Welcome to the Tenable SAML Quick Reference Guide

Last updated: May 13, 2026

This guide exists to provide complete configuration steps to use SAML with Tenable products. If you are a Tenable One customer, you can configure a single SAML setup for all of your applications. Otherwise, some applications support individual SAML configuration at the application level.

Tip: For more information about Tenable One, see the Tenable One Deployment Guide.

What is SAML?

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows identity providers (IdP) to pass authorization credentials to service providers (SP). This means you can use one set of credentials to log into multiple websites. SAML is the link between the authentication of a user and that user's authorization to access an application.

SAML in Tenable Products

Note: Tenable supports any SAML 2.0-compliant IdP. If your IdP is not listed (for example, OneLogin), you can still configure SAML authentication using your IdP's standard SAML 2.0 setup and the Tenable configuration steps. For additional guidance, contact Tenable Support.
