Please Note: Use this document to set up SSO in Centage after adding it as an application to your SSO solution.

Before you begin, have two pieces of information from your SSO provider ready:

1. A Metadata URL – Different providers use different names for this URL. It should look something like this: https://app.ssoprovider.com/saml/metadata/6bc5683c-647g-1uvo-hemf-7349j5n32op4 
2. Recipient URL – For any SSO provider, this URL is: 

https://domainname.planningmaestro.com/saml/SSO.

SSO (Single Sign On) Authentication lets you access your company’s applications and websites with a single set of login credentials. You can now include Centage in your SSO solution.

When you work with Centage to set up SSO, your company’s Administrator chooses an SSO Admin user in Centage who can set up SSO for your company.

You can add Centage to your company’s SSO solution if you use any SAML 2.0 compliant identity providers, including:

• OneLogin
• Okta
• RSASecurID
• Idaptive
• Ping
• Entra ID
• CA Technologies
• ... (and many more. Ask Centage Support.)

This document shows you, a Centage SSO Admin, how to set up SSO in Centage after adding Centage to your SSO account for one of the providers above.

Setting up SSO in Centage

Please Note: Log into your SSO Admin account (not your normal Centage account). This account is specially designed to let you set up SSO.

After Centage enables SSO for your company, a Login In with SSO button appears. However, you must log in using your sso_admin username and SSO password first.

Step 1: Log into your SSO Admin account (not your normal Centage account).

Step 2: Click on the Administration icon ( ) and select Configure SSO.

Step 3: On the SSO Configuration page, click on the Enable SSO toggle switch to turn it to the ON position.

Step 4: A popup appears. Click Yes, Enable SSO.

Step 5: Two more fields appear below. Enter the following information:

• Metadata URL – In this field, enter the URL given by your provider. Different providers use different names for this URL. It should look something like this: https://app.ssoprovider.com/saml/metadata/6bc5683c-647g-1uvo-hemf-7349j5n32op4
• Recipient URL – Enter https://domainname.planningmaestro.com/saml/SSO. (Replace “domainname” with your Centage account’s domain name).

Example: The domain name in the screenshot is paradventureinc.

Please Note: The Recipient URL is CASE SENSETIVE ensure that the SSO at the end of the URL is capitalized

Step 6: Click Save.

After you enable SSO:

• Centage users in your company can now use SSO to log into Centage.
• Old Centage usernames and passwords no longer work.

Please Note: The sso_admin username and password is the exception. Those credentials will still work.

• All Centage users receive an email that explains they can use SSO to access Centage.

Centage users receive an email like this:

Now, to log in with your normal Centage account, click Log In with SSO on the right and enter your SSO email address (usually your normal work email). Do not use the Username and Password fields on the page.

Disabling SSO

You may need to disable SSO in Centage at some point (for example, if your company switches SSO providers). Use the following steps to remove Centage from your company’s SSO solution and return to the previous method of logging in.

Step 1: Repeat steps 1-3 to reopen your SSO Admin account and the SSO Configuration page. Click on the Enable SSO toggle switch to turn it to the OFF position.

Step 2: A warning popup appears. Click Yes, Disable SSO.

Step 3: Click Save & Exit.

• A confirmation message appears.
• 
• All other Centage users receive an email explaining that SSO is disabled and they need to reset their password.
