Streamlining Access Management
Enterprise Single Sign-On (ESSO) integration, available to all our Business tier
customers, allows your organization to authenticate users across Anaconda
products using your existing internal identity platform. This enterprise-level
authentication solution simplifies access management while enhancing security
and compliance across your data science and AI development ecosystem.
With ESSO, you can authenticate seamlessly across Anaconda endpoints through
a single identity provider session, eliminating credential proliferation and reducing
attack surface. If you're a system administrator, you gain centralized control over
authentication events, ensuring consistent security policies while reducing
administrative overhead through automated provisioning workflows.
ESSO helps you, the admin:
● Centralize user management through an existing identity provider,
● Enforce IDP security policies including password requirements and MFA
across Anaconda products,
● Quickly provision and remove user access across Anaconda products
in minutes rather than days,
● Maintain detailed audit logs for compliance purposes, simplifying security
audits and regulatory reporting, and
● Minimize security vulnerabilities from orphaned accounts with immediate
access revocation.
ESSO helps your end users:
● Access Anaconda products using their existing corporate credentials,
● Gain secure and consistent access wherever they work from, and
● Reduce context switching between applications, improving their
productivity and workflow continuity.
Setting Up ESSO
Upon request, Anaconda will email a self-service setup link to you or your IT
representative. Select either Configure Single Sign-On or Configure Directory
Sync, then follow the prompts for your Identity Provider (IdP) to set up your
Anaconda SSO configuration.
To request a self-service setup link, contact your dedicated Customer Service
Manager (CSM) or open a Technical Request support ticket.
Configure Single Sign-on or Configure Directory Sync
When you receive a self-service setup link from Anaconda, it will guide you
through a step-by-step process to configure either SSO or Directory Sync.
After opening the link, you’ll arrive at the Set up your Anaconda SSO/SCIM
organization page, where you can select between two options: Configure Single
Sign-On or Configure Directory Sync. Select the option that best suits your
organization’s needs.
Next Steps
With SSO enabled, employees within your organization with matching domains will
be prompted to authenticate via your IdP when signing in to Anaconda. When a
user signs in with SSO for the first time, the system will:
● Create their Anaconda account,
● Add them to your organization with baseline permissions,
● Assign them a seat, and
● Send the organization access token to their email.
Direct your organization members to follow the instructions in the email to
authenticate with Anaconda by setting up their organization access token. For
additional details on access tokens, refer to Token Access.
