SSO allows members of your organisation to access HINDSITE using their company credentials.
HINDSITE supports SAML 2.0 compatible identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, Google Workspace and others.
To configure SSO, navigate to Settings then click on Identify Provider.
Service Provider Configuration
You'll need to register HINDSITE as an application in your identity provider.
This includes:
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service)
Service-provider Entity ID
Service Provider Metadata
Import from Your Identity Provider
If your identity provider provides a Metadata URL, you can paste it into the IdP Metadata URL field and select Fetch and Fill.
HINDSITE will automatically populate the required identity provider settings.
Identity Provider Details
If automatic import isn't available, you can manually configure your identity provider settings.
The required fields are:
Identity-provider Entity ID
Sign-in URL
NameID Format
Signing Certificate(s)
These values are supplied by your identity provider.
SSO Enforcement
Once SSO has been configured, choose how it should be enforced for members of your organisation.
There are three enforcement options available:
Enforcement Option | Description |
Optional | SSO is available but not required. Users can choose to sign in using SSO or continue using their HINDSITE email address and password. |
Required for all members | Every member of your organisation must sign in using SSO. Users will no longer be able to authenticate using a HINDSITE password, and password management is handled entirely by your identity provider. |
Required for members of specific email domains | Require SSO only for users whose email address matches one or more specified domains.
For example:
|
The Required for members of specific email domains option is ideal when work can be done by a mix of internal employees and external users such as contractors, customers or suppliers. Internal employees can continue to use your identity provider, while external users can create and manage their own HINDSITE passwords.
