Overview

Schedly offers a powerful single sign-on integration using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), which allows users to authenticate securely with their organization's identity providers. This integration is designed for organizations that prioritize seamless access and security, providing an efficient login experience and reducing password-related security risks.

Prerequisites

  • You must have admin access to Schedly to configure SAML SSO settings.
  • Ensure your organization uses a supported SAML identity provider.
  • Access to the identity provider’s setup documentation and configuration settings.

  4. Select SAML from the authentication options.
  5. Enter the SAML Identity Provider (IdP) URL and the x.509 Certificate obtained from your identity provider.

Setting Up Identity Providers for SAML

  1. Access your identity provider’s admin portal.

Ensuring Secure Authentication with SAML
