Vanta customers using stand-alone products such as Vendor Risk management, Access Reviews, and Trust centers can now set up an SSO configuration independent of an IdP API integration. By leveraging the SAML connection, users will be able to login to Vanta through SSO without having to integrate Vanta fully with an identity provider.

Enabling a SAML Connection

• From the left-hand navigation panel, select Settings
• Select Login and security
• Choose Manually configure SAML

• This connection requires metadata configuration to enable as an SSO method. Refer to your IDP's documentation for further instructions:
  • Google
  • Okta
    • From the Okta admin portal, select Applications and then select Browse App Catalog
    • Locate the Vanta SAML App, select it, and Add Integration
    • Return to Vanta and copy the Domain ID field. This will be needed in the next step
    • Back in Okta, under Applications, select the Vanta application
    • Select the Sign On tab and then Edit
    • Find Advanced Sign-on Settings and paste in the Domain ID you copied from Vanta
    • Select Save
    • From the Sign On tab, click Copy next to the Metadata URL field. You will need this for the next step
    • Return to the new SAML connection page in Vanta and select Edit Configuration
    • Paste in the Metadata URL that you copied from Okta

    • Click the Copy Metadata URL button in Jumpcloud
