SAML Authentication

QMetry supports SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) for secure single sign-on (SSO) authentication. SAML is an XML-based standard that enables the exchange of authentication and authorization data between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP).

By integrating SAML, administrators allow users to log in to QMetry using a single set of credentials across applications, eliminating the need for separate passwords. Currently, QMetry supports Okta as the SAML provider.

What QMetry Supports?

QMetry supports SP-Initiated SSO. Select this option when a federation request asks how the federation journey is initiated.

SP-Initiated SSO is the recommended option.

Certificate

QMetry supports Self Signed certificates. Select this option when a federation request asks for the certificate type.

The certificate must be SHA-256 compliant.

Workload scenario

QMetry runs as a Containerised workload on AWS. Select this option when a federation request asks whether your workload matches one of the pre-defined scenarios.
