Configure a SASE SSO policy

Updated at:

To use the SASE single sign-on (SSO) feature, you must first configure an SSO policy. This policy enables authentication through an identity provider when users access your application portal. This topic explains how to configure a SASE SSO policy.

Prerequisites

You must have the redirect URL for your enterprise application.

Create a policy

  1. Log on to the SASE console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Identity Authentication > Single Sign-on.

  3. On the Single Sign-on page, click Create Policy.

  4. In the Create Policy panel, configure the policy settings as described in the following table.

    Parameter

    Description

    Policy Name

    Enter a name for the policy.

    The name must be 2–100 characters long and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and Chinese characters.

    Policy Status

    Specifies whether to enable the policy. Valid values:

    • Enabled: The policy takes effect only when it is enabled.

    • Disabled: You can disable the policy and enable it later when needed.

      Important

      If you disable this policy, single sign-on will fail. Proceed with caution.

    API access authorization

    Specifies the client_id and client_secret. To use single sign-on, you must enable API access and use these credentials for API authorization.

    Important

    Keep your client_secret secure. If you suspect it has been compromised, immediately delete the old secret and create a new one to rotate your credentials.

    Redirect URL

    Enter the redirect_uri for your internal enterprise application. This URL is added to an allowlist to allow SASE to send a logon request after authentication is complete.

    Application Configuration

    Provides the configuration details for your application. This includes the Issuer, Discovery Endpoint, Authorization Endpoint, Token Endpoint, Public Key Endpoint, and UserInfo Endpoint.

    Provide these values when configuring your identity provider.

  5. Click OK.

    The new policy appears in the policy list.

Next steps

After creating the single sign-on policy, you must also complete the corresponding configuration in your identity provider. The specific steps vary depending on your identity provider.

If your company uses business applications integrated with IDaaS and you want to use SASE SSO, see Best practices for logging on to an IDaaS application by using SASE SSO.

After the identity provider is successfully connected, enterprise users can log on to the SASE client to access internal enterprise applications. For instructions, see Install and log on to the SASE client.

To further control user access permissions, you can use the private access feature. For more information, see Configure office applications.

Edit and delete a policy

You can perform the following operations as needed:

  • Edit: Click Edit. In the Edit panel, you can view the information of the specified policy or modify the related configurations.

  • Delete: Click Delete to remove the policy.

    Important

    Deleting a single sign-on policy prevents users from accessing internal enterprise applications. Proceed with caution.
