Connect SAML
Learn how to configure a new Generic SAML SSO Connection
Introduction
Each SSO Identity Provider requires specific information to create and configure a new Connection. Often, the information required to create a Connection will differ by Identity Provider.
To create a Generic SAML Connection, you'll need four pieces of information: an ACS URL, an IdP URI (also known as an Entity ID), an IdP SSO URL, and an X.509 Certificate.
WorkOS provides the ACS URL. It's readily available in your Connection's Settings in the Developer Dashboard.

The ACS URL is the location an Identity Provider redirects its authentication response to.
And then, you provide the IdP URI (Entity ID), IdP SSO URL, as well as the X.509 Certificate.
Normally, this information will come from your Enterprise customer's IT Management team when they set up your application's SAML 2.0 configuration in their Identity Provider admin dashboard. But, should that not be the case during your setup, here's how to obtain them.
