A new, next generation Single Sign-On, currently used by other components of the Flexera Cloud Platform. Flexera SaaS Manager has a new login and SSO experience that is consistent with other components of the Flexera Cloud Platform and solely powered by Flexera. What is changing? We are rolling out a new, next generation Single Sign-On (SSO), currently used by other components of the Flexera Cloud Platform, for Flexera SaaS Manager. This change eliminates the need to use a third-party provider for SAML sign-in. How does this affect me? You may not be able to login with your password or SSO settings. Based on how it is set up in your organization, you may have to follow one of these two approaches for uninterrupted login:
If your organization does not use SSO to login, all the Flexera SaaS Manager users will have to reset their password to log back in normally. Once you browse to the portal (https://my.metasaas.com/), you will be asked to enter your email and password. On this screen, click the Reset Password link and follow the instructions to reset your password. Once your password is reset, you will be able to log in and access the portal.
If your organization uses SSO to sign in, an Administrator will have to reset his/her password and provide a trust relationship in both your Organization’s SSO and the Flexera SaaS Manager’s SSO settings.
