How to Configure SAML 2.0 for Apperio


Read this before you enable SAML

Enabling SAML will affect all users who use this application, which means that users will not be able to sign in through their regular log in page. They will only be able to access the app through the Okta service.

Backup URL

Apperio does not provide backup log in URL where users can sign in using their normal username and password. You can contact Apperio Support (support@apperio.com) to turn off SAML, if necessary.
