Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/identity-providers/centrify-saml/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Centrify secures access to infrastructure, DevOps, cloud, and other modern enterprise so you can prevent the number one cause of breaches: privileged access abuse.

## Set up Centrify as a SAML provider

## 1\. Create an application in Centrify

1. Log in to your **Centrify** admin portal and select **Apps**.
2. Select **Add Web Apps**.
3. Select the **Custom** tab.
4. Next to the **SAML** icon, select **Add**.

```  
You can find your team name in the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com) under **Settings** \> **Team name and domain** \> **Team name**.

### 2\. Add Centrify to Cloudflare One

1. In the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **Zero Trust** \> **Integrations** \> **Identity providers**.
2. Under **Your identity providers**, select **Add new identity provider**.
3. Select **SAML**.
4. Copy and paste the corresponding information from Centrify into the fields.
5. (Optional) To enable SCIM, refer to [Synchronize users and groups](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/identity-providers/generic-saml/#synchronize-users-and-groups).
6. (Optional) Under **Optional configurations**, configure [additional SAML options](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/identity-providers/generic-saml/#optional-configurations).
7. Select **Save**.

To test that your connection is working, go to **Integrations** \> **Identity providers** and select **Test** next to the identity provider you want to test.

## Download SP metadata (optional)

Some IdPs allow administrators to upload metadata files from their SP (service provider).

To get your Cloudflare metadata file:

1. Download your unique SAML metadata file at the following URL:  
```txt  
https://<your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/saml-metadata  
```
2. Save the file in XML format.
3. Upload the XML document to your **Centrify** account.
