## OneLogin SAML Application setup

This example shows setting up a SAML application in OneLogin and connecting this to Snyk to facilitate SSO. To configure your OneLogin to use SSO with Snyk, start by obtaining an entity ID and a reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) from Snyk.

1\. From the dropdown at the top left, select **GROUP OVERVIEW** and then the cog icon (top right corner) to get to your group settings.

2\. Click on **SSO** and copy the values under **Entity ID** and **ACS URL** or leave the browser tab open for easy access.

3\. Navigate to [OneLogin](https://www.onelogin.com/), open the **applications** menu, click on **Applications**, and then on the **Add App** button on the top right.

4\. Filter by “saml” and select the **SAML Custom Connector (Advanced)** app.

5\. Enter a **Display Name** for the app, for example, Snyk. Optionally, pick an icon. You can find the Snyk logo on Snyk’s [press kit](https://snyk.io/press-kit/) page.

6\. After the app is saved, go to the configuration page and enter the **Audience** (EntityID), **ACS URL,** and ACS URL Validator. Use the ACS URL value here as well. Copy the EntityID and ACS URL from step 2.

7\. Go to the parameters section and add a new parameter, as Snyk needs the email address as the `email` attribute in the SAML response. Click the **+** icon.

For the **Field name**, use **email**. Make sure the checkbox **Include in SAML assertion** is checked. **Save**.

On the next screen, select **Email** in the **Value** dropdown list. **Save**.

Repeat the same steps for the **name** attribute.

8\. Go to the **SSO** section, download the **certificate,** and make a note of the **SAML 2.0 Endpoint (HTTP)** value.

9\. To enable the app for users, go to the **Users** > **Roles** section and **create a new role** called Snyk.\
Be sure to select the Snyk SAML app as an enabled role app. **Save**.\
Then, assign this role to all the users who should be able to use Snyk.

10\. Go back to the Snyk portal, scroll to step 2, and make a note of entering the details from step 8, including the domain(s) you wish to use over the SSO connection.\
Verify if an **IdP-initiated workflow** should be enabled and then click **Create Auth0 connection**.

11\. Scroll to step 3 and determine how new users should be treated when signing in.\
Choose the option you would like to use: **Group member, Org collaborator,** or **Org admin**.\
Finally, enter the **Profile attributes** as you configured them in OneLogin (email, name, nickname), click **Save changes,** and verify you can log in, either with the direct URL at the top of step 3 or by going to the[ generic SSO login](https://app.snyk.io/login/sso).

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/user-management/single-sign-on-sso-for-authentication-to-snyk/configure-self-serve-single-sign-on-sso/onelogin-saml-application-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
