SSO Certificate Renewal Process

This article outlines the process for handling renewals of expiring SSO (SAML) certificates.

Updated yesterday

Overview:


SSO (SAML) certificates expire periodically and must be renewed to maintain uninterrupted authentication. Because Frontify supports only one active certificate at a time, renewals require synchronized updates between your identity provider and our platform to avoid login failures.

Steps to Renew Your SSO Certificate:

  1. Prepare Required Information:

    • IT contact emails for coordination

    • Domain affected by the certificate renewal

    • New certificate or metadata.xml file from your identity provider

  2. Contact your Customer Success Manager:

    • Provide your IT contacts, the domain affected by the renewal, and the new certificate or metadata.xml file (if already prepared).

  3. Coordinate the Certificate Switch:

    • Our support team will schedule a coordinated switch time within support hours with your IT

    • We will update the configuration on our side

    • You will receive confirmation when testing can begin

Critical Requirements:

  • Send us your new certificate before making changes on your side to avoid login disruptions

  • Certificate updates can only be performed during support hours

  • Do not update your identity provider configuration until we confirm our side is ready

Support Hours for Certificate Updates:

Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM - 11:30 PM CET

Friday 8:30 AM - 11:00 PM CET

Monday-Thursday 2:30 AM - 5:30 PM EST

Friday 2:30 AM - 5:00 PM EST
