The following placeholders are used in this guide:

info

This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.

OneUptime Cloud requirement

Configuring SSO with OneUptime Cloud requires a Scale plan or higher. If you are self-hosting OneUptime, SSO is available on all instances at no cost.

authentik configuration​

To support the integration of OneUptime with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider​

SAML provider changes in authentik 2026.5

authentik 2026.5 introduces changes to how the SAML provider behaves. Specifically, the provider now automatically sets the Issuer value to: https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/metadata/

Older versions of authentik set this value to authentik by default. If you're running an older version, please set Issuer to https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/metadata/, where <application_slug> is the slug that you selected for the application.

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application to open the application wizard.
    • Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings. Note the Slug value because you will use it when you configure OneUptime.
    • Choose a Provider type: select SAML Provider as the provider type.
    • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
      • Set the ACS URL to https://temp.temp. You will replace this after OneUptime provides the real Reply URL.
      • Set the Audience to https://temp.temp. You will replace this after OneUptime provides the real Identifier.
      • Under Advanced protocol settings:
        • Select an available Signing Certificate.
        • Set NameID Property Mapping to authentik default SAML Mapping: Email.
    • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's Application Dashboard page.
  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Download the signing certificate​

  1. Navigate to Applications > Providers and click on the name of the SAML provider that you created for OneUptime.
  2. Under Related objects > Download signing certificate, click Download. You need this certificate file in the next section.

OneUptime configuration​

Create an SSO configuration​

  1. Log in to OneUptime as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Project Settings > Authentication > SSO.
  3. Click Create SSO and configure the following settings:
    • Name: enter a descriptive name.
    • Description: enter a description.
    • Sign On URL: https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/
    • Issuer: https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/metadata/
    • Public Certificate: paste the certificate that you downloaded from authentik, including the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines.
    • Signature Method: RSA-SHA256
    • Digest Method: SHA256
    • Enabled: enable the SSO configuration when you are ready to test it.
    • Teams: select the OneUptime teams that newly signed-in users should be added to.
  4. Save the configuration.
  5. Click View SSO Config on the new SSO entry.
  6. Note the following values:
    • Identifier (Entity ID)
    • Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)

OneUptime does not support SAML role mapping. Manage SSO user access with the teams that you select on the OneUptime SSO configuration, and configure any additional user permissions in OneUptime.

Update the authentik provider​

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Providers and open the SAML provider that you created for OneUptime.
  3. Update the provider with the values from OneUptime:
    • ACS URL: set to the OneUptime Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL).
    • Audience: set to the OneUptime Identifier (Entity ID).
  4. Click Update.

After you verify that SSO works, you can open Project Settings > Authentication > SSO in OneUptime and enable Force SSO for Login.

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with OneUptime, open the OneUptime integration from the authentik Application Dashboard. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then signed in to OneUptime.

You can also test the SP-initiated flow by opening the OneUptime login page in a private or incognito browser window, starting the SSO sign-in flow, and entering the email address of a user who should have access. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then back to OneUptime.
