# Configuring Azure SAML-based authentication

The platform allows users to authenticate using Azure SAML-based SSO. In order to do so, please follow these steps: 

1\. Create the Azure application

2\. Submit the metadata files to the LIBNOVA support or your project manager.

3\. Once confirmed by LIBNOVA, go to your Azure Auth configuration panel and verify that the basic authentication settings are defined like this:

![](/files/7KNTB6eDGp75n52BxtKL)

4\. In next section:

![](/files/xpTKgrsRwJXw0S58Ixln)

Select **Edit** and then select the required element shown here:

![](/files/2smLJJP3f1oUb2tx2T9p)

5\. Introduce the following values in your configuration:

![](/files/5bIWHF1jxk6R69pe62qO)

and then click **Save**.

6\. Select again the required element to go again to the form and double check that every parameter you have defined has been saved. There is a known bug in the Azure panel in which this is not saved the first time is introduced. Please, double check until when you open this page, the settings are like in the image.

7\. Continue to the [Users and Permissions](/libsafe-advanced-manual/configuration/users-and-permissions.md) guide to assign the IdP identifiers to your users.
