Altering the Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration on Zoom may seem daunting, but fear not! With some helpful tips, it’s a straightforward process. This article will guide you step-by-step on how to change SSO settings on Zoom, and I’ll also provide my own personal tips and tricks.
What is SSO?
Before we dive into the steps, let’s briefly discuss what Single Sign-On (SSO) is. SSO is a method of authentication that allows users to access multiple applications with just one set of login credentials. Instead of remembering multiple usernames and passwords, SSO simplifies the login process by using a central identity provider, such as Google or Microsoft Azure.
Step 1: Accessing the Zoom Admin Portal
To begin, you’ll need to access the Zoom Admin Portal. This is where you can manage various settings for your Zoom account, including SSO. Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Zoom Admin Portal by entering the URL: https://admin.zoom.us. Log in with your Zoom admin credentials.
Step 2: Navigating to SSO Settings
Once you’ve logged in to the Zoom Admin Portal, click on the “Advanced” tab in the left-hand navigation menu, and then select “Single Sign-On.” This will take you to the SSO settings page.
Step 3: Configuring SSO
On the SSO settings page, you’ll see various options for configuring SSO on Zoom. Here, you can enable SSO for your Zoom account, specify your identity provider, and customize the SSO login page.
To enable SSO, simply toggle the “Enable SSO” option to the “On” position. Next, select your preferred Identity Provider from the dropdown menu. Popular choices include Google, Microsoft Azure, Okta, and OneLogin. If your identity provider is not listed, select “Other” and follow the instructions provided by your provider.
After selecting your Identity Provider, you may need to provide additional configuration details, such as the Identity Provider Issuer URL and Certificate. Make sure to consult your identity provider’s documentation for the required information.
Step 4: Testing SSO Integration
Once you’ve configured SSO on Zoom, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure everything is working correctly. On the SSO settings page, click on the “Test Configurations” button. This will prompt you to log out of your Zoom account and test the SSO login flow.
Follow the prompts to log in using your SSO credentials. If everything is set up correctly, you should be redirected back to the Zoom Admin Portal after a successful login.
Conclusion
Changing SSO settings on Zoom can seem daunting at first, but by following these steps, you can easily configure and manage SSO for your Zoom account. Remember to consult your identity provider’s documentation if you encounter any issues or require additional configuration details. With SSO enabled, you’ll enhance security and streamline the login experience for your Zoom users.
