Setting Up Single Sign-On with OneLogin 🔐

📣 Because this process is a bit technical, we highly recommend getting your IT team to help you with the setup.

Ready to make logging into Haystack a breeze for your team? By using OneLogin SSO, your users will never have to remember an extra password. Plus, you get a central control panel to manage their access to Haystack. It's a win-win!

Step 1: Create a SAML Application in OneLogin

First, you'll need to create a new SAML application within your OneLogin account.

  • Start by customizing the app with a name (like "Haystack") and your company logo.

Step 2: Configure Your SAML Application

Now, fill in the specific details to connect OneLogin with Haystack.

  • Subdomain: Replace "staging" in the URLs with your unique Haystack subdomain.

  • Settings: Enter the necessary details, including the Audience URL, ACS URL, and other SAML settings provided in your dashboard.

Step 3: Copy the Issuer URL (for IDP metadata)

This is the key that links everything together!

  • On the SSO tab of your SAML app, copy the Issuer URL. Keep this URL on your clipboard; you'll need it in the next step.

📌 Good to know: If you don't have an Admin in Haystack yet, our team can do this step for you! Just pass us the Issuer URL, and we'll take care of it.

Step 4: Complete the SSO Setup in Haystack

You're in the home stretch!

  • Head to your Haystack Admin Console and select User Provision and Login.

  • Paste the Issuer URL you just copied into the IDP Metadata URL field.

⚠️ Important: Ensure the Metadata XML field is left completely empty.

  • Why? Providing both can cause configuration conflicts. Additionally, pasting XML manually can sometimes introduce "hidden characters" (like non-breaking spaces) that will cause the connection to fail.

  • Save your changes. Once saved, you can check the users and groups assigned to the app to ensure everything is connected properly.

And that's it! Your single sign-on with OneLogin is now configured. Your team can simply click the "Continue with OneLogin" button to log in.

You're all set! Go enjoy that centralized control.
