SAML Single Sign-On Integration

Business teams can add SAML single sign-on to allow users to log in to MeisterTask using your organization’s custom identity profile. SAML also gives team admins the ability to enable and disable the login functionality for their employees.

What is SAML?

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based framework for authentication and authorization between two entities: a Service Provider and an Identity Provider.

SAML is an open standard mostly used for Single Sign-On (SSO). Authentication information is exchanged through digitally signed XML documents. It's a complex single sign-on (SSO) implementation that enables seamless authentication, mostly between businesses and enterprises.

With SAML, you don't have to worry about typing in authentication credentials or remembering and resetting passwords.

Setup a Customized Domain for SAML

As a team admin, in order to enable the SAML Single Sign-on integration, you first need to set a customized login domain:

From MeisterTask's Dashboard click your avatar in the top-right corner.
Click Account from the drop-down menu.
Select My Team on the left.
Click Settings.
Make sure you're on the General tab.
Under Team Details, customize the domain name in the Login Domain.
Scroll to the bottom of the page.
Click Save Changes.

Configure Single Sign-On Integration

From MeisterTask's Dashboard click your avatar in the top-right corner.
Click Account from the drop-down menu.
Select My Team on the left.
Click Settings.
Select the Sign Up tab.
Scroll to SAML Single Sign-On.
Click the checkbox beside Enable SSO with third party identity provider.
Click Upload Identity Provider Metadata.
Upload your identity provider's metadata XML file.
Click Save changes - Once you save the changes, your account will support SAML Single Sign-on authentication through your identity provider. You can find the login links in the SAML Single Sign-On section.
