Setting up SSO

Introduction​

This technical documentation provides step-by-step instructions for setting up enterprise identity providers in the Walr Platform. By integrating an identity provider, you can enable users to authenticate and access the Walr platform with Single-Sign-On using your existing enterprise credentials.

Prerequisites​

Access to your enterprise identity provider configuration (e.g., SAML metadata or Azure Active Directory details).

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)​

Accounts created within the Walr Platform without Single-Sign-On authentication will have MFA enabled through the Walr Platform authentication system.

Accounts created within the Walr Platform with Single-Sign-On authentication use your enterprise identity providers MFA solution. In this case, responsibility to enable and secure your SSO account with MFA lies with your IT department.

SAML metadata​

Provide Walr support (support@walr.com) with the following:

  • Your domain name, that will be mapped with SSO.
  • X.509 Signing Certificate from your SAML IdP (in PEM or CER format).
  • Sign In URL – SAML single login URL.
  • Sign Out URL (optional) – SAML single logout URL.
  • User ID Attribute (optional) – Attribute in the SAML token that will be mapped to the user ID in Walr platform.

Walr Support will walk through the process with you.
