Secure your hub with Single Sign On
Single Sign On allows you to manage authentication to your hub through an Identity Provider (IdP).
The set up process for SSO will differ depending on your IdP. In all cases, however, the process requires you to provide your IdP with several SAML URLs from Vidyard in exchange for an X.509 Certification and an Endpoint URL.
Contact your IdP if you need help understanding which SAML endpoints are required from Vidyard.
- Click on Change to update how users access your hub
- Select Single Sign On (SSO) users, then click Update
- Click on Add Profile to create a single sign on connection
- Provide your IdP with the relevant SAML URLs from Vidyard
- Note that only some URLs may be required, depending on your IdP. In other cases, all URLs may be required.
- Obtain the X.509 Certificate and SAML Endpoint URL from your IdP and enter them into the fields provided in Vidyard.
- Click Save Changes
Secure your hub with an IP Allowlist
An IP range allowlist allows you to restrict access to only those viewers who visit your hub from a specified IP address(es). An IP allowlist can be enabled in conjunction with single sign on or a list of specific users.
- Click on Change to update how users access your hub
- Toggle IP Whitelist to ON, then click Update
- Enter an IP address or a block of IP addresses using CIDR notation. (e.g. 127.0.0.1/24), then click Add
- Enter a fallback URL to redirect visitors should they attempt to access your hub outside of the specified range of IP addresses.
- Click Save Changes
Click on the X icon next to an IP address to remove it from the hub's allowlist.
Enable HTTPS for hub requests
If your hub uses a Vidyard subdomain (*hubs.vidyard.com), requests to access your hub will use HTTPS automatically.
If you've chosen to use a CNAME (your own domain), contact the Vidyard Support team to set up SSL/TLS for your hub. SSL ensures that requests to your hub are made over HTTPS.
HTTPS is required should you choose to secure your hub with user passwords or Single Sign On (SSO). Selecting these security options without SSL enabled will result in a validation error:
You can always change the route type for your domain under the Hub Settings tab.
