Last updated 9 days ago

### Who can use this feature

- Supported on **Enterprise** plans
- Anyone with an org admin role can access and edit SSO settings

This article shows how to retrieve key pieces of information from PingOne to complete the SAML SSO setup process. For the rest of the SSO setup process, see our article [Setting up SAML SSO](https://support.writer.com/article/43-setting-up-saml-sso).

## Before you begin

Collect key data from WRITER to share with PingOne, as explained [here](https://support.writer.com/article/43-setting-up-saml-sso#Share-information-from-Writer-with-your-identity-provider-IdP-ZECRu).

## Configure SSO in PingOne

### Create WRITER SAML app

Go to the **Applications** page in PingOne and select the **plus (+) sign** at the top of the page to add an application.

Give your application a name, a description, and then select **SAML Application** as your application type. Select **Configure** to continue.

### **Import Metadata for SAML Configuration**

On the SAML Configuration page, select **Import Metadata**. Select your .xml WRITERmetadata file. (For instructions about retrieving your .xml WRITER metadata file, see [here](https://support.writer.com/article/43-setting-up-saml-sso#Share-information-from-Writer-with-your-identity-provider-IdP-ZECRu).)

The ACS URL and Entity ID fields should populate with the correct data once the file has been uploaded.

### **Configuration Overview and Attribute Mapping**

After uploading the metadata file, you’ll be taken to an Overview of the SAML configuration for your application.

Find the listed attribute **"saml_subject"**. Under the column _PingOne Mappings_, select **"Email address"**.

### **Activating App and Downloading Metadata**

Return to the Overview section of the app and activate the app using the toggle in the top right corner. Once activated, click "Download Metadata" at the bottom of the Overview section.

## Finish the SAML SSO setup process

Return to [Setting up SAML SSO](https://support.writer.com/article/43-setting-up-saml-sso#Section-B-From-your-IdP-into-Writer--KZpf9) to complete this process.
