Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) with Salesforce as the Identity Provider
For Service Cloud Voice with Partner Telephony, let reps use a single sign-on page to
log in to Voice and in to your partner telephony provider’s system. Configure Salesforce to
serve as your identity provider (IdP) and then follow your telephony provider’s instructions for
completing the setup. Before you start, ask your telephony provider for the instructions for
setting up SSO.
Before you begin, contact Salesforce Support to request the ability to create
connected apps. This requirement starts in Spring ’26.
Configure Salesforce as your identity provider.
From Setup, enter Identity Provider in the Quick Find box, select
Identity Provider, and enable it.
Click Download Certificate.
Click Download Metadata.
Create a connected app to use for SSO.
From Setup, enter App Manager in the Quick Find box. Click App Manager | New Connected App.
Create a new connected app and specify the following details in the Basic Information and
Web App Settings:
Name the connected app.
Select Enable SAML.
Enter the ACS URL and Entity ID.
For Subject Type, select required and update the name ID format to match the expected
SSO URL.
Select your IDP Certificate from the dropdown menu.
Save your work.
Click Manage profile and select all the profiles for which you want
to grant access to use SSO.
After enabling the Identity Provider, download the metadata file for using Salesforce as
your IdP. Use this metadata XML file to set up SSO in your external telephony system.
To complete the SSO setup, follow your telephony provider’s guide.
