Configuring single sign-on (SSO) for LastPass

For partners subscribed to Basic with SSO 2021, Select with SSO 2021, and Enterprise plans.

In this article, you'll learn how to configure SSO on your IT Glue account using LastPass.

If you are configuring SSO for MyGlue using LastPass, the instructions are the same but you will need to enter different values when configuring LastPass and your MyGlue account settings page. Click here to see the different values that you'll need to substitute in at key steps within this KB article.

Prerequisites

  • You must have Administrator level access to IT Glue to configure SSO on your account.
  • Ensure your users are provisioned in the identity provider (LastPass), with exactly the same email address as their IT Glue account. We don’t create user accounts under SSO.
  • Before turning this feature on, log in to your IT Glue account twice - once in a regular browser and once in an incognito/private window. This is to ensure that you are still logged in to your account if you get locked out in the other window. Alternatively, you can also log in to two separate browsers.

Instructions

Configuring LastPass

  1. Log in to the LastPass admin portal with your admin username and master password.
  2. In the left-hand menu of the Admin Console, navigate to SSO & MFA > Applications > Web App.
  3. Click + Add Application in the upper-right corner.

Configuring IT Glue

After setting up LastPass, you need to configure your IT Glue account to authenticate using SAML. You will need a few pieces of information from LastPass to complete the steps.

IMPORTANT  It's highly recommended that before you begin the below set of instructions, log in to your IT Glue account twice - once in a regular browser and once in an incognito/private window. Alternatively, you can also log in to two separate browsers. This is to ensure that you are still logged in to your account in case you are locked out in the other window.

  1. Log in to IT Glue and click Account in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click Settings in the sidebar.

  3. Click on the Authentication tab and then turn the Enable SAML SSO toggle switch to ON. Once this is turned on, a form will appear. You will need to collect information from LastPass and enter into this form.

    1. Issuer URL - Enter https://identity.lastpass.com
    2. SAML Login Endpoint URL (a.k.a. SSO Endpoint URL) - Enter https://identity.lastpass.com/SAML/SSOService
    3. SAML Logout Endpoint URL - Enter https://identity.lastpass.com/Login/Logout
    4. Fingerprint - Copy and paste the Certificate Fingerprint.
    5. Certificate - Download the LastPass certificate and paste it into this field.

      IMPORTANT  Ensure there are no extra spaces trailing at the end of the Certificate string (i.e. after -----END CERTIFICATE-----).
      Note: IT Glue does not support SSO logout URLs.

  4. Click Save to complete the setup of your account.

Once you make this change, you can test your account.

Configuring MyGlue

If you are setting up SSO for MyGlue, complete all steps as instructed in the Configuring LastPasssection. However, in step 5, you need to substitute different values as follows:

  • ACS - https://app.myglue.com/saml/consume
  • Entity ID - https://app.myglue.com
  • Nickname - MyGlue
