Go to Dashboard > Applications > Applications and create a new application. Give it a meaningful name like GitHub. You can choose any application type, but the Regular Web App type is recommended.
Go to the Addons tab and enable the SAML2 Web App toggle.
On the Settings tab, set the Application Callback URL to : https://github.com/orgs/{yourGitHubOrgName}/saml/consume.
Paste the following code into the Settings text box and click Debug.
Replace `{yourGitHubOrgName}` with the GitHub organization name that corresponds to your GitHub subscription. For example `https://github.yourname.com`. 1. The above mapping will send the `user_id` as the **Name Identifier** to GitHub. Use this option if you enable more than one connection for the GitHub application, as it will ensure uniqueness (every user will have a different ID). 2. If you are using a single connection, you might prefer to use the `nickname` or another unique identifier as a friendlier **Name Identifier**, but make sure that the property you choose is unique.5. Scroll to the bottom of the tab and click **Enable**.6. On the **Usage** tab, locate **Identity Provider Metadata**, and click **Download** to download the metadata file. You'll need this when you configure Auth0 as the identity provider. <Frame></Frame>## Configure SAML SSO on GitHubFollow the instructions in [Using SAML on Enterprise Server- GitHub Help](https://help.github.com/en/enterprise/admin/user-management/using-saml#configuring-saml-settings) to complete the configuration on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You will need the following information:| **Field** | **Entry** || --- | --- || **Sign On URL** | `https://{yourDomain}/samlp/{CLIENT_ID}` `{CLIENT_ID}` will be the `client_id` for the GitHub application you just created in Auth0. || **Issuer** | `urn:auth0:{yourTenant}` || **Verification Certificate** | Download it from `https://{yourDomain}/pem`. Open the downloaded file with a text editor, copy the contents and paste it in the text area on GitHub. || **User Attributes** | Leave the defaults here, as the mapping that we configured in the SAML Web App addon uses the default attribute names proposed by GitHub. || **Signature method** | `RSA256-SHA256` || **Digest method** | `SHA256` |
