Single Sign On
DNAnexus supports single sign-on and account federation using the SAML 2.0 protocol.
DNAnexus supports Single Sign-on functionality using the SAML 2.0 protocol. Using identity management services like PingIdentity PingOne, Okta, and OneLogin, DNAnexus users within your organization can use their Active Directory or LDAP-based accounts to log in to DNAnexus.
To use an SSO integration with DNAnexus, please email support@dnanexus.com to register your Identity Provider metadata with us.
Email DNAnexus support with information about your organization and the SSO integration provider that you use. If you have SAML IdP (Identity Provider) metadata XML for your system, please include it.
DNAnexus supports SSO just-in-time provisioning of accounts authorized by the identity provider. When the user logs in via their identity management SSO portal, DNAnexus automatically creates a new account if necessary, and links it to the identity sent by the identity provider.
To log in, users should first access their identity management SSO portal and select the DNAnexus application. They will then be automatically redirected into the DNAnexus platform.
