SAML

You can configure Tenable One Vulnerability Management to accept credentials from your SAML identity provider (for example, Okta). This allows for an additional layer of security, where the SAML credentials are certified for use within Tenable One Vulnerability Management. Once you enable SAML for a user, they can log in to Tenable One Vulnerability Management directly through their identity provider, which automatically signs them in and redirects them to the Tenable One Vulnerability Management landing page.

On the SAML page, you can view and manage your SAML credentials. You can also enable, disable, and add new configurations for users within your Tenable One Vulnerability Management instance.

Tip: Review the Tenable SAML Configuration Quick-Reference guide for a step-by-step guide of how to configure SAML for use with Tenable One Vulnerability Management.

Note: Tenable One Vulnerability Management supports SAML 2.0 configurations.

Note: Once SAML is configured for a user, they must log in using the IdP Tile or the URL provided in the SP metadata file (for example, cloud.tenable.com/SAML/XXXXXX) and log back out before they can access the Sign in via SSO link on the Tenable One Vulnerability Management login page. Additionally, any time you clear your browser cookies/cache, you must re-log in via the IdP tile or SP metadata file URL.
Important: Because Tenable One Vulnerability Management cannot accept private keys to decrypt SAML assertions, Tenable One Vulnerability Management does not support SAML assertion encryption. If you want to configure SAML authentication in Tenable One Vulnerability Management, choose an identity provider that does not require assertion encryption and confirm that assertion encryption is not enabled.
