High level overview of Keeper SSO Connect™ Cloud

End-to-End Password Protection Across Your Data Environment

Simply by authenticating through your existing IdP, your employees gain access to all of the capabilities of the top-rated Keeper password management platform, including:

  • Secure digital vault that can be accessed from any device, running any OS

  • Automatic password generation & autofill on all devices

  • Compatibility on any system, browser or app

  • Zero-knowledge encryption of vault data

This service does not require any on-premises or customer cloud-hosted services and there are no Master Passwords. Configuration is done directly between the IdP and Keeper's Admin Console.

To preserve Zero Knowledge, an Elliptic Curve public/private key pair is generated for each device. The private key on the device encrypts and decrypts the user's vault. Signing into a new device requires a key exchange that is processed by our Keeper Push feature or approved by a designated Admin. Automated admin approvals can be configured in several different ways.

Setup Steps

Important: SSO users and provisioning must exist in a dedicated node that you will create (not in the root node). Before completing these steps, create a new node as shown in the image below.

Keeper SSO Connect Cloud can be rolled out in 3 easy steps:

  1. Create a SSO Connect Cloud instance on the Keeper Admin Console under Provisioning

  2. Exchange metadata with your SAML identity provider

  3. Set up automated provisioning and/or manually provision users to Keeper

Device Approvals

An Administrative Permission called "Approve Devices" allows an Administrator to perform device approvals. Admin Approvals can also be automated. See the Device Approvalarrow-up-right section for details.
