To begin the configuration of the single sign-on (SSO) implementation, the primary admin (or SSO admin) must have a domain set up and have access to the admin account with the identity provider. Note that the provider must have the ability to set up a SAML connection. Additionally, you should have notified all users that the change to SSO is coming and identified a select group of users that will be testing the connection for you.
Please take note that turning on SSO will take effect immediately. You can only turn it off by contacting Autodesk Support. It’s important to set it up correctly and test the connection before enabling it so that users will not have interrupted access to Autodesk products and services.
The following are the main steps in SSO configuration. For each step, a link has been provided to the Single Sign-on Configuration Guide to provide additional help documentation and a video has been included to show you the process.
1. Add your domain(s) to your Autodesk account and verify it so that it can be used for SSO. Verifying your domain confirms that you are the owner or admin for your organization’s domain name. You will need to add the email domain(s) that your Autodesk users use to sign in to your organization. Refer to the Add and Verify Domains topic for additional instructions.

Hello, I am going to walk you through how to set up your Autodesk Single Sign-on with your identity provider.
00:10
As part of that process, you should be having access to your domain host, have an admin account with your identity provider.
00:21
The second step is to add and verify your domains.
00:27
As part of that verifying your domain, you should be logging in as an account administrator,
00:35
as a primary admin or as an SSO admin onto your Autodesk manage portal.
00:41
Then, within the user management section of By User tab submenu, you should do this user management page.
00:51
Within that workflow, you would be automatically redirected within the team that you are part of and where you want to set up your Single Sign-on.
01:03
Within this user management page, you will see this gear icon.
01:07
Clicking this gear icon will navigate you to the settings.
01:12
On clicking onto the Manage SSO button, you would be navigated on setting up your domains.
01:22
As a part of first step, you should be able to add your own domain and verify your domain.
01:30
Now you will see over here, there is this Add Domains button.
01:35
Now, what I am going to do is that I am going to add my domain, and through the self-serve workflow that Autodesk has provided,
01:45
I should be able to verify my domain without requiring any help from the Autodesk support team.
01:55
My domain is-
02:02
I add this particular domain, and the next step is getting this domain verified.
02:09
I click on this Verify Domain button.
02:12
You will see there are two options to verify your domain.
02:16
One is clicking on this link through which Autodesk provides an HTML verification file,
02:25
and you, as an IT administrator, need to upload this HTML file onto your domain host server,
02:34
and the verification could be done within few minutes.
02:38
The second way is creating a text record on your DNS side, but this can take up to 72+ hours depending on the service provider to service provider.
02:50
But the most recommended way is to upload your HTML file onto your domain host.
02:55
In this way, you can verify your domain within minutes.
03:01
Now, I click onto this Verify HTML button link and I save this HTML file onto a local machine.
03:11
Now, let's verify what is there into this particular file that Autodesk is providing.
03:18
This is nothing, but some information to identify the domain that the user is uploading to the Autodesk side.
03:28
I will login to my domain host server, and within the domain host server, I would upload my HTML file, which was provided by Autodesk.
03:44
Now, it happens that my domain host right now is in HostGator.
03:49
It could be any service provider.
03:51
It could be on Azure, GCP, AWS, or even you could have your own servers who is hosting your domain host.
04:02
I would select this particular file and upload this file on to my domain host's root folder.
04:11
Now, I go back to my Autodesk account portal and just hit the Verify now button.
04:19
Once I hit this Verify now button, you see that the domain was verified within minutes,
04:28
and without taking any further help from the Autodesk support team.

2. Set up the connection between your Autodesk account and your identity provider. How the connection is established is dependent on your identity provider (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Okta, ADFS, OneLogin, PingOne, PingFederate, or Google Cloud Identity). For detailed instructions on how to set up SSO for your identity provider, refer to the Set up your connection articles.
3. Test the connection by adding up to 30 users from your Autodesk team to the linked connection before turning on SSO. Once you have confirmed your test users can successfully log in using SSO, you can turn on SSO for the entire team. Refer to the Test and turn on SSO topic for additional instructions.
If you have any issues or questions about configuring your identity provider, you can click the 
icon in the lower-right corner in Autodesk Account to access the Get Help menu. Select Post-purchase support > Sign in & profile > Single sign-on (SSO). You can review the Knowledge Network articles or click Contact a support agent for further help. The Learn more about SSO link will direct you to the Single Sign-on Configuration Guide that has been referenced in the videos.
