Integrating Webflow with Active Directory/Azure using SSO

Yes, it is possible to integrate Webflow with Active Directory/Azure using Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality. This integration allows users to log in to Webflow using their existing Active Directory/Azure credentials, providing a seamless and secure user experience.

To set up the integration, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Enable SSO in your Active Directory/Azure: You need to configure Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) or Azure Active Directory (AD) to act as the identity provider for Webflow. This involves setting up the appropriate claims, rules, and relying party trusts.

  2. Configure Webflow for SSO: In your Webflow dashboard, go to the Project Settings section and navigate to the "Account Plans" tab. Here, you can enable the SSO option and provide the necessary SSO metadata or URLs, depending on your Active Directory/Azure setup.

  3. Test the integration: Once the configuration is complete, you can test the SSO integration by navigating to the login page of your Webflow site. You should see an option to "Login with SSO" alongside the regular login form. Clicking this option will redirect you to your Active Directory/Azure SSO page, where you can enter your credentials and complete the authentication process. If successful, you'll be redirected back to your Webflow site as an authenticated user.

The "Login with SSO" page on the Webflow site works by acting as a bridge between Webflow and your Active Directory/Azure SSO provider. When a user clicks the "Login with SSO" option, Webflow redirects the user to the SSO provider's login page, where the user can enter their credentials. Once authenticated, the SSO provider generates a token or assertion, which is then sent back to Webflow. Webflow verifies the token and logs the user in, granting them access to the site.

It's important to note that SSO integration with Active Directory/Azure requires specific technical knowledge and expertise. If you're not familiar with the process, it's recommended to consult with an IT professional to ensure a smooth and secure integration.
