## What is Login with SSO?
|
|
|
|
Login with SSO separates user authentication from Vault decryption by leveraging your existing Identity Provider (IdP) to authenticate users into their Bitwarden Vault and using Master Passwords for decryption of Vault data.
|
|
|
|
Login with SSO currently supports SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication for customers on the current Enterprise Plan.
|
|
|
|
Users of Bitwarden authenticate into their vaults using the **Enterprise Single Sign-On** button located on the login screen of any Bitwarden client application. For more information, see [Access Your Vault Using SSO](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/sso-access-your-vault/).
|
|
|
|
Administrators can configure Login with SSO in the Business Portal. For more information, see [About the Business Portal](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-business-portal/).

### Requiring SSO for Users
|
|
|
|
Using the **Single Sign-On Authentication** policy, Enterprise Organizations can require non-Owner/non-Admin users to log in to Bitwarden with Enterprise Single Sign-On. For more information about setting up this policy, see [Policies]({% link _articles/organizations/policies.md %}).
|
|
|
|
## Enterprise Free Trial
|
|
|
|
Login with SSO is available for all customers on the current Enterprise plan (for more information, see [About Bitwarden Plans]({% link _articles/plans-and-pricing/about-bitwarden-plans.md %}). If you're new to Bitwarden, we'd love to help you through the process of setting up an account and starting your 7 Day Free Trial Enterprise Organization with our dedicated signup page:
|
|
|
|
<a role="button" class="btn btn-primary" href="https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/register?org=enterprise">Start your Enterprise Free Trial</a>
|
|
|
|
If you're an experienced Bitwarden user, refer to the [this article]({% link _articles/plans-and-pricing/enterprise-free-trial.md %}) for help. If you're self-hosting Bitwarden, you will need to generate a new license file after starting your 7 Day Free Trial. We recommend using a separate Bitwarden instance for testing Login with SSO. For more information, see [Licensing Paid Features](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/licensing-on-premise).
