HackerOne cloud app

Using the SAML 2.0 standard, you can configure single sign-on (SSO) for a number of cloud apps. After you set up SSO, your users can use their Google Workspace credentials to sign in to an app using SSO.

   • The SSO URL copied in Step 1
   • The X.509 certificate fingerprint
6. Click Run test to verify your settings.

   After you successfully test your settings, HackerOne will review your SAML configuration.

7. Click Save.

8. After you receive your SAML approval email from HackerOne, go to SettingsGeneralAuthentication.
9. In the SAML settings section, click Migrate Users to enable SSO for your users.

Step 4: Verify SSO is working

HackerOne supports both identity provider-initiated and service provider-initiated SSO.

4. In the HackerOne section, click Test SAML login.

   The app should open in a separate tab. If it doesn’t, troubleshoot the error message and try again. For details on troubleshooting, go to SAML app error messages.

1. Close all browser windows.
2. Go to the HackerOne sign-in page and enter only your username. You should be automatically redirected to the Google sign-in page.
