Single Sign On (SSO) Support in CentreStack via SAML

Image
When it comes to Single Sign On support via SAML, there are always two parties. One is the IdP (the identity provider)  and the other is SP (service provider). In this documentation, the IdP will be a public IdP such as SSOCircle and the SP will be CentreStack. The SSOCircle is used as an example to set up the IdP, it can work with other IdP as well. On the CentreStack side, it is a multi-tenant system and each tenant may want to have its own SSO service. So the Single Sign On is a per-tenant setting. You can find the Single Sign On at the tenant manager section, under group policy and then "Single Sign On".
