SSO verified domains

Status
colour Red title NEW

We are excited to introduce SAML Verified Domains have implemented verified domains in External Share for Confluence, enhancing user registration and security. This feature allows you to add and verify domains via SAML authentication, enabling verify your domain, allowing users to bypass skip email verification when registering through via Single Sign-On (SSO). Once a domain is verified, users with email addresses from that domain will have their accounts automatically marked as completed upon registration. This simplifies the onboarding process and strengthens domain-based access control.

How It Works:

...

Add Verified Domain: Enter your domain in Global Settings under SSO Configuration.

...

Generate TXT Record: Receive a unique TXT record for domain verification.

...

Update DNS: Add the TXT record to your domain's DNS settings.

...

How it works

1. Navigate to Global Settings → SSO Configuration → Domains

2. Enter your domain name and receive TXT record (Domain Status → Unverified)

3. Update your DNS with the TXT Record

4. Verify the domain - Confirm verification by checking the DNS record. Automatic Registration: (Domain Status → Verified)

5. Users with verified domain emails are auto-verified during SSO registration.

Benefits:

• Enhanced User Experience: Skip email verification for a quicker setup.

• Improved Security: Ensures only approved domains can register via SSO.
