Zoom SAML integration

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security used when logging into websites or apps to authenticate users through more than one required security and validation procedure that only they know or have access to. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a protocol for authenticating to web applications. SAML allows federated apps and organizations to communicate and trust one another’s users.

Acceptto™, as a SAML provider, improves the user login experience for Zoom users with convenient MFA, and offers a simple SAML solution for adding Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) to Zoom.

Prerequisites

  • An Acceptto account with a configured Identity Provider and LDAP Agent.

    For more information, see the LDAP Agent deployment guide.

  • A user with administrative privileges for the Zoom panel.
