How do I configure AWS Single Sign on?

To configure AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), you need to follow these steps:

  1. Set up AWS SSO: Sign in to the AWS Management Console, navigate to the AWS SSO console, and set up AWS SSO for your organization. You’ll need to choose an identity source, such as AWS Directory Service or Microsoft Active Directory, and configure user attributes and permissions.
  2. Add AWS accounts and applications: Once AWS SSO is set up, you can add AWS accounts and business applications to the AWS SSO application catalog. You’ll need to configure the application settings, such as the application name, logo, and access policies.
  3. Assign users and groups: You can use AWS SSO to assign users and groups to AWS accounts and business applications. This allows you to define fine-grained permissions for users and groups, controlling which resources they can access.
  4. Configure authentication: AWS SSO provides various options for user authentication, including password-based authentication and single sign-on (SSO) with SAML 2.0. You can configure authentication settings for AWS SSO to match your organization’s security and compliance requirements.
  5. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA): AWS SSO supports MFA for added security. You can enable MFA for user authentication by configuring MFA settings in the AWS SSO console.
  6. Test and verify: Once you’ve configured AWS SSO, you can test and verify the configuration by signing in to AWS accounts and business applications using the AWS SSO portal. You can also monitor user activity and access to AWS resources using AWS SSO reports and audit logs.

Configuring AWS SSO involves setting up AWS SSO for your organization, adding AWS accounts and business applications, assigning users and groups, configuring authentication settings, enabling MFA, and testing and verifying the configuration. AWS provides detailed documentation and tutorials to guide you through the configuration process.
