Editing an existing SAML setup

Rotate SAML certificates

X.509 certificates have a defined lifetime (e.g., in Google Workspace, it has a validity of 5 years). You should rotate a certificate if it's about to expire or if it becomes compromised.

If a certificate expires before you rotate it, your users won’t be able to use SSO to sign in to any SAML applications that use that certificate until you replace it with a new certificate.

To rotate the certificate:

  1. Open the SAML app in your SSO, navigate to the certificate page, and recreate it.

  2. Once you get the new certificate, please upload it to the Zluri platform.

Save the connection, and you can continue to use the SAML connection as configured.

Add/remove SAML domains

To add or remove SAML domains, go to SSO Settings, select/deselect the domains that you want to configure for SAML, then click Save.
