Configuring Single Sign-On

Procedure

1. Go to Administration → End User Management → Logon Methods.
2. In the Single Sign-On section, click the toggle button to enable SSO.
3. Click Add to create an SSO profile.
4. Configure general information for SSO.
   1. Specify an SSO profile name.
   2. Specify an identifier that is globally unique at your site.
      The End User Console URL is generated.

      If you have to change the unique identifier due to conflict with another identifier, make sure you also change it in your identity provider configuration.
5. Select the domains to which the current profile applies:
   • All domains: applies this profile to all domains.

     Note You can create only one profile that is applied to all domains.

   • Specified domains: applies this profile to specified domains.
     Select domains from the Available pane and click Add > to add them to the Selected pane.
6. Complete identity provider configuration for SSO.
   1. Select your identity provider from the Identity provider drop-down list.
   2. Specify the logon and logoff URLs for your identity provider.

      Note Use the logon URL collected from AD FS, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta configurations. The logoff URL logs you off and also terminates the current identity provider logon session.

   3. (For Okta only) Click Download Logoff Certificate to obtain the certificate file to upload to your federation server.
   4. (Optional) Enable signature validation.

      Note A signature is returned from the identity provider server during SSO. To avoid forgery logon by attackers, the signature must be checked against the certificate file you obtained from your identity provider.

      1. Click the Signature validation toggle button.
      2. Locate the certificate file you downloaded from AD FS, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta configurations and upload it for signature validation.
   5. Specify the identity claim type based on the claim you configured for AD FS, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. For example, if you use email as the claim name, type email.
   6. (Optional) Enable SSO management by group.

      Note If you enable this function, only end users with valid email addresses in the specified group can be logged on to the End User Console through SSO:

      1. Click the Group allow list toggle button.
      2. Specify the group claim type based on the group claim you configured for AD FS, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. For example, if you use euc_group as the group attribute name, type euc_group.
      3. Specify group claim values based on the group claim you configured for AD FS, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. If your identity provider is AD FS or Okta, type group names; if your identity provider is Microsoft Entra ID, type group IDs.
7. Click Save to save the profile.
8. Click Save to save SSO settings.
   Once you have completed the configuration, an end user can log on using the End User Console URL generated in Step 4 to initiate SSO from the identity provider to the End User Console. The identity claim type and group claim type specified in Step 6 are used to get the mapping claim values from your identity provider. In this case, Cloud Email Gateway Protection obtains the email address and user group of the logon account to verify the identity of the end user. Once verified, the end user will be successfully logged on to the End User Console.
