Custom Authentication - ADFS | Admin Guide - Zoho One

Custom authentication with ADFS

Custom authentication with ADFS enables SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) from ADFS to Zoho One. With SSO, you and your employees can sign in to ADFS and access Zoho One directly, without having to sign in to Zoho One.

To set up custom authentication with ADFS:

  1. Sign in to ADFS 3.0 server and open the Management Console.
  2. Right-click Service in the left-pane menu, then choose Edit Federation Service Properties.  
  3. Under General, ensure that your DNS entries and certificate names are correct.
  4. Using your Federation Service name, use a browser and go to "https://{federationservicename}.com/federationMetaData/2007-06/FederationMetaData.xml".
  5. The Sign-in URL and Sign-out URL are present in the XML file as SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService tags respectively.
  6. Export the Token-Signing certificate:
    1. Right-click Certificate in the left-pane menu and click View Certificate.
    2. Click the Details tab.
    3. Click Copy to File, then click Next.
    4. Make sure No, do not export the private key is selected, then click Next.
    5. Select  Base-64 encoded X.509 (.cer), then click Next.
    6. Choose where to save the file and name it.
    7. Click Next.
    8. Select Finish
  7. Submit this data to Zoho to set up SAML in Zoho One.

  8. In Configure Identifiers, choose one.zoho.com as the Relying Party Trust Identifier.
  9. In Configure Multi-factor Authentication now, choose I do not want to configure multi-factor authentication settings for this relying party trust at this time .
  10. In Choose Issuance Authorization Rules, select Permit all users to access this relying party.
  11. Click Close.

  1. Click Add Rule to create a new rule.
