What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Single Sign-On is a method of authentication that your organization can use to sign into multiple applications at once - including ContractSafe!

Your organization might already have a Single Sign-On (SSO) provider for employees to authenticate and log into multiple applications at once. If you are unsure if this is the case, please check with your internal IT department.

CautionBefore making changes to the SSO settings please make your account SSO Excluded, admin level access is required. Article on how to right Here. 


1. Before enabling SSO for your account we must ensure that your settings are properly set-up. Head to the Settings in the top right corner of the page, then navigate to Security & Integrations -> Single Sign-On Settings.

 

Note: ContractSafe, SP (service provider) is the system entity that accepts SSO via the SAML 2.0 protocol. 


2. A new small window should appear.

  • You can copy the metadata URL using the text box or copy button as shown, and give this to your identity provider:
  • Your ContractSafe ACS URL is also pre generated in case you need to provide this to your identity provider as well.
  • The third text box is your ContractSafe login URL. Bookmark this, and provide to users to login using SSO. 
  • The fourth text box is where your registered email domains will appear. Please reach out to your assigned Customer Success Manager or to support@contractsafe.com to add an email domain for use when logging in. You will not be able to add email domains on your end. 
  • The fifth and last text box is the Identity Provider Metadata URL. This is generated by your Identity Provider. 

    Note: SAML 2.0 metadata is an URL that contains the necessary information to interact with SSO providers.


    3. Once you are done with the setup you can Toggle it to ON

    If you have another SAML SSO platform, please look up the specific instructions provided by that SSO platform and reach out to us at support@contractsafe.com for assistance.

    Keep in mind that Google SSO is not the same as using Google to login to your ContractSafe account. See below for more information on how to sign in with your Google account instead:
