# Configure Egnyte for SSO

## About this task

To proceed with configuring Egnyte for SSO, you will require the below details from PingFederate.

* Identity provider login URL

  * Example: https\://*\<pf\_hostname>*:*\<pf\_port>*/idp/SSO.saml2

* Identity provider entity ID

  * This is the SAML 2.0 Entity ID from PingFederate, which can be found on the **Server Configuration > Server Settings > Federation Info** screen. For more information, see [Specifying federation information](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_protocolsettingstasklet_federationinfostate.html).

* Identity provider certificate

  * This is the public signing certificate from PingFederate used to sign the SAML assertion (configured in your SP connection). For more information, see [Manage digital signing certificates and decryption keys](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_certmanagementtasklet_dsigsigningcert_certmanagementstate.html).

The following section describes the steps to configure SSO in Egnyte. For more information, see [Single Sign-On (SSO) Configuration](https://helpdesk.egnyte.com/hc/en-us/articles/201638954-Single-Sign-On-SSO-Configuration).

|   | For users to sign in through SAML SSO, their authType attribute must be set to 'sso'. The authType attribute may be set when the user is provisioned or by an administrator on the user's profile under **Settings > Configuration > Users & Groups**. For more information, see [Supported attributes reference](pf_egnyte_connector_supported_attributes_reference.html). |

## Steps

1. Log in to your Egnyte subdomain as an administrative user for your organization.

2. Navigate to **Settings > Configuration > Security & Authentication**.

3. Under the **Single Sign-on Authentication** section:

   * Select SAML 2.0 as the **Single sign-on authentication** type.

   * Select PingFederate as the **Identity provider**.

   * Set the **Identity provider login URL**, **Identity provider entity ID**, and **Identity provider certificate**.

     |   |                                                                                                                                                                             |
     | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | The **Identity provider certificate** is the PEM-encoded X.509 certificate from PingFederate. Paste the entire certificate, but remove the BEGIN and END CERTIFICATE lines. |

   * Set the **Default user mapping**. The value of the SAML\_SUBJECT sent in your SP connection's attribute contract must match this mapping.

   * Optional: Set the **User domain-specific Issuer value** based on your business use.
