Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), specifically SAML 2.0 is the protocol of choice for large organizations, health care institutions, and universities. OpenWater supports SAML authentication.
SAML is used by a lot of places and systems, here is a small list of compatible providers:
Okta
Auth0
Microsoft Active Directory
Google Suite / Google Workspaces
Microsoft 365 / Dynamics
Salesforce
Get Started with Integrations Hub
Add a new Single Sign On connector for Custom SAML
The Process URL is something you'll need to give your IT administrator. This is the ACS Url, or the SP Url, in other words this is where SAML will send the resulting successful login back to. Your IT administrator should be able to give you the Login Url, which is the IdP Url, the SAML Version (1 or 2), and the certificate. The Entity ID is typically OpenWater, but you can enter whatever entity ID used to assign.
