How do I configure Single Sign-On (SSO) in Element451?
Element451 supports SSO for both internal users (staff/faculty) and external users (students/contacts). You can configure SSO by adding your institution’s SAML2 metadata in SSO Authentication Settings—a fully self-service process.
Key Considerations:
NameID Mapping: Ensure the SAML2 NameID attribute is mapped to the emailAddress value in your IdP settings.
Matching Email: The email address used for SSO must match a user account in Element451 for successful login.
