Configuring SSO in Control Center using the GravityZone Identity Provider

Overview

Bitdefender GravityZone supports single sign-on (SSO) with the GravityZone Identity Provider (IdP), which uses SAML 2.0.

The GravityZone Identity Provider is a service that can manage and verify digital identities, allowing users configured in GravityZone Control Center to authenticate and access various applications from the GravityZone ecosystem with a single set of credentials. It is essential to federated identity management, where users have one identity across multiple services, enhancing security and convenience.

Important

Currently, the GravityZone Identity Provider is limited to providing authentication and access only to the GravityZone Control Center service.

Prerequisites

You need to have a valid GravityZone administrator account with Manage Users rights.

Important

As GravityZone administrator, you can configure single sign-on for users from your company.

You cannot enable SSO for your own GravityZone account due to security reasons.

Enabling SSO in Control Center using the GravityZone IdP

To configure the login to GravityZone Control Center to use the GravityZone Identity Provider (IdP), follow these steps:

  1. Log in to GravityZone Control Center.

  2. Go to the Accounts page from the left-side menu.

  3. Click the Full Name of the user whose login method you want to configure.

    The Edit account window will be displayed.

  4. In the Login Security section, select Login using GravityZone Identity Provider as the authentication method.

  5. Click Save.

    You will be redirected to the two-factor authentication page.

  6. Enter the six-digit code from the authenticator app account of the previously configured GravityZone user.

  7. Click Continue.

    In a few moments, you will automatically log in to GravityZone Control Center with the previously configured GravityZone account.

Disabling SSO in Control Center using the GravityZone IdP

To disable the GravityZone Control Center SSO configuration with the GravityZone Identity Provider, follow the same steps outlined in the Enabling SSO in Control Center using the GravityZone IdP section, but when you reach step 4, select another login method from the available options: Login using your Identity Provider, if it has been enabled, or Login using GravityZone credentials.

For information regarding the Login using your Identity Provider option, refer to Configuring single sign-on using a 3rd party Identity Provider.
