Google Auth for Status Pages
With FireHydrant's status pages, you can lock them behind your SSO provider so that only employees or other organization members can access them.
Note:
We currently only support SAML 2.0 for SSO-authenticated status pages. In addition, this limits access to anyone in your organization who can login via SSO, not only users with FireHydrant licenses.
Prerequisites
- You'll first want to set up and configure a status page. Once the page is created and accessible, you can start working through these instructions to lock it behind authentication.
Google SAML
1. Create SAML application
Specify a name like "Internal Status Page" and click Continue.

5. Enable for org units

6. Submit metadata to FireHydrant Support
Once finished, attach the identity provider metadata document from Step #2 on a support ticket.
Your support representative will complete the setup with you from there.
7. Verify
Once FireHydrant has configured and finished the setup, attempting to access an SSO-locked status page should redirect you to your organization's SSO sign-on page.
