Configuring third-party authentication

By default, you can log in to Databand Self-Hosted with the username and password that your Databand administrator created for you. For greater security and ease of use, you can enable third-party authentication.

Note: You must have the role of Owner to configure SSO in Databand.

To configure third-party authentication in Databand:

  1. Configure private certificate authority if your organization uses its own certificate authority.
  2. Complete the configuration steps for your specific authentication provider. See Authenticating with SAML or Authenticating with Kerberos.
  3. Configure SSO in the Databand UI.

Configuring SSO in the Databand UI

After you configure your authentication provider, create an SSO configuration in the Databand UI:

  1. Go to the Databand UI and navigate to Settings > Organization > SSO configuration and provide the following details:
    Provider name
    The SAML provider that you want to use. Choose one of the existing options, or choose Other to use a provider that is not listed. Enter a name that helps you identify this provider, such as Red Hat SSO.
    Entity ID
    The URL that your SAML provider uses to authenticate and identify your account.
    Metadata URL
    A link to the metadata file that SAML uses to confirm the account information that you provided. This URL must be provided in the format https://*****.com/****.
  2. Click Next.
  3. Copy the redirect URL and paste it back into your identity provider.
  4. Click Save.

You can now use SAML SSO to log in to Databand.
