Configuring host authentication settings

As a system administrator, you can choose the authentication and related default security settings for your entire installation. These settings are inherited by all organizations as default.

Note:

This article walks you through the steps for configuring global authentication and security settings. If you want to configure organization-level settings, i.e., settings that apply to one organization, refer to Organization-level authentication settings.

Global authentication settings (host level)

The platform allows you to configure an external identity provider to control how your users sign in. Settings here apply to all organizations.

The following table provides an overview of the different host-level external providers available:

External Provider Integration

Authentication

Directory Search

Administrators Provisioning

Administrators can use SSO with Windows Authentication using the Kerberos protocol

Administrators can search for users from the Active Directory

For a user to be able to login, either the user or a group that the user is a member of should already be added to the UiPath platform. Active Directory users and groups are available in the UiPath platform through directory search.

Administrators can use SSO with Azure AD using the OpenID Connect protocol

Not supported

Users must be manually provisioned into the UiPath organization with an email address matching their Azure AD account.

Users can use SSO with Google using the OpenID Connect protocol

Not supported

Users must be manually provisioned into the UiPath organization with an email address matching their Google account.

Users can use SSO with any Identity Provider that supports SAML

Not supported

Users must be manually provisioned into the UiPath organization with a username/email/external provider key (as configured in their external identity provider configuration) matching their SAML account.

Note: Differences between integrating Azure AD at host-level and organization-level: The host-level only enables SSO functionality. The organization-level enables SSO, directory search, and automatic user provisioning.
