Beta Creates an external identity provider (IDP) configuration for the account. You can have only one configuration per account. To learn more about the single sing-on for Akamai Cloud, including emergency access accounts setup, see Single Sign-On.

Prerequisite

You need to have IDP metadata from your identity provider.

To create the IDP configuration:

1. Provide a unique label for the configuration.

2. To activate the SSO, set enabled to true.

3. Enforce SSO for all users of your account with enforce set to true. The enforcement doesn't apply to excluded users.

   📘

   Set the enforcement to false, if you want to test SSO on a small subset of users. After you create this configuration, add the included users and test the login flow. If the test is successful, enforce the SSO login for all users with the Update an IDP configuration operation.

4. Specify the SAML configuration settings with details from the IDP metadata you got from the identity provider.

There's a tutorial

We offer an example API workflow you can follow to create an IDP configuration, test it, and configure an account with emergency access.
