How to Configure SAML 2.0 Configuration

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a standard protocol that allows identity providers to authenticate users and create a secure way to let users access a service provider, such as Jira Cloud or Slack. The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to configure SAML 2.0.
