Get SAML Configuration

Version 4.0.24.18

Get the SAML configuration.

Looker can be optionally configured to authenticate users against a SAML authentication server. SAML setup requires coordination with an administrator of that server.

Only Looker administrators can read and update the SAML configuration.

Configuring SAML impacts authentication for all users. This configuration should be done carefully.

Looker maintains a single SAML configuration. It can be read and updated. Updates only succeed if the new state will be valid (in the sense that all required fields are populated); it is up to you to ensure that the configuration is appropriate and correct).

SAML is enabled or disabled for Looker using the enabled field.

Calls to this endpoint may be denied by Looker (Google Cloud core).
