Describes how to log in to SASE Orchestrator using Single Sign On (SSO) as an Operator user.

To login into SASE Orchestrator using the SSO as an Operator user:

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have configured the SSO authentication in SASE Orchestrator.
  • Ensure you have set up users, roles, and OIDC application for the SSO in your preferred IDPs.

    For more information, see Authentication.

    Note: If other authentication mechanisms fail, there must always be a native Operator Superuser as a system fallback.

Procedure

  1. In a web browser, launch the SASE Orchestrator application as an Operator user.
  2. Click Sign In With Your Identity Provider.
  3. In the Organization Domain text box, enter the domain name used for the SSO configuration and click Sign In.
    The IdP configured for the SSO authenticates the user and redirects the user to the configured SASE Orchestrator URL.
    Note: Once the users log in to the SASE Orchestrator using the SSO, they are not allowed to log in again as native users.

This makes it easier for the user to learn our product without having to navigate to another site for guidance or contact the Support Team.
