How to configure Auth0 SAML SSO

 Auth0 SAML SSO features

  • Identity Provider Initiated SSO (IdP-initiated) 

  • Service Provider Initiated SSO (SP-initiated)

  • Just-in-Time (JIT) user creation is not supported. You can provision users via SCIM on Calendly’s Enterprise plan.

 

How to configure Auth0 SAML SSO

Before you start…

  • SAML SSO is only available on Calendly’s Enterprise plan. To learn more, contact your Account Executive or Calendly Sales.

  • To configure SAML SSO, you must be a Calendly owner or admin.

  • You must use the same email address in Calendly and Auth0.

  • During setup, you’ll switch between Calendly and Auth0. It’s best to keep each platform open in a separate browser window.

  7. Select Create.
  8. Select Settings.
  9. Scroll to the bottom and select Advanced Settings.
  10. Select Grant Types.
  11. Deselect all selections. (Note: You won't be using OAuth2, so none of the selections are needed for this Auth0 application.)
  12. Select Save Changes.

  5. In Auth0, at Identity Provider Certificate, select Download Auth0 certificate.
  6. In Calendly, select Upload certificate. Locate and enter the certificate downloaded from Auth0.
  7. At Session duration, set the appropriate value for your organization's security policies.
  8. Select Save & continue.

4. Add Calendly details to Auth0

  1. In Auth0, select Settings.
  2. In Calendly, copy the ACS URL and paste it into the Application Callback URL field in Auth0.

    { "audience": "{Audience URL}", "mappings": { "given_name": "firstName", "family_name": "lastName", "email": "email" }, "passthroughClaimsWithNoMapping": false, "mapUnknownClaimsAsIs": true, "signatureAlgorithm": "rsa-sha256", "digestAlgorithm": "sha256", "signResponse": true, "nameIdentifierProbes": [ "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress" ] }

  1. In Calendly, select Test connection. If successful, you'll see a confirmation.

7. Enforce Auth0 SSO for your organization

Note: If your organization has any application restrictions for users, update those rules so the appropriate users can use Calendly.

  1. In Calendly, select Enforce SAML SSO for my organization.

Once SSO is enforced, all users will be logged out and will need to use Auth0 SSO to log back in to Calendly. Only the organization owner and admins can log in using their original log in method by selecting Log in using another method on the login page.
