In this article, we'll explain how to enforce SSO logins for your OptiSigns account.
- Setting Up Basic SSO Enforcement (Microsoft, Facebook, Google)
- Setting Up SAML SSO Enforcement (MS Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, Google Workspace)
By default, OptiSigns allows the use of Google, Facebook, or Microsoft accounts to access the OptiSigns portal:
However, some organizations have requirements to enforce SSO login for two-factor authentication and password protection purposes. OptiSigns supports this through Microsoft Entra ID and Google GSuite, as well as various SAML options requiring custom branding.
Setting Up Basic SSO Enforcement
To set up basic SSO enforcement, go to the Preferences page in your OptiSigns portal:
You'll find the Enforce Account SSO option under the "General" section, right at the top of the page.
Clicking on this will display several drop down options:
Selecting either option will require any users logging on to OptiSigns to do so with their Google or Microsoft account. If a user tries to log in in any other way, they'll receive this error:
For more information, see our guide on User Management.
Notes: You will have to use the official https://app.optisigns.com/ to log in to enforce SSO. You cannot use a custom domain with Enforce SSO, as the custom domain URL does not have an SSO login.
Setting Up SAML SSO Enforcement (MS Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, Google Workspace)
NOTE: This feature is available to Pro Plus, Engage, and Enterprise plan users. |
Setting up SAML SSO enforcement requires setting up a subdomain, then configuring your settings on your client of choice.
We have numerous articles covering this process, as well as general best practices:
- SAML Integration Strategy and Best Practices
- Microsoft Entra ID SAML 2.0 SSO Setup
- Okta SAML 2.0 SSO Setup
- OneLogin SAML 2.0 SSO Setup
- Google Workspace SAML 2.0 SSO Setup
Please follow one of these guides to set up SSO via SAML.
That's all!
