What is SAML SSO?
Pre-requisites for SSO with Chime
-
Your Identity Provider (IdP) must support the SAML 2.0 standard.
-
Only Chime users with the permission "Manage User/Entire Company" enabled can configure SAML SSO for Chime. SSO is only valid for Enterprise and Multi-team packages.
Benefits of SSO
-
Streamlines user management across systems for team owners/admins.
-
Removes the need for end-users to remember and manage multiple passwords. Simplifies end-user's experience by allowing them to sign in at one single access point and enjoy a seamless experience across multiple applications.
Option to Require Login by SSO
The login method setting provides an option require all Chime users to sign into their Chime account, both website and mobile app, using Single Sign On (SSO). By default, if you have already set up SSO for your Chime account, the Login Method will be set to Any Method.
The permission to enable SSO is called the SSO Setting. You must have this permission enabled in order to enable or disable the SSO requirement.
Configuration in Chime
To configure Single Sign On in your Chime account, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the CMS tool. Within the Settings, select SSO Configuration
- Toggle the setting On to get started
- Set Application in SSO Third Party: SSO URL and SP Entity ID. Copy and paste it to your Identity Provider (IdP)
- SAML identification: An IDP metadata XML needs to be uploaded. For more information on where to obtain this file, please refer to the IDP Setup below.
After you complete the SAML SSO configuration, the users in your team can log in Chime via SMAL SSO or through their original Chime account.
