# Microsoft Entra SAML SSO

Microsoft Entra SAML SSO lets workspace members sign in to ElevenLabs through a Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) enterprise application.

:::callout{intent="info"}
SSO is available for Enterprise workspaces. Only Workspace admins can configure SSO settings.
:::

:::callout{intent="warning"}
ElevenLabs supports Service Provider (SP) initiated SAML SSO. To start sign-in, use `https://elevenlabs.io/app/sign-in?use_sso=true`. You can add `email=user@example.com` as a query parameter to prefill the email field.
:::

:::callout{intent="note"}
Microsoft Entra is only supported through SAML. OIDC with Microsoft Entra is not recommended and can cause sign-in issues.
:::

## Prerequisites

- An Enterprise ElevenLabs workspace.
- Workspace admin access in ElevenLabs.
- Admin access in the Microsoft Entra admin center.
- A verified email domain in ElevenLabs for the users who will sign in through Microsoft Entra.

## Set up Microsoft Entra SAML SSO

:::::steps
:::step{title="Open SSO settings in ElevenLabs"}
Go to **Workspace settings** > **Security & SSO**.
:::

:::step{title="Verify your email domain"}
Under **User Auto Provisioning**, verify the email domain your Microsoft Entra users will sign in with. Enter the domain (subdomains are allowed), then follow the prompts to confirm ownership. Optionally enable auto-provisioning so users with a matching email domain automatically join your workspace.

| **Sign-in method**                             | **SSO Provider**                  | `SAML`                                                                                    |
| **Identifier (Entity ID)**                     | **Service Provider Entity Id**    | Use the ElevenLabs value, for example `https://elevenlabs.io`                             |
| **Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)** | **Redirect URL**                  | Use the ElevenLabs value, for example `https://elevenlabs.io/__/auth/handler`             |
| **Microsoft Entra Identifier**                 | **Identity Provider Entity Id**   | Entra issuer, for example `https://sts.windows.net/{tenant-id}/`                          |
| **Login URL**                                  | **Identity Provider Sign-In URL** | Entra SAML sign-in URL, for example `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/saml2` |
| **Certificate (Base64)**                       | **Certificate**                   | Entra token signing certificate in valid PEM format                                       |
| **Name ID format**                             | No manual config required         | Set to **Email address**                                                                  |
| **Name ID source attribute**                   | No manual config required         | Field containing the user’s email, usually `user.mail` (or `user.userprincipalname`)      |
| User or app email domain in Microsoft Entra    | **Domain**                        | Must match a verified ElevenLabs domain, for example `company.com`                        |

## Troubleshooting

:::accordion{title="Microsoft Entra shows a successful sign-in, but ElevenLabs says unable to sign in"}
Check the browser Network response for `accounts:signInWithIdp`. Microsoft Entra sign-in logs only confirm that Entra authenticated the user. ElevenLabs can still reject the SAML response if the assertion values do not match the SSO configuration.
:::

:::accordion{title="INVALID_IDP_RESPONSE: Error when parsing certificate"}
The browser Network response may show `INVALID_IDP_RESPONSE: Error when parsing certificate`. Remove the certificate from ElevenLabs, then re-add the Entra **Certificate (Base64)** in valid PEM format. Do not use an LLM to format the certificate. Open the Base64 certificate in a text editor and copy it exactly, including `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----` and `-----END CERTIFICATE-----`.
:::

:::accordion{title="Unable to login with saml.workspace... or user mismatch errors"}
Make sure Microsoft Entra sends the user’s email address as the `NameID`. In **Attributes & Claims**, set the **Unique User Identifier (Name ID)** claim **Name identifier format** to **Email address** and **Source attribute** to the field that contains the email address for all users (usually `user.mail`, or `user.userprincipalname` if `user.mail` is not populated). Inside the `<saml:Subject>` field of the SAML response, `<saml:NameID>` must be the user’s email address.
:::

:::accordion{title="Which Microsoft Entra values should I use?"}
Use the **Microsoft Entra Identifier** for **Identity Provider Entity Id**, the **Login URL** for **Identity Provider Sign-In URL**, and the **Certificate (Base64)** for **Certificate**.
