**TL;DR:** SSO streamlines authentication through your organization's identity provider. Supports SAML, LDAP, and SCIM, plus user data variables for automation.

Single Sign-On (SSO) lets your team authenticate to Applivery using your organization's existing identity provider, eliminating the need for separate credentials. Applivery supports multiple SSO methods to fit different organizational setups and identity infrastructure.

## Supported SSO methods

Google Authentication is enabled by default on all Applivery accounts and requires no additional configuration.

**SAML 2.0**

Integrates with enterprise identity providers like Azure AD, Okta, Ping Identity, and any other SAML 2.0-compatible platform for centralized authentication and automated user provisioning via SCIM.

**LDAP**

Connects your existing LDAP directory server to Applivery, enabling authentication and user management directly from your corporate directory.

## SSO user data variables

When SSO is configured, the identity provider shares user data that you can reference using template variables. These are useful for automating form fields and populating values during device enrollment or account creation workflows.

| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| `{{sso.firstname}}` | User's first name |
| `{{sso.lastname}}` | User's last name |
| `{{sso.username}}` | User's username |
| `{{sso.email}}` | Full email address |
| `{{sso.email.username}}` | Username portion of the email address |

Variables can be combined to build dynamic values. For example, `{{sso.firstname}}.{{sso.lastname}}` generates a value like `daniel.garcia` — useful for automated account creation in macOS Device Management scenarios.

This section covers how to configure SSO and SCIM for your identity provider of choice, including step-by-step setup guides and role mapping instructions.
