- Click the workspace name in the top left corner of your desktop.

- Select Settings & administration from the menu, then click Workspace settings.
- Click the Authentication tab.
- Next to SAML authentication, click Configuration.
- In the top right, toggle Test mode on.
- Next to SAML SSO URL, enter your SAML 2.0 endpoint URL(HTTP).
- Next to Identity provider issuer, enter your IDP entity ID.
- Copy the entire x.509 certificate from your identity provider and paste it into the Public certificate field
- Next to Advanced options, click Expand. Choose how the SAML response from your IDP is signed. If you need an end-to-end encryption key, tick the box next to Sign AuthnRequest to show the certificate.
- Under Settings, decide if member can edit their profile information (like their email or display name) after SSO is enabled. You can also choose whether SSO is required, partially required* or optional.
- Under Customise, enter a Sign-in button label.
- Select Save configuration to finish.
- Now, visit https://yourdomain.slack.com/ to test authentication.
- Congratulations! You are now using slack passwordless.
