Overview

Stack Internal Enterprise uses single sign-on (SSO) for user authentication. Instead of logging in directly on the site, users log in to an external identity provider (IdP). That IdP then passes their identity and authentication to Stack Internal Enterprise.

THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO STACK INTERNAL ENTERPRISE ONLY.
Other Stack Internal users should read this article instead. Find your plan.

SOE uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard for SSO. You can learn more about SAML in our SAML Authentication Overview document.

To set up SSO for your site, select your IdP below and follow the detailed instructions.
