In order to use SAML to sign into Reftab, you will need to verify ownership for all domains which you want to use.

  1. Go to Settings > SAML SSO Settings.
  2. Click Add New Domain and fill out your SAML settings.

  3. For each domain you are verifying, copy the TXT resource record to your domain’s DNS configuration. The TXT resource record will be ‘reftab-domain-verification=’ and a string of letter and numbers.
  1. Adding the TXT record:
    1. Log in to your DNS host as an administrator
    2. Navigate to the settings page where you can add new records for your domain.
    3. Select the option to add a record.
    4. See the following table for the values to enter for your DNS record.
Field Value
Record Type TXT
Value Paste the TXT resource record copied from Reftab
Name/Host/Alias Use the default value, type @ (at) or leave it blank.
Time to live (TTL) Type your required period of time, for example 1 hour or 86400 sec, depending on what your organization requires.
  1. For each domain you are verifying, select Verify Domain so that Reftab can verify that the record was added to your domain’s DNS.

Propagation Time
It typically takes a few minutes for a record to propagate through the DNS system and the value to become available for Reftab to verify. In some cases, it may take up to 24 hours.

  1. Each domain that is verified will be marked as Verified. Once verified, you can login using the domain.
