# Configuring Single Sign On using SAML for the Alemba API

This authentication type can only be used in conjuction with the Authorization Code grant flow and is not supported by the Implicit Grant flow.

To enable SAML based Authentication, the Single Sign On checkbox must be enabled in the API Client settings page.

Single Sign On must also be configured using ASM Core admin. The list of available User Interfaces now includes each Alemba API client.

For more information, see [Single Sign-On using SAML](/asm-hermes/integrate/managing-integration/single-sign-on-using-saml.md).

## 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.alemba.com/asm-hermes/integrate/apis/alemba-restful-api/authentication/configuring-single-sign-on-using-saml-for-the-alemba-api.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.
