# Configure Multi-Provider SSO properties

Configure SSO properties and also add a property to the System Properties table to configure an IdP inclusion list.

## Before you begin

Role required: sso\_config\_admin, business\_rule\_admin, script\_include\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Multi-Provider SSO** > **Administration** > **Properties**.

2.  Select the **Enable Multi-Provider SSO** check box.

    This selection adds the link Use external login to the login page.

3.  To [update the user table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/authentication/t_AdministerSAMLUserProvisioning.md) with the users in the IdP, select the **Enable Auto Importing** option.

4.  To enable the debug messages to appear at the bottom of the content frame, select the **Enable debug logging for the Multi-Provider SSO integration** check box.

    If enabled, the debug logging feature slows down performance and uses up disk space to generate logs.

5.  In the property **The field on the user table that identifies a user accessing the User identification login page**, enter the field on the User table that contains the value the IdP uses to identify the user. The default value is **user\_name**.

    The default value is **user\_name**.
