This connector is now in Deprecated status. It is no longer available for new users and is not actively maintained. We will provide a minimum six-month notice before its retirement. We recommend upgrading to the newer supported version of this connector.

This tutorial shows how you can configure the SAML Deprecated connector for SSO using Auth0 authentication.

Step 2: Installing the SAML Auth0 connector in Flow

  1. Install the SAML connector for use with Auth0. Refer to Installing the SAML Deprecated connector for guidance. During installation, use the following values:

    • Login URL: Paste the "User access URL" (you have the Identity Provider Login URL value already saved from the previous step). For example, https://your\_user.eu.auth0.comsamlp/diIaEInPnP37Sf123456.

    • Certificate: Create an Encrypted value but leave it empty for now.

    • Assertion Consumer Service (URL): Enter https://flow.manywho.com/api/run/1/saml

    • Identifier of the IdP entity (URI): Enter the IdP Issuer value from your SAML web app.

    • Identifier of the SP entity (URI): Enter http://localhost

    • No XML Validation: Set to False

    • Debug: Set to False (can be set to True if debug is needed, but it should be always False at production)

    • Supported Users: Leave this field empty.

    • Supported Groups: Leave this field empty.

  2. Save the connector.
