Configuring SSO authentication
Go to the Vulcan Platform > Settings > Authentication
Follow the instructions on the SSO configuration page. Also available here:
Setup the SSO configuration on the identity provider platform and generate the metadata XML file. Click on the relevant identity provider below for instructions:
Check the "Enable SAML authentication for this environment".
Upload the generated XML file to the Vulcan Platform.
Check the "Enforce SSO" box to enforce SSO as the only login option for all users (optional).

If disabled (left unchecked), users can log in to the Vulcan Platform using either SSO or username and password.
Click Save.
