Next you will need to set up your SSO connection so that users can sign in to Autodesk with their organization’s email address. This connection uses SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) to allow Autodesk to communicate with your identity provider to authenticate users.
You can create one connection for each identity provider, up to 25 connections. The connection must be set up and all domains must be verified before you can turn on SSO. See Add and verify domains for more information.
In Autodesk Account, go to User management > By user or By Group.
Select your team from the drop-down list and click the Team Settings ⚙️ icon in the upper right-hand corner.
Go to the section Single sign-on (SSO) and select Manage SSO.
Select Manage SSO tab > Set up connection.
You will be asked to name your connection. Enter a name that will help you easily identify the connection between your identity provider and Autodesk. The name you choose can also help differentiate between connections. The name you choose must be unique and not in use by another team or organization.
Select your identity provider from the drop-down menu.
For step-by-step instructions, select your identity provider from the list below.
• Set up SSO with Microsoft Azure
• Set up SSO with Active Directory Federation Services
• Set up SSO with PingFederate
• Set up SSO with Google Cloud Identity
Note: Select None of the above option from Step 1 - Add identity provider and metadata > Identity provider drop-down menu in case if you are not using any of the listed identity providers.
Similiar to given identity providers, this connection will use SAML protocol to allow Autodesk to communicate with your identity provider to authenticate users. To enable communication, you will need to add metadata from your identity provider to Autodesk and vice versa.
