SAML

Edition: Enterprise

Docmost supports authentication via the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0), allowing integration with identity providers (IdPs) that support the SAML protocol.

How to configure SAML 2.0

  1. Navigate to Security Settings

    • Go to SettingsSecurity & SSO in your Docmost dashboard.
  2. Create a New SSO Integration

    • Click on the "Create SSO" button.
    • Select "SAML" from the dropdown menu. This opens a configuration popup.
  3. Configure Your SAML Integration

    • Provide a descriptive Display Name for this integration (e.g., "Company SAML SSO").
  4. Configure Your Identity Provider (IdP)

    • From Docmost, copy the following fields into your IdP’s configuration:
      • Entity ID: Docmost’s unique identifier provided in the configuration popup.
      • Callback URL (ACS): Assertion Consumer Service URL provided by Docmost.

    Ensure these URLs are correctly configured in your Identity Provider settings.

  5. Enter Your Identity Provider (IdP) Details in Docmost

    • IDP Login URL: Paste the login URL from your IdP, which users will be redirected to for authentication.
    • IDP Certificate: Paste your IdP’s public X.509 certificate text.
  6. Additional Configuration Options

    • To automatically provision users on first login, enable the "Allow Signup" option.
    • Activate this integration immediately by toggling "Enabled".
  7. Save Your Configuration

    • Click "Save" to finalize your settings.

Once successfully configured, your SAML 2.0 provider will appear on Docmost's login page, allowing users to authenticate via your configured Identity Provider.
