Manage User Authentication

Cisco Secure Access uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to authenticate and authorize secure internet connections from user devices on networks and network tunnels. Secure Access also requires the integration with a SAML identity provider (IdP) for user connections with Secure Access Zero Trust Access (ZTA) to private destinations. To support single sign-on (SSO) authentication, you must configure the integration of an SAML identity provider (IdP) in Secure Access.

As an administrator, configure SSO authentication for connections through the Secure Access Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and with Zero Trust Access.

For information about provisioning users and groups, see Manage Provisioning.

Configure User Authentication Integrations

Set up SSO authentication for secure internet and zero trust connections to Secure Access. Add SAML IdPs in Secure Access. For each SAML IdP integration, add a configured provisioning IdP. The provisioning IdP manages the syncs of the users and groups from the IdP to Secure Access. For more information, see Configure Integrations with SAML Identity Providers.
