Configuring SSO
Updated over a week ago

๐Ÿ›  This article provides the steps to request a Single Sign-On configuration with Botify, available with a Botify Enterprise plan.

Overview

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication technology that improves security and simplifies sysadmin operations. Botify SSO provides Sign-in and Sign-up authentication and is included in all Botify Enterprise plans.

Requesting an SSO Configuration

To configure SSO, please provide your account manager with the following information:

  • The name of your identity provider.

  • The organization name (group/company name).

  • The domain name(s) that will be authorized to connect via SSO.

  • (Optional) The login cookie duration (the Botify default is 8 hours).

Botify Support will provide you with a Setup link to configure SSO. When you have the link, simply select your provider and indicate your connection URLs. A connection test is available at the end of the procedure to confirm that everything is correctly configured.

Requirements by Identity Provider

The following are additional requirements for these identity providers. If you use one of these identity providers, please refer to their additional requirements when setting up SSO.

FAQs

Is SSO enforced at the account level?

Yes. Once SSO is enforced, all users on the account must log in with their identity provider. Logging in with a classic email and password will no longer work.

Can we revert to the classic authentication (Botify username and password)?

Yes. Usernames (emails) and existing account passwords are only deactivated, not deleted.

Can external or guest accounts still access our projects?

No. You must create new credentials for these users because they must be in the company directory.

Is it possible to choose an alternative company name for increased security?

Yes. A secret company name can be set up or updated by Support.

How does Botify manage SAML requests? Is Botify compliant with security standards?

Yes, Botify is compliant with security standards. We partner with a company specializing in SAML management to provide SSO features.
