## authentik configuration

To support the integration of Zoom with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

### Create an application and provider in authentik

1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
2. Navigate to **Applications** > **Applications** and click **New Application** to open the application wizard.
    - **Application**: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
    - **Choose a Provider type**: select **SAML Provider** as the provider type.
    - **Configure the Provider**: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations:
        - Set the **ACS URL** to `https://company.zoom.us/saml/SSO`.
        - Set the **Issuer** to `authentik`.
        - Set the **Service Provider Binding** to `Post`.
        - Set the **SLS URL** to `https://company.zoom.us/saml/SingleLogout`.
        - Set the **SLS Binding** to `Redirect`.
        - Set the **Logout Method** to `Front-channel (Native)`.
        - Set the **Audience** to `company.zoom.us`.
        - Under **Advanced protocol settings**, select an available **Signing Certificate**.
    - **Configure Bindings** _(optional)_: you can create a [binding](/docs/add-secure-apps/bindings-overview/) (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's **My applications** page.

3. Click **Submit** to save the new application and provider.

### Download the signing certificate

1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
2. Navigate to **Applications** > **Providers** and click the application created in the previous step.
3. Under **Download signing certificate**, click **Download** to save the certificate to your machine.
4. Open the downloaded certificate file in plain text, remove the first and last lines (`-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----` and `-----END CERTIFICATE-----`), then take note of the remaining text.

## Zoom configuration

:::warning Configuring a vanity URL
You must configure a vanity URL for your Zoom account before you can use SAML SSO. More information can be found in the [Zoom documentation](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061540).
:::

:::info Support for multi-vanity configurations
This documentation does not cover the configuration of multiple vanity URLs. For more information, please refer to the [Zoom documentation](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061540).
:::

1. Log in to the [Zoom web portal](https://success.zoom.us/profile) as an administrator.
2. In the navigation menu, click **Advanced**, then **Single Sign-On**.
3. Select the vanity URL you wish to configure with SAML SSO. If you only have one vanity URL, additional options will not be shown.
4. Configure the following required settings:
    - **Sign-in page URL**: `https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/sso/binding/post/`
    - **Sign-out page URL**: `https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/slo/binding/post/`
    - **Identity Provider Certificate**: Set the contents of the certificate downloaded in the previous step.
    - **Service Provider (SP) Entity ID**: `company.zoom.us`
    - **Issuer (IDP Entity ID)**: `company.zoom.us`
    - **Binding**: `HTTP-POST`
    - **Signature Hash Algorithm**: `SHA256`
    - **Security options**: Select `Sign SAML request`
    - **Provision User**: Select `At sign-in`
5. Click **Save changes**.

## Configuration verification

To verify that authentik is configured correctly with Zoom, navigate to your company's vanity URL and click **Sign in**. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then redirected back to Zoom.
