Configuring SAML Authentication
To set up SAML authentication, you will need details from your Identity Provider (IdP).
Identity Provider Metadata
You can provide one of the following:
- Metadata URL
e.g. For Microsoft Entra https://login.microsoftonline.com/<some_id>/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml?appid=<some_id>
- Metadata File (XML)
Redirect After Logout
Set your IdP to redirect users here after logout:
https://app.outdoo.ai or for microsoft, https://myapps.microsoft.com
Required Outdoo Details
Your IdP may ask for the following values:
Outdoo Entity ID
https://app.outdoo.ai
(Use this exact value. Do not substitute your customer domain.)
Outdoo Reply URL (ACS URL)
You can access your ACS url here after logging in -
https://api.outdoo.ai/auth/sso/saml/login/<some_id>
X509 Certificate
Outdoo does not provide an X509 certificate. If required, your IdP will generate and provide one.
Authentication Settings
Session Duration (Optional)
You can require team members to re-authenticate, e.g., every 2 months (or a chosen interval of your choice).
Note: This setting does not apply to call recording preferences. Team members can always manage their recording settings if configured at the user level.
✅ You’ve now set up authentication for your organization. Depending on your security policies, you can combine password login, common providers, or SAML to give your team a seamless and secure login experience.
