Admins can allow users to access multiple cloud applications that support SAML 2.0 configuration right from their account, using single sign-on (SSO) with Zoho Vault. This helps admins enhance their organization's security and simplify user management.
Zoho Vault uses the secure, industry-standard Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to make this possible. Zoho Vault currently supports SSO for hundreds of pre-defined, popular applications. Admins can also manually configure SSO for any service provider that supports SAML 2.0, and add them as custom apps.
Administrators configure SSO for various applications in Zoho Vault by providing the service provider (application) details and defining the list of Zoho Vault users that can access the applications. Zoho Vault acts as the identity provider (IdP), while the corresponding application acts as the service provider (SP). Users access these applications from the Apps page of their Zoho Vault account, and are directly logged in to their applications, eliminating manual authentication altogether. Follow the steps below to configure Single Sign-On for any application.
Configure the details of Zoho Vault (IdP) in the application (SP) to set up SSO with the application. You can either copy the required details manually, or download them as a metadata file to upload in the application's setup page. The terminologies you come across in the IdP details screen are explained below.
Click Next after configuring the IdP details in the application.
Select the users that can access the application from the next screen.
Users will now be able to view and log in to the applications they have access to, from the Apps page.
You can configure single sign-on for multiple apps using More Actions. Read the table below for a list of bulk operations available in Zoho Vault. All bulk operations will be recorded under the Audit tab.
