This blog explains how to configure SSO-based authentication in Progress Chef 360 by integrating with external Identity Providers (IdPs) using standard protocols like SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC). It covers tenant-level configuration, including enabling SSO settings, adding and managing identity providers, setting a default provider, and validating the authentication flow. The guide also highlights key aspects such as invite-only user provisioning, attribute mapping, and the importance of correct IdP configuration. Additionally, it outlines common issues (like incorrect metadata, certificate problems, and misconfigured attributes) and explains how SSO improves security, simplifies access management, and aligns Chef 360 with enterprise authentication systems.

Enterprise infrastructure teams need platforms they can run, protect, and recover with confidence while meeting existing security and operational constraints. The Progress Chef 360 platform delivers enterprise‑ready automation by unifying infrastructure automation, continuous compliance, node management, and job orchestration into a single system. With built‑in disaster recovery and fully supported Bring Your Own Kubernetes (BYOK) deployments, Chef 360 enables organizations to operate securely, consistently, and at scale across cloud, on‑premises, and hybrid environments.

Starting with Progress Chef Workstation 26, we are moving away from our historical dated versioning scheme and adopting loose Semantic Versioning (SemVer).

The new Progress Chef Habitat release brings updates to platform support, modernizes key dependencies and simplifies parts of the user experience.

Chef 360 transforms Kubernetes operations with policy-driven execution, eliminating direct access while enabling secure, auditable, intent-based automation.
