# Configure Single Sign-On (SSO)

This guide outlines the steps to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) for your CARTO Self-Hosted instance. SSO allows users to log in with a single set of credentials across multiple systems. For background on SSO configuration in CARTO, see [SSO integration](/carto-user-manual/settings/sso.md).

## Prerequisites

{% hint style="info" %}
SSO configuration requires involvement from CARTO Support. Contact <support@carto.com> before starting.
{% endhint %}

1. **Contact CARTO Support** — initiate the SSO configuration request and share your organization's requirements.
2. **Receive your Organization ID** — once SSO is configured on the CARTO side, Support will provide a unique **Organization ID** required to complete the setup on your installation.

## Configuration

Inject the Organization ID provided by CARTO Support into your CARTO Self-Hosted instance:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="☸️ Kots (Admin Console)" %} <img src="/files/iX0yYSxrIcdJH0mbRf9w" alt="Kots" width="18">

In the Admin Console, locate the **SSO Organization ID** field and enter the value provided by CARTO Support.

Click **Save config** and then **Deploy** to apply the change.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="🛞 Helm (customizations.yaml)" %} <img src="/files/5mQydBQdQ20MZUxbcOKQ" alt="Helm" width="18">

Add the following to your `customizations.yaml`, replacing the value with the Organization ID provided by CARTO Support:

```yaml
appConfigValues:
  ssoOrganizationId: "<YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID>"
```

Then apply the change:

```bash
helm upgrade carto carto/carto \
  --namespace <namespace> \
  -f carto-values.yaml \
  -f carto-secrets.yaml \
  -f customizations.yaml
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Once deployed, navigate to your CARTO deployment domain. It will redirect users to your identity provider for login.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.carto.com/carto-self-hosted/configuration/security/configure-single-sign-on-sso.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
