SSO setup guide

This guide explains how to configure AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) within the Cloud1.live application to authenticate and access your AWS account. By using SSO, you can log in with your AWS Identity Center credentials instead of manually entering IAM user access keys.

Important Disclaimer:

Cloud1.Live does not store, transmit, or use your AWS access key and secret beyond providing management tools for your AWS account. These credentials are stored locally on your system in an encrypted format and are never sent outside of your system. Cloud1.live supports IAM configurations that control a single account. Please create a dedicated IAM role specifically for the account you want Cloud1.live to manage. If you have multiple accounts, ensure that each has its own dedicated IAM role and use a Pro license for comprehensive management.

Step 1: Open AWS Identity Center Navigate to the AWS Console and go to **IAM Identity Center**. Here, you will find the **AWS access portal URL** which will be required to connect Cloud1.live with your AWS account.

Step 2: Copy AWS SSO Portal URL From the IAM Identity Center dashboard, copy your **AWS access portal URL**. This is the link used by your organization for SSO authentication.

Step 3: Configure Cloud1.live Application 1. Open the Cloud1.live application. 2. Go to **AWS Account Settings**. 3. Paste the copied **AWS SSO start URL** in the designated field. 4. Select the **SSO Region** corresponding to your AWS account. 5. Save the settings.

Step 4: Authenticate and Verify After saving, Cloud1.live will redirect you to the AWS SSO login page. Log in using your AWS Identity Center credentials. Once authenticated, Cloud1.live will synchronize your account and allow you to manage AWS instances. Enter your AWS username that got permissions and password.

After successful authentication you will get a message to allow access, press" Allow".

You will get a message to authorize requests. Press "Confirm and continue".

You will get a message that verify the connection. Press "Done".

If authentication is done, you will get the "Request approved" message.

Go back to cloud1 app, you should be able to see all your instances in your environment.
