### SAML SSO improvements

We've rolled out some significant updates geared towards improving SAML SSO. Here's a quick overview of what's new:

1. **Switching between entity ID formats:** When getting the UiPath details for the identity provider setup, you can now change between the legacy entity id format (without the organization ID), and the new format that includes the organization ID.
2. **Custom unique identifier:** We've introduced the option to set custom attributes for unique identification. This feature is particularly beneficial if :
   * An email address is not allocated to your users.
   * An email address cannot serve as a unique identifier (they are not unique in the identity provider).
     :::important
     Once you've set a **Unique Identifier**, changing it can result in a loss of previously recognized users, as the system might not be able to identify them anymore.
     :::
3. **Signing authentication requests:** This feature allows UiPath sign all SAML authentication requests. This is useful if your identity provider requires signed authentication requests.
4. **Single logout:** Our SAML configuration now includes Single Logout (SLO) capabilities, which enable simultaneous logouts across all your applications unified under your identity provider.

## Deprecation timeline
