Identity Provider (SAML SSO)

MetaDefender Cloud Email Security ™ uses OPSWAT Single Sign-On (SSO) as its default identity provider for user authentication.

Use your own Identity Provider

For organizations that prefer to manage authentication through their own identity systems, MetaDefender Cloud Email Security ™ supports custom Identity Provider (IdP) integration using the SAML 2.0 protocol.

This allows you to centralize authentication, enforce your organization’s security policies, and streamline user access management.

Prerequisites

Before configuring a custom Identity Provider, ensure that:

• Your Identity Provider supports SAML 2.0

• You have administrative access to:

  • Your Identity Provider (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, etc.)
  • My OPSWAT portal

• You are familiar with basic SAML configuration concepts (e.g., metadata, assertions, certificates)
