Setting up SSO with Mitratech HQ
What is Single Sign-On?
Single sign-on (or SSO) is a method of authentication and log-in to an application with a single set of credentials, rather than remembering multiple usernames and passwords across different software.
Mitratech HQ supports 2 SSO connectors: SAML 2.0 and Google Sign in to achieve a seamless login experience. Once users are authenticated with their organization’s identity provider, they are granted one-click access to Mitratech HQ – simple, secure, and fast!
Configuring SSO using the SAML 2.0 Standard
Setup Mitratech HQ Application within your IdP
As an admin on your SSO software, Log in to your Identity Provider (IDP). Create an "Application" within your Identity Provider via the SAML 2.0 sign-on method. Use the Single Sign-on URL and Audience URI from your settings page in Mitratech HQ. Ensure the application user name is set as "Email," and the NameID format is “Email address.”
This is an example from okta, but the user experience can vary slightly depending on the specific identity provider

Configure SSO within Mitratech HQ
-
Make sure you’re logged in as an administrator, then choose SAML from the list below
-
Add the data gathered from your IdP into HQ
Additional Considerations
-
User accounts need to be created in Mitratech HQ and activate their account before authenticating (and logging in) via the IDP. Configuring SSO only helps users login to Mitratech HQ without having to remember their Mitratech HQ credentials - but their accounts still need to be created and activated.
-
Users accessing Mitratech HQ from their IDP will automatically sign in to the application after activating their account.
-
Users accessing Mitratech HQ from links in emails will be redirected to their IdP (and signed right in, if already authenticated with your identity provider)
Configuring SSO using Google Sign In
Mitratech HQ allows you to set up authentication with Google through the OAuth 2.0 Standard.
