SAML Authentication

Hosted Graphite supports Single Sign On (SSO) via SAML-enabled identity providers. This allows users to login to our service using their existing organization credentials.

Contents

A SAML integration is set up on the team’s primary Hosted Graphite account, and any subsequent user signups via SAML will be added to this account as team members.

NOTE: SAML integration is included for all plans but must be enabled upon request. Please reach out to our support channel and we will enable this for you. Once enabled, you can locate the SAML Setup page from the Access menu.

SAML Setup

Identity providers require SAML account metadata from Hosted Graphite in order to set up a SAML integration.

  • Entity ID URL: https://CLUSTER.hostedgraphite.com/metadata/YOUR-USER-ID/

  • Assertion Consumer URL: https://CLUSTER.hostedgraphite.com/complete/saml/YOUR-USER-ID/

  • Connection Type: IdP Initiated via IdP portal or SP Initiated via /login/saml/YOUR-USER-ID/

  • XML Metadata: Available by accessing the Entity ID URL above while logged in.

  • NameID Format: Email address.

  • SAML Version: 2.0

Hosted Graphite can integrate with providers that support the SAML 2.0 specification. Example steps for connecting with some supported identity providers are listed below.
