This document will use Okta as the SSO identity provider to demonstrate how to enable SAML authentication protocol for Dify Enterprise. By enabling this feature, the enterprise login page will use a unified identity authentication entry to enhance security. For enterprise internal users, there’s no need to enter complex passwords - they can log in using organizational accounts to pass verification, simplifying the login process.

  1. Access the Okta administrator backend page, navigate to the Applications page, and click the Create App Integration button.
  1. Select “SAML 2.0” application type.

https://[your-dify-enterprise-url]/console/api/enterprise/sso/saml/acs
Paste it into the Single sign-on URL and Audience URI (SP Entity ID) fields on the Configure SAML page. After filling in the URL, continue to complete the following settings:
  • Set Name ID format to EmailAddress
  • Under “Show Advanced Settings”, verify that response and assertion signatures are set to Signed
  1. Click the “Next” button to complete the setup.
