SAML Authentication
This page describes how to integrate an existing Identity Provider (IdP) with Kintone using SAML authentication.
When SAML authentication is enabled, users can single sign-on (SSO) into Kintone by using user accounts registered with IdPs such as Microsoft Entra ID and Okta.
IdPs That Can Be Integrated with Kintone
Kintone can be integrated with IdPs that support SAML 2.0.
When SAML authentication is enabled, Kintone acts as a Service Provider (SP) and uses SP-initiated SSO. The following bindings are used for the SAML request and SAML response:
- SAML request: HTTP Redirect Binding
- SAML response: HTTP POST Binding
Services That Support SAML Authentication
However, Kintone guests cannot use SAML authentication.
