE: The Logout Page URL is optional. If used, the URL should point to the page you wish your users to see when logging out of ThousandEyes.
