Prerequisites

  • An identity provider configured in Cloudflare Zero Trust
  • Super admin access to an Asana Enterprise, Enterprise+, or Legacy Enterprise account

  2. Select Add an application > SaaS > Select.
  3. For Application, select Asana.
  4. For the authentication protocol, select SAML.
  5. Select Add application.
  6. Fill in the following fields:
    • Entity ID: https://app.asana.com/
    • Assertion Consumer Service URL: https://app.asana.com/-/saml/consume
    • Name ID format: Email
  7. Copy the SSO endpoint and Public key.
  8. Select Save configuration.
  9. Configure Access policies for the application.

2. Add a SAML SSO provider to Asana

  1. In Asana, select your profile picture > Admin console > Security > SAML authentication.
  2. Under SAML options, select Optional.
  3. Fill in the following fields:
    • Sign-in page URL: SSO endpoint from application configuration in Cloudflare Zero Trust.
    • X.509 certificate: Public key from application configuration in Cloudflare Zero Trust. Wrap the public key in -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE-----.
