SAML Identity Provider Configuration Settings

These are the settings used to configure a SAML identity provider (IdP):

post-back URL

Also called Assertion Consumer Service URL is:

https://YOUR_DOMAIN/login/callback?connection=YOUR_CONNECTION_NAME

The ID of the service provider is:

urn:auth0:YOUR_TENANT:YOUR_CONNECTION_NAME (default)

Use connection.options.entityId if available. You can obtain this value using the Get a Connection endpoint:

cURL
C#
Go
Java
Node.JS
Obj-C
...
- PHP
- Python
- Ruby
- Swift

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/v2/connections/CONNECTION_ID' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'

Replace the ACCESS_TOKEN header value, with a Management APIv2 access token.

Also called the Protocol Binding, is sent to the IdP from Auth0. If possible, dynamically set the value based on connection.options.protocolBinding:

`connection.options.protocolBinding` value	SAML Request Binding value
Empty value ("") or not present	`HTTP-Redirect`
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect`	`HTTP-Redirect`
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST`	`HTTP-POST`

If dynamically setting the value isn't possible, then set as either HTTP-Redirect (default) or HTTP-Post if you selected this option in Protocol Binding.

How the SAML token is received by Auth0 from IdP, set as HTTP-Post.

Unspecified.

The SAML assertion, and the SAML response can be individually or simultaneously signed.

This is where the SAML identity provider will send logout requests and responses:

https://YOUR_DOMAIN/logout

SAML logout requests must be signed by the identity provider.

Use the following links to obtain the public key in different formats:

Download the certificate in the format requested by the IdP.

See Configure SAML IdP-Initiated Single Sign-On for details.

Some SAML identity providers can accept importing metadata directly with all the required information. You can access the metadata for your connection in Auth0 here:

https://YOUR_DOMAIN/samlp/metadata?connection=YOUR_CONNECTION_NAME
