# SSO / SAML Authentication

Federate login to Keeper with any SAML 2.0 compatible identity provider (IdP)

## Overview

Keeper integrates with any SAML 2.0 compatible identity provider such as Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, Duo, OneLogin, Ping Identity, JumpCloud, and more.

We offer two different SSO implementations: SSO Connect Cloud and SSO Connect On-Prem. Both implementations provide Zero Knowledge encryption with seamless authentication for end-users. We recommend [SSO Connect Cloud](https://docs.keeper.io/sso-connect-cloud/) for most customers.

Keeper SSO Connect Cloud is the latest Cloud-based architecture which can be configured with your identity provider to authenticate and provision users quickly. To read the SSO Connect Cloud setup guide, see this [guide](https://docs.keeper.io/sso-connect-cloud/).

SSO Connect On-Prem is a self-hosted integration that requires either a Windows or Linux hosted application server. To read about the SSO Connect On-Prem configuration, see this [guide](https://docs.keeper.io/sso-connect-on-prem/).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.keeper.io/enterprise-guide/sso-saml-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
