Configure SSO

Configure SSO

SSO via SAML involves Zoho trusting the assertions provided by your Identity Provider (IdP) to grant access to your users. This trust must be established by configuring SAML at your IdP and at Zoho.
Steps involved in configuring SAML for your Zoho account:
  1. Obtain the login URL, logout URL, and the base 64 encoded certificate from your IdP. Learn how to obtain those URLs from your IdP.
  2. Sign in to your Zoho account as an administrator and configure SAML under Settings.
  3. Save the configuration and download the metadata file from Zoho. The metadata file will contain the ACS URL, Service provider logout URL, entity ID, and the Zoho certificate (if logout response is enabled). 
  4. Upload this metadata file to your IdP to finish the configuration.
