Aha! SAML integration
Aha! is a SaaS company that provides product management framework for product strategy, requirements management, release management, idea capture, and visual roadmaps.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security used when logging into websites or apps. Individuals are authenticated 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.
Arculix by SecureAuth offers a simple method for adding MFA to Aha! through its SAML solution.
