How to configure SAML and OIDC settings with your AI

Connect PropelAuth to your AI client once. From there, you can manage identity provider configurations and tenant connection statuses through natural language.

Short answer

How do I set up SAML or OIDC for my tenants using AI?

You tell your AI to update metadata or change connection statuses for specific tenants. It handles the technical configuration of IdP details and connection links directly in PropelAuth. You get a fully configured authentication flow without touching the PropelAuth dashboard.

Configuration outcomes

Where your changes land.

The AI directs your identity settings to the right places in PropelAuth.

METADATA

Updated IdP details

The AI pushes new SAML or OIDC metadata to your tenants. Your identity providers stay in sync with your application settings.

STATUS

Connection states

The AI toggles SAML permissions and moves connections to a live state. This updates how your tenants access your app.

LINKS

New connection URLs

The AI generates specific SAML connection links. You can grab these to send to your customers for setup.

HUMAN

Manual verification

The AI cannot verify if a third-party IdP is actually working. You'll need to test the login flow yourself after the AI finishes the setup.

The workflow

What your AI does when a configuration request arrives.

Your AI acts as a technical operator for your PropelAuth tenant settings.

  1. Fetch current settings

    The AI pulls your existing service provider details to ensure the new configuration matches your current setup.

    get_saml_sp_metadata

  2. Apply IdP metadata

    The AI sends the new XML or JSON metadata to PropelAuth for either SAML or OIDC providers.

    set_saml_idp_metadataset_oidc_idp_metadata

  3. Enable connections

    The AI switches on SAML capabilities for a tenant and pushes the connection to a live state.

    allow_samlgo_live_saml

  4. Generate setup links

    The AI creates the specific URL needed to establish a new SAML connection for a tenant.

    create_saml_connection_link

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete a tenant?

    No. The AI can only manage metadata, connection statuses, and links.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my user passwords?

    No. This Connector only handles identity provider configuration, not user credentials.

  • 03

    Can I use this for OIDC as well as SAML?

    Yes. The AI can set OIDC metadata just as easily as SAML.

  • 04

    Does the AI test the login flow?

    No. The AI only configures the settings in PropelAuth. You must perform the actual login test to ensure the IdP is configured correctly.

  • 05

    Can the AI create new tenants?

    No. The tools are limited to configuring existing tenants and their connection settings.
