DocuSign

Introduction

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security used when logging into websites or apps to authenticate users through more than one required security and validation procedure that only they know or have access to. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a protocol for authenticating to web applications. SAML allows federated apps and organizations to communicate and trust one another’s users.

Acceptto™, as a SAML provider, improves the user login experience for Docusign users with its smart convenient MFA.

Pre-Requisites

1. An Acceptto account with a configured Identity Provider and LDAP Agent (See this page for instructions).

2. A Docusign user account with administrative access to the developer dashboard.

3. A user with administrative privileges for the Acceptto Cloud dashboard.

Configure DocuSign as a Service Provider

1. Download the SAML metadata and certificate for your organization from Acceptto.

   Metadata Download at https://sso.acceptto.com/<myorganization>/saml/download/metadata or view at https://sso.acceptto.com/<myorganization>/saml/metadata

   Certificate Download at https://sso.acceptto.com/<myorganization>/saml/download/cert

2. Login to your Docusign developer portal as an administrator.

3. Navigate to the Settings tab.
