Tip
If you have problems signing in, see Account Recovery.SAML SSO
We support single sign-on (SSO) based on Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0). SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) is available to all PtaaS tiers.
Once your Organization Owner has configured SAML SSO, you need to sign in to Cobalt through the identity provider (IdP) instead of the Cobalt Sign In page. This affects the following users:
Tip
If you can’t sign in through SAML SSO, see our troubleshooting tips.Learn how Organization Owners can configure SAML SSO.
Two-Factor Authentication
We support two-factor authentication (2FA). If you’re using SAML SSO to sign in, you don’t need to turn on 2FA.
- If your organization enforces all users to enable 2FA, configure it upon signing in. Follow steps 3–5 from the instruction in Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
- We recommend that you enable 2FA even if your organization doesn’t enforce it.
