Once the MonoSign app configuration has been saved:

  1. The IdP Metadata XML must be downloaded from the IdP.

  2. In FSProtect’s New Provider screen, the XML must be uploaded via the XML Upload Field.

  3. The configuration must be saved in FSProtect.

  4. MonoSign users or groups must then be assigned to the app.

After these steps, FSProtect SSO Login will function with correct username and role mappings.
