Configuring SSO with OneLogin

This article explains how to setup SSO with Uptime.com as the SP and OneLogin as the IdP. Users can login to the SAML 2.0 Endpoint provided by OneLogin, or the WAYFless URL provided by Uptime.com. Either URL can be used to:

• Authenticate with Uptime.com for all account privileges associated with that login
• Create a new user if the account has user slots available 

SSO eliminates or dramatically reduces the need for multiple logins, as individuals maintain a single sign-on. 

These steps will guide you through this process.
