SAML
This section provides a detailed overview of Aspera on Cloud SAML support. It also
contains step-by-step procedures to integrate your SAML SSO into AoC. For those using the OKTA IdP,
find here a procedure to configure OKTA to provide SAML-based user authentication for Aspera on
Cloud.
Configuring SAML: Overview
Aspera on Cloud administrators can configure Aspera on Cloud to support SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 2.0 authentication for your users. When a user attempts to sign in to Aspera on Cloud using SAML, Aspera on Cloud redirects the user to the identity provider (IdP) sign-on URL. The user signs in to the IdP with their SAML credentials, and the IdP sends a SAML assertion to Aspera on Cloud; Aspera on Cloud then grants access to the SAML user.
Configuring SAML: Procedures
This article contains step-by-step procedures for configuring SAML authentication for your organization, including default SAML workspaces and shared inboxes, SAML metadata on the IdP, and SAML groups. Also included is how to configure the AoC login page with specific instructions to guide SAML users and avoid improper login actions.
Configuring SAML SSO using OKTA
OKTA is an identity provider (IdP) that supports SAML; an AoC administrator can configure OKTA to provide SAML-based user authentication for Aspera on Cloud.
