SAML Single Sign-On (SSO)

SAML offers single sign-on capability, improved security, and centralized identity management. It reduces password fatigue, improves user experience, and simplifies compliance auditing. You can configure Tenable Vulnerability Management to accept credentials from your SAML identity provider (IdP). Once SAML is enabled for a user, they can log in to Tenable Vulnerability Management directly through their identity provider, which automatically signs the user in and redirects them to the Tenable Vulnerability Management landing page.

Note: Once SAML is configured, an administrator must enable it for each user for whom they want to enforce SAML. The administrator must also disable the password login option to force the user to use SSO.

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 Vulnerability Management login page.

For more information about adding, editing, or deleting a SAML configuration, see the Tenable documentation portal.

For information about configuring SAML for Tenable products with specific IdPs, see the Tenable SAML Quick Reference Guide.
