Panther Enterprise offers SAML integration, which allows users to login via SSO providers like OneLogin, Okta, or others.
Follow these step-by-step guides to enable SAML integration with one of the following:
SAML - Security Assertion Markup Language - an open standard for exchanging authentication credentials
SSO - Single Sign-On - a central hub which allows users to share one login session with multiple services - in this context, synonymous with a SAML IdP
IdP - Identity Provider - the system which provides authentication credentials: OneLogin, Okta, or others
SP - Service Provider - the system which receives authentication credentials: in this case, Panther Enterprise
SP-initiated login flow - Panther will show a special link on the login page which, when clicked, will redirect to the IdP for login
Auto-provisioning - Panther SAML accounts are created on the first login; they do not need to be created in advance
Role integration - A single Panther Role of your choice is assigned to SAML users by default, and you can change user roles after their first login
Standard password-based logins are still supported after you enable SAML integration - users can be created and authorized in either flow.
Panther does not support the following:
IdP-initiated login flow - Users cannot login from OneLogin or Okta directly, they must navigate to the Panther login page first
SCIM - Users deleted from the IdP are not automatically deleted from Panther (they just can't login anymore)
Attribute mapping - Panther roles cannot be assigned via SAML attributes
These limitations stem from Amazon Cognito, the user management service Panther is built on.
