# Choosing allowable SAML bindings (SAML 2.0)

On the **Allowable SAML Bindings** tab, you select the one or more bindings that your service provider (SP) partner can use to send SAML authentication requests or single logout (SLO) messages.

## Before you begin

For prerequisites and initial steps for configuring Browser SSO protocols, see [Configuring protocol settings](help_spbrowserssotasklet_spprotocolsettingsstate.html).

## About this task

This step applies only to SAML 2.0 connections when the SP-initiated SSO profile or either SLO profile is selected on the **SAML Profiles** tab.

## Steps

1. On the **Allowable SAML Bindings** tab, select the applicable SAML bindings based on your partner agreement.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                     |
   | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If you have specified an Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) or SLO endpoint using the artifact (outbound) binding, you must including SOAP as one of the allowable (inbound) binding. |

2. Click **Next** to save changes and proceed to **Artifact Resolver Locations**. For more information, see [Specifying artifact resolver locations (SAML 2.0)](help_spprotocolsettingstasklet_artifactconfigstate.html).

## Result

If you are editing an existing connection, you can reconfigure the allowable bindings, which might require additional configuration changes in subsequent tasks.
