SAML
This section provides a detailed overview of Aspera Enterprise Webapps SAML support. It
also contains step-by-step procedures to integrate your SAML SSO into AEW. For those using the OKTA

Configuring SAML: Overview
Aspera Enterprise Webapps administrators can configure Aspera Enterprise Webapps to support SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 2.0 authentication for your users. When a user attempts to sign in to Aspera Enterprise Webapps using SAML, Aspera Enterprise Webapps 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 Enterprise Webapps; Aspera Enterprise Webapps 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 AEW 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 AEW administrator can configure OKTA to provide SAML-based user authentication for Aspera Enterprise Webapps.
