Setting Up an Identity Provider for Flexera One

Important:To add a new identity provider, you must have the Administrative privileges in your organization’s identity provider and one of the following Flexera One roles: Manage organization or Administer organization. For complete descriptions of each role available in Flexera One, see Flexera One Roles.

Flexera One can act as a SAML 2.0 service provider to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for your organization.

To enable SSO, sign in to an external SAML 2.0 identity provider of your choice such as:

ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services)
Azure AD (Active Directory)
Google
Okta
OneLogin
PingOne

The Flexera One Identity Providers user interface (available within the Administration module) helps you configure your identity provider to respond to authentication requests from Flexera One. If your identity provider vendor has an application dashboard, you may also end up with a button that your users can employ to perform identity provider-initiated sign in to Flexera One.
