How do I update my expiring Single Sign-On (SSO) certificates in VNDLY?
To ensure continuous login access, we recommend performing these steps to update expiring, single sign-on (SSO) certificates:
  1. Planning and Preparation
    • Confirm which tenant needs the SSO certificates to be updated: Production, Test, or both tenants.
    • Note the expiration date of your current certificates.
    • Obtain the full SAML metadata file from your Identity Provider (IdP). If you only have certificates, you must acquire the complete metadata file.
    • Coordinate a specific date and time with your team to perform the updates.
    • Ensure an active user who can log in to VNDLY using SAML SSO is available for verification and testing.
    • Before you make any changes, thoroughly document your current metadata:
      1. Duplicate the current browser tab to keep the original IdP metadata accessible for quick reference or a potential revert.
      2. Save the current metadata to a separate local file.
      3. Take screenshots of the current metadata configuration within VNDLY.
  2. Update IdP Metadata in VNDLY
    1. After the update has been performed on your IdP, log in to VNDLY and navigate to
      More
      Company Settings
      .
    2. From the
      Security
      section, click
      SAML Single Sign On
      .
    3. Click
      Edit
      for the desired SAML authentication server.
    4. On the
      Identity Providers
      tab, click
      Edit
      for the desired IdP.
    5. Paste the content of your full, new SAML metadata file into the
      IdP metadata
      field.
    6. Click
      Save
      .
  3. Verification and Testing
    To confirm the update was successful, log in to VNDLY with the designated SSO test user to verify a successful login.
    We strongly recommend that you perform these changes and verify them in your Test tenant first before deploying them in your Production tenant.
