Set up SAML SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace)

Standard SAML 2.0 — paste IdP metadata, we verify every assertion against your cert.

Open /settings/sso. You'll see two sections: "Paste into your IdP" (gives you our SP details) and "Paste IdP details here" (where you give us yours).

On your IdP (Okta / Azure / Google / OneLogin / JumpCloud / Rippling), create a new SAML application with these values: - ACS URL (POST): https://governos.co/api/saml/acs?tenant=<your-tenant-id> — the page shows the exact URL with your id pre-filled - SP Entity ID: https://governos.co/sso/<your-tenant-id> - NameID format: EmailAddress - Required attributes: email, name

Then on our side: paste your IdP's Entity ID, SSO URL, and x509 cert (PEM). Save, then toggle Enabled.

What we verify on every assertion: the XML signature (RSA-SHA256) against your stored cert, the issuer matches, the NotOnOrAfter hasn't expired. Failed checks reject the assertion with no session issued.

SCIM provisioning: in the same page, click "Rotate SCIM token" to get a one-shot bearer token to paste into your IdP. We support RFC 7644 user create/update/disable.
