Access & authentication

The Access & authentication section allows you to configure how your users will log into Devolutions Cloud.

For complete instructions on how to configure single sign-on (SSO) with Devolutions Cloud, see Get started with SSO in Devolutions Cloud.

General & Authentication modes

In the General section, you can enable login settings for your users.

Option Description
Force prompt login Enforces a login prompt for all users. If users have set up their multifactor authentication in their Devolutions Account, this will only prompt multifactor authentication.
Enforce multifactor authentication on Devolutions Account Enforces all users to set a multifactor authentication on their Devolutions Account.
Enforce number matching push notifications via Devolutions Workspace apps Enables 2FA number matching for all users of this Devolutions Cloud instance with our Devolutions Workspace apps.
Single sign-on (SSO) Allow users to sign in using a configured identity provider (SSO).
Devolutions Account Allow users to sign into Devolutions Cloud with their Devolutions Account.
Contractor Allow authentication with a contractor user, i.e., a temporary user with limited access rights and UI options.
Inactivity logout time Disconnects users after a set inactivity time value, ranging from 5 minutes to 4 hours (unless Off). The delay is only active when the page is open.

The Enforce multifactor authentication on Devolutions Account and Enforce number matching push notifications via Devolutions Workspace apps settings do not apply to users that log in with single sign-on (SSO).

Domain

For the full domain verification and SSO setup instructions, visit Get started with SSO in Devolutions Cloud.

Verify your domain(s) for single sign-on. Multiple domains can be verified in a single SSO configuration. It is mandatory as it allows us to verify the ownership of the domain(s) supplied.

In a separate window, log in to your domain host and find your DNS records. Create and save a new .txt record using the information provided below.

You know that your domain has been successfully verified when its status changes from Pending to Verified, as indicated with an icon of a checkmark within a green circle, as seen below.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

For the full SSO setup instructions, visit Get started with SSO in Devolutions Cloud.

You have access to the Single Sign-On (SSO) section to configure SSO for your Devolutions Cloud users. Start by selecting the identity manager of your choice between Microsoft and Okta.

You then have to enter some information as seen below.

By default, SSO will be enabled once you complete its configuration. You can also Force SSO on all users.

If you enable Force SSO on all users , users will not have access to Devolutions Cloud in case of misconfiguration or downtime of your SSO provider. We strongly recommend that you inform all existing users in your Devolutions Cloud of this new authentication method prior to activating it. Alternatively, see Disable Force SSO on all users in Devolutions Cloud using PowerShell to temporarily disable the feature.

After SSO is set up, users will then be able to log in to your Devolutions Cloud instance using their Entra ID or Okta credentials in addition to being able to do so with their Devolutions Account credentials.

After having configured and saved your SSO settings, it is still possible to edit them or even delete them.

Provisioning

User and user group provisioning is currently only available with Microsoft Entra ID.

Synchronize and automate the provisioning and deprovisioning process of your Devolutions Cloud users and groups by configuring your Identity Provider with Devolutions Cloud using the SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) specification under your idP (Identity Provider) configurations.

Your domain(s) must be verified and single sign-on must first be configured and enabled to set up the provisioning. For the full provisioning setup instructions, visit Get started with SSO in Devolutions Cloud.

Encryption Service

Devolutions Cloud's encryption service streamlines access to Devolutions Cloud by eliminating the requirement to individually invite each user from your SSO provider. You need to enable the feature and enter the Encryption service URL, which is where the encryption service will listen for incoming requests. This URL or IP address only needs to be reachable by clients logging in using the encryption service.

See Encryption service for a list of requirements and configuration guides.
