SSO Integration

Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0 centralizes your team's authentication. This allows users to access the Pulsetic dashboard using your organization's existing Identity Provider (IdP), enhancing security and simplifying user management.

Here is how to configure SSO for your account using the new interface.

Step-by-Step Configuration

Step 1: Access SSO Settings

1. Log in to your Pulsetic dashboard.
2. Navigate to Account in the left sidebar.
3. On the Your Account page, select the Security tab.

Step 2: Application Setup

This section establishes your organization’s identity within Pulsetic and generates the unique identifiers required by your IdP.

• Company name: Enter a unique name for your application.

Step 3: Identity Provider Setup

Copy the values generated in this section and paste them into your Identity Provider when creating the SAML application.

• Single sign on URL: The URL where the application expects to receive the authentication token.
• Audience URI (SP Entity ID): The unique ID that identifies Pulsetic to your Identity Provider.
• Default RelayState: Instructs the application where to redirect users (e.g., the Monitors dashboard) after successful authentication.

Here are some quick setup guides for popular providers:

• If you use Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD): Add an Enterprise Application & Set up SSO (Microsoft Docs)
• If you use Google Workspace: Set up your own custom SAML application (Google Support)

Step 4: SAML Authentication

Once you have created the app in your IdP, take the details they provide and enter them here to complete the connection. (Note: You can save the sections above first and return to complete this one later).

• SAML 2.0 Endpoint (HTTP): Enter your SAML 2.0 Endpoint. This is the URL where users are directed to log in.
• Identity Provider Issuer: The IdP Entity ID for the service you use.
• Public Certificate: Copy and paste your entire x.509 certificate here.

Step 5: SAML Attributes

Define the specific attribute names your Identity Provider sends for user profile fields.

• First Name SAML Attribute: (e.g., givenname )
• Last Name SAML Attribute: (e.g., surname )

Step 6: Finalize & Test

Once all information is entered across all tabs, click the Update button to activate the integration.
