Secure Your Application with SecureAuth IAM
Take the essential first steps to protect your applications, APIs, and data using SecureAuth IAM. This quickstart will walk you through setting up your tenant, defining apps, configuring identity sources, and enforcing access policies.
1. Log In to Your Tenant
Start by logging in to your SecureAuth tenant as an administrator: https://connect.secureauth.com/
2. Define Your Application
- Create a service and define access scopes that represent protected functionality or APIs.
- Define APIs manually or allow SecureAuth to discover them for enforcement and introspection.
- Create a client application and assign at least one service access scope.
3. Configure Authentication Experience
Design how users authenticate and interact with your app:
- Integrate one or more SSO IdPs per workspace using our Bring Your Own Identity model.
- Use Identity Pools to bring and manage your own user base.
- Apply consistent branding, login flow logic, and multi-IDP routing strategies for customer, partner, or workforce scenarios.
Once authentication is configured, your app is ready to support login and session management. Try it!
4. Protect your APIs & Application
Control Access at a granular Level with SecureAuth capabilities
- Create a 2FA policy and apply it to your scope to restrict access.
- Connect your API Gateway or Service Mesh to fetch and enforce policies at the API layer.
SecureAuth now enforces access at every level:
- API-level checks (e.g., token scope validation)
- Transaction-level authorization
- Object-level and data-sharing controls
