SAML Single Sign On

This guide shows you how to setup a SSO using SAML Identity Provider (IDP).
Configuring SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) for your Edgio account lets you and all your teammates login to Edgio using the credentials stored in your organization’s SAML Identity Provider (IDP).
Note: If you don’t have SAML enabled on your Edgio team, reach out to support to enable it.

Setup

Edgio currently supports SAML SSO setup via a SAML metadata discovery URL. This setup process will combine configuration in your Edgio team account as well as your SAML provider.

Enable SAML Single Sign on in Edgio

  1. Login to your existing Edgio account and change to your team.
  2. Navigate to team settings.
  3. Find the SAML section and click ENABLE SAML SSO
  1. Get SAML metadata url from your Identity Provider (IDP). (See instructions below)
  2. Enter SAML metadata url and click Save
  1. After you’ve successfully saved the metadata configuration, click Verify button to link your current account and test the configuration

Disable other sign-in methods

Once you have verified the configuration and it appears to be working, then you can disable all other sign-in methods for SSO users.

Linking existing team members

When you already have team members in your team, they can still login to existing account with any sign-in method. They need to link their account to the SAML provider. Accounts can be linked from their user settings My Account page.
