Area 1
Cloudflare Area 1 ↗ is an email security platform that protects your organization’s inbox from phishing, spam, and other malicious messages. This guide covers how to configure Area 1 as a SAML application in Cloudflare Zero Trust.
- An identity provider configured in Cloudflare Zero Trust
- Admin access to your Area 1 account
- Your user’s email in Area 1 matches their email in Zero Trust
-
In Zero Trust ↗, go to Access > Applications.
-
Select Add an application.
-
Select SaaS.
-
In the Application field, enter
Area 1
and select Area 1. (Area 1 is not currently listed in the default drop-down menu.) -
Enter the following values for your application configuration:
Entity ID https://horizon.area1security.com
Assertion Consumer Service URL https://horizon.area1security.com/api/users/saml
Name ID Format Email -
(Optional) Configure App Launcher settings for the application.
-
Choose the Identity providers you want to enable for your application.
-
Turn on Instant Auth if you are selecting only one login method for your application, and would like your end users to skip the identity provider selection step.
-
Select Next.
-
To control who can access your application, create an Access policy.
-
Select Next.
Finally, you will need to configure Area 1 to allow users to log in through Cloudflare Access.
-
In your Area 1 portal ↗, go to Settings > SSO.
-
Turn on Single Sign On.
-
(Optional) To require users to sign in through Access, set SSO Enforcement to All. When SSO is enforced, users will no longer be able to sign in with their Area 1 credentials.
-
In SAML SSO Domain, enter
<your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com
. -
Get your Metadata XML file:
-
In Zero Trust, copy the SSO Endpoint for your application.
-
In a new browser tab, paste the SSO Endpoint and append
/saml-metadata
to the end of the URL. For example,https://<your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/sso/saml/<app-id>/saml-metadata
. -
Copy the resulting metadata.
-
-
Return to the Area 1 portal and paste the metadata into Metadata XML.
-
Select Update Settings.
-
In Zero Trust, select Done.
Your application will appear on the Applications page. If you added the application to your App Launcher, you can test the integration by going to <your-team-name>.cloudflareaccess.com
